Mean Score Analysis for reclaimed land use alternatives
 
To facilitate comparison across various reclaimed land use alternatives, mean score analysis has been conducted using a 5-point scale. A score of "5" was assigned to "Support very much", "4" to "Support somewhat", "3" to "Half-half / Neutral", "2" to "Object somewhat", and "1" to "Object very much". In other words, the higher the scores, the higher the level of support. The individual scores obtained by each alternative are listed below (in descending order):
