Establishment of an Integrated Environmental Information Platform for Public-Private Cooperation in Environmental Management of the Miho River Basin

Overview

Previously, environmental management of the Miho River basin (the Geum River's largest tributary) was handled by individual agencies, resulting in fragmented data and issues with inconsistent public complaint handling and environmental monitoring. This project aims to strengthen sustainable environmental governance by establishing a platform that integrates management of diverse environmental information within the Miho River basin and encourages private sector participation.

Project description

This system maximizes the effectiveness of river management through the integration of environmental data, environmental complaint management functions, and environmental monitoring.

• Environmental Data Integration and Visualization – It integrates and manages environmental data from national and local governments on a single platform. By utilizing GIS to visually present environmental information for the Miho River basin, it supports efficient decision-making.
• Establishing Environmental Governance for Public-Private Collaboration – Builds a public-private collaboration platform to resolve environmental issues, strengthening communication between local residents and administrative agencies and supporting joint environmental protection activities. Enhances accessibility to environmental administrative services, including online opinion sharing and complaint submission functions.
• Environmental Monitoring through Public Data Integration – Utilizes public data to establish a system for monitoring diverse environmental information in the Miho River basin, including water quality, weather, and precipitation. This enables sophisticated environmental analysis and prediction through the adoption of new AI technologies, thereby supporting environmental policy and administrative measures.
• Mobile App and Web-Based Platform Operation - Develop mobile apps and web-based platforms that are easy for both citizens and administrative agencies to use, providing functions such as receiving environmental complaints, monitoring river ecosystems, and sharing environmental protection activities.

Key technological features

• Environmental Data Integration and Visualization: Integrating public and private environmental data to provide environmental information
• Public Data Linkage: Utilizing public data related to rivers to provide information and support policy decisions
• Mobile and Web-Based Platform Development: Providing user-friendly environmental monitoring and participatory services

Expected outcomes

This system enables systematic operation of river management and establishes sustainable environmental governance through public-private cooperation. Furthermore, it is expected to enhance environmental pollution response capabilities through data utilization and future AI model implementation. This project aims to establish an integrated public river data system through the revitalization of river data, foster river basin community governance, and support private environmental initiatives.

Launch year: 2024
