Abstract:

In order to maintain ecological environment, protect limited natural resources, promote the quality of life, and advance the eternally usage of all precious resources, we have some good achievement in both industrial circles, government official areas, and academic communities. Since each engineering method will cause different impact, we need to effectively grasp the biological information for engineers to make the appropriate decisions in choosing the construction system. In the completion time of the project, the ecological restoration condition can be an important indexes to determinate the successful of the ecological engineering method. In this research, we will use GIS, ER Model, Database and Delphi to develop “Ecological Engineering Environment Index Monitoring Management System”. In this system, we will record the species, quantity, and appearing timing of all creatures. The referred index, such as gradient, vegetation multiplicity, landforms, etc., that can be used in design period will be stored and can be queried from system to achieve a better construction system. Through the help of this system, we can record all biological information and referred index so the engineering designer can inquire these data to exactly control the related ecological information around the project base. This will reduce the impact of the construction to the only earth we have. We can evaluate the restoration of the creatures to examine the effects of the project. These evaluation data can be used to adjust the design index for future project. We can then effectively protect the earth resources and make the better use of the natural resources.
