| description | The tropical rainforest of Malaysia holds one of the richest flora in the
world. The favourable climate has produced flora of amazing richness and
variety. Terrestrial vegetation of tropical rainforests is an important feature of
the environment. Plants play a major role in the environment. Conservation of a particular environment depends fundamentally on the maintenance of existing
plants and their communities and hierarchies. Therefore, the application of a
computer technology in the form of an expert system (ES) will be able to help
in the analysis and management of the EIA information. The ES is named
VEGEVIC. A rule-based system is developed to guide the user in producing an
EIA report. Knowledge for this system is elicited from the domain expert
through interviews, existing literature and EIA reports between 1995 and 1997.
Application of the system will lead to greater consistency in producing a
standard approach when preparing an EIA report. |
