Environmental Impact Prediction Using GIS in the Philippines
Environmental Impact Prediction Using GIS in the Philippines Introduction: Environmental impact prediction is a crucial aspect of project planning, ensuring sustainable development in the Philippines. This report focuses on the utilization of GIS (Geographic Information System) as a powerful tool and the associated processes in the local context. GIS in Environmental Impact Prediction: In the Philippines, GIS serves as an invaluable tool for predicting and assessing environmental impacts associated with projects like the installation of Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs). The process involves combining spatial data with analytical tools to comprehensively evaluate the environmental context. Process: Combining Spatial Data with Analytical Tools Spatial Data Integration: Land Use: GIS integrates data on land use, distinguishing between agricultural areas, residential zones, and ecologically sensitive regions. Topography: The topographic features are considered, identifying elevati
