Environmental-ecological Analysis (SYStem)(EASYS) for Urban Planning

Abstract

There are efforts to construct a U-Eco City in Korea that combines aspects of a ubiquitous city with an eco-city. One of the important services offered in a U-Eco City is the ability to calculate carrying capacity to ascertain the level of development that can be maintained under environmental standards. Therefore, the Environmental-ecological Analysis System (EASYS) was developed in this study to promote more efficient environmental assessment and urban management. This system can monitor environmental conditions, assess ecological value, and calculate carrying capacity. The results can be used as a guideline to realize environment-friendly development.
