Abstract

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a tool for preventing environmental pollution from a proposed construction project. EMP development requires specialized construction site data and information from multiple sources. Recently, knowledge-based system (KBS) has been used extensively in the environmental field, especially in cases where human expertise and data are limited. In this study, a KBS computer application was developed to guide the application of EMP for housing and new township development projects in Malaysia. This system, called River Pollution Prevention Plan during Construction Activity- Environmental Management Plan, or "RP3CA-EMP" was developed in the Microsoft Visual Basic environment. RP3CA-EMP predicts the impacts of housing and new township development projects on surface water and details necessary mitigation measures. Additionally, RP3CA-EMP is an educational tool for individual developing EMP for housing and new township development projects.
