4. ANTICIPATED RESULTS OF INFORMATION
SHARING
It is anticipated that by sharing information in this way, various
bodies (governments, research institutes, private companies,
NPOs etc.) will be able to obtain information equally and there
will be increased opportunities to discuss problems or issues
arose.
At present, starting with the general environment of the coastal
zone, diversification of the evaluation of information sharing is
advancing and it has become a situation in which the previous
type of one-sided evaluations from businesses are not
acceptable. In other words, cooperation will occur due to
various bodies equally obtaining information and by firstly
drafting valid counter-measures and appropriate consensus
building, and the realization of counter-measures will become
possible.
From here on, management to ascertain how to reduce the
burden on the environment, the specifics of the past and current
environment in the coastal zone and to control the environment
is required for continuing work in Japan’s coastal areas. It is
necessary to promote the following approaches by using
standardization and the clearinghouse of environmental data for
that.
(1) Anytime and anywhere, the person who needs information
can obtain intelligence.
(2) The administrative body and the local populace use the
same information, and communications are activated.
(3) It works for the environmental service based on the accurate
intelligence.
Utilizing this structure will develop a situation in which
everyone can share environmental data and it is expected to be
able to qualitatively improve environmental improvement
technology and analysis techniques related to environmental
impact assessments which accompany the setting of
environmental improvement targets and work in response to the
conditions at the time.
In order to share environmental data that “everyone” can
“easily” utilize, it is necessary for as many bodies as possible to
understand the initiative and participation.
At present this information sharing structure is also being used
for the Japanese enclosed coastal areas of Osaka Bay, Ise Bay,
the Seto Inland Sea as well as Tokyo Bay.
Furthermore, as this kind of environmental data sharing
structure can also be utilized for the environmental data of land
areas in addition to coastal areas, from hereon we also think that
by understanding this environmental data sharing structure and
widely disseminating it, many researchers will contribute to the
implementation of sustainable national land improvement.
