Documenting environmental conflicts will be a priority target fordocumenting localities, because those conflicts are critical events that makeintensive ‘place experiences’ of local residents. This study is to design anarrative structure for documenting conflicts in the process of TransmissionTowers Construction in Miryang. This study begins with analysing the characteristics of environmentalconflicts, and draws a conflicts documentation model including basic rules,narrative structure and development process. Basic rules are set up asmixed documentation of memory and evidence, application of ‘frame’, anddynamic description. Based on the rules, this study suggests a dynamic andopen narrative framework adopting the metadata model of ISO 23081. This model is applied to documenting Transmission Towers ConstructionConflicts in Mi-ryang. The full narrative and ‘frame’ of the conflicts are setafter analysing development and issues of the conflicts, stakeholder, andproperties of each conflict problem. Records descriptions are related to thecontext(each event occurred in the conflicting conditions, mandates, andstakeholder) descriptions to make multiple narratives in digital environments. Event description contains elements for articulating the ‘frame’ of each party of the conflict. The merits of this model are; i) to accumulate the adequate contextinformation systematically by adopting dynamic narrative model, and ii) toacquire the new items and connect them to related items easily andconsistently through multi-entity description. This documentation model ofenvironmental conflicts may support to shape the collective memory ofcommunity, and to achieve good governance by managing conflicts in theprocess of locating non-preferred facilities with due regard to values andperceptions of residents and communities.
