ABSTRACT

This study aimed to develop an ICT-based system that integrates digital technology forscoping, an initial step in environmental impact assessment (EIA), by leveraging the expertise andexperience of practitioners to enhance its effectiveness. Given the potential for technology-centricdesign to diverge from actual acceptance, this study analyzed practitioners’ satisfaction and opinionsquantitatively and qualitatively to determine system performance and directions for improvement. Surveys were conducted twice, before and after system improvement. Statistical analysis wasperformed on satisfaction items, and text mining and sentiment analysis were performed on openendedcomments. Results showed significant increases in satisfaction in categories such as “system service” and “effectiveness,” and the sentiment score improved by 55%, from 0.20 to 0.31. Qualitativeanalysis revealed an increase in more specific and practical opinions, with practitioners suggestingimprovements in areas such as clarity of evaluation criteria, data connectivity, user customization,and ongoing training. This study demonstrates the importance of designing a digital scoping systemthat reflects practitioner experience beyond technical functional development, and can serve asfundamental data for the future digital transformation of environmental impact assessment.
