Development of Information Visualization System for the Teshima Waste Treatment Project

- Construction of the Regional Information Platform to Promote Consensus Building-

Abstract

The Teshima Waste Disposal Project is a project to detoxify and recycle the wastes of the Teshima Incident, in which about 900,000 tons of industrial wastes including contaminated soil were illegally dumped in the western part of Teshima, Tonosho-cho, Kagawa Prefecture. Since the settlement of the pollution arbitration in 2000, the project was started with the idea of ”Co-creation” in which the local government and residents are involved as the main actors. In the progress of the project, we have built the local information platform to support the co-creation of residents and the local government by monitoring and sharing the progress of the project through visualization of quantitative data by 3D modeling. In this study, we introduce the specif-ic development specifications of the information visualization system as an example of the implementation of each function in the platform theory, with the aim of providing more practical support for the Teshima project.
