BIODIVERSITY EVALUATION INDEX CALCULATION

摘要

According to an embodiment, a biodiversity evaluation index calculation apparatus includes following units. The first calculation unit calculates, for each region, a vegetation/living-animal coefficient by referring to a vegetation database. The second calculation unit calculates, for each region, a biodiversity value based on a type of a reserve and the vegetation/living-animal coefficient by referring to a reserve geography database. The third calculation unit calculates, for each mine, a biodiversity evaluation, index by referring to a mine database which describes a position,, an output, a purity, and a mineral species for each -nine, the biodiversity evaluation index representing a mining impact on biodiversity.

1. A biodiversity evaluation index calculation apparatus comprising:
a first calculation unit configured to calculate, for each of a plurality of regions, a vegetation/living-animal coefficient by referring to a vegetation database which stores data about vegetation classifications, the vegetation/living-animal coefficient representing at least one of diversity of plant species and diversity of animal species; a second calculation unit configured to calculate, for each of the plurality of regions, a biodiversity value based on a type of a reserve and the vegetation/living-animal coefficient by referring to a reserve geography database which describes a type and a range for each of a plurality of reserves, the biodiversity value representing biodiversity richness; and a third calculation unit configured to calculate, for each of a plurality of mines, a biodiversity evaluation index by referring to a mine database which describes a position, an output, a purity, and a mineral species for each of the plurality of mines, the biodiversity evaluation index representing a mining impact on biodiversity, the third calculation unit calculating a mining impact range, which represents a range of an impact of mining on a peripheral environment, based on the output, the purity, and the mineral species, specifying one or more of regions included in the mining impact range out of the plurality of regions, and calculating the biodiversity evaluation index by adding biodiversity values of the one or more of regions.
