1. Project Overview Title Duration Organization ■ Development of a Prior Environmental Review Support System (PERSS) ■ May, 3, ~ December, 2, 2006 (7 Months) ■ Director : Ministry of Environment ■ Responsible Body : Korea Environment Institute, Pangaea 21 PERS : The Prior Environmental Review System (PERS) aims to balance development and preservation by identifying possible environmental impacts of development plans or projects in the early stages of planning. Unlike the current PERS, EIA mostly deals with large-scale development projects during the execution stage after plans have been approved and confirmed. The introduction of the PERS should remedy EIA limitation.

2. Project Objective ■Systematical management of PERS information - Share PERS information by implementation of PERS database, which enhance PERS efficiency and quickness - Link between PERS information and EIA information, - Prepare a foundation of regional cumulative Environmental Impact Assessment and Strategic Environmental Assessment ■Maintain consistency of a PER agreement opinion between Ministry of Environment and Regional Environmental Office - Eliminate inconsistency of a PER agreement opinion between Ministry of Environment and Regional Environmental Office through mutual information sharing via PERSS - Support PERS business process using information technology ■Maximize availability of existing environmental information - Set a basis of information exchange among responsible body - Curtail national budget and developer’s cost by environmental knowledge sharing - Link between development project site and the Environmental Assessment Map of Korea - 3 -
