Abstract
The study aimed to design and develop an intelligent knowledge-based system prototype which mimics the human domain experts’ knowledge that can be used by environmental impact assessment review committee (EIARC) members in the assessment and preparation of environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports for mountain resort projects. Specifically, the system aimed to strengthen and improve the implementation of EIA among mountain resort development projects through an objective, transparent and fast-paced evaluation of EIA documents. The knowledge-based system was developed using e2gRuleWriter to generate its knowledge base and e2gRuleEngine as expert system shell. The human domain experts were purposively selected as the source of knowledge of the system. Through knowledge engineering, the knowledge of the domain experts was captured and became the basis for the development of the expert system rules which were presented in production rules format to assess the project description and activities of mountain resort developments. The developed expert system rules were validated using resolution principle to ensure its correctness. The human domain experts further validated the developed expert system rules by confirming that the knowledge-based system produces correct recommendation.
