Managing sensitive land effectively and promoting biodiversity plays an increasingly important role in protecting our climate, 环境, 和社会. 为此目的, planning authorities and 环境 asset management organisations have a significant role in ensuring that development proposals do not infringe on or cause harm to 环境s and wildlife, 同时也确保人们能够发展, 农场, 可持续地享受自然世界. 今天, 人工智能和数据科学的创新可以极大地提高规划决策的速度和质量, 帮助我们保护, 明智地利用和负责任地开发土地资产, 更环保、更经济可行的方法.
The ability to support development without the loss of biodiversity and damage to sensitive land is both 环境ly and socially imperative.
生物多样性丧失, 哪个既是气候变化的原因又是其结果, 正在以惊人的速度发生吗. 根据世界自然基金会2020年的最新报告, 全球哺乳动物的数量下降了68%, 鸟, 鱼, 爬行动物, 以及1970年以来两栖动物的数量. 生物多样性被破坏的最重要原因之一是土地利用的变化, 包括森林砍伐, 密集单一文化的存在, 和城市化.
此外, there is widespread evidence that the promotion of Green Health – which is people’s engagement with green space and nature – has invaluable physical, 精神, 以及社会福利.
今天, the organisations mainly responsible for protecting species and 环境ly sensitive land are planning and land management authorities. 他们决定如何开发什么土地，开发到什么程度. 他们面临着越来越具有挑战性的辨认任务, 收集, and managing huge swathes of information relating to complex planning applications as well as vitally sensitive land and biodiversity data to make efficient, 就可持续土地发展的审批作出有效和明智的决定. 然而, 目前，这些数据和信息被锁在孤岛中，嵌入在非结构化文档中, making it difficult to provide 环境 experts within authorities with access to the information that they need when they need it.
利用人工智能和数据科学从数据中获得有意义的见解
Planning decisions must consider all aspects of delicate ecosystems in the process of ensuring sustainable development but this is made challenging due to the diversity of wildlife and plant species in any given area. 规划部门也必须对土地使用做出这些决定，同时确保它们是及时的, 一致的, 和公平, 并为未来影响类似应用的决策创造先例.
Ensuring that these factors are taken into consideration for each application requires the collation and analysis of huge amounts of data, 通常来源于不同的来源, 不管是土地使用调查, 保护数据, 或者开发案例管理信息.
最重要的是, 这些数据通常没有集成, it is unstructured and in different formats (including deeds and historical registers) making it very difficult for planning officers to search easily and effectively for the information they need from regulatory data, 指导, 以及病例记录，以便及时做出明智的决定. 他们还需要掌握有关任何特定地区特定环境敏感性的所有信息, 例如，拟建地区是否为候鸟的繁殖地，或该地区是否有珍稀动植物.
在Informed Solutions，我们观察到了这些挑战 NatureScot, the lead public body responsible for advising Scottish Government Ministers on all matters relating to Scotland’s natural heritage. They have a specific responsibility for; promoting the sustainable use of that natural heritage; promoting sustainable economic growth; reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping Scotland to adapt to climate change.
我们的 与NatureScot合作 围绕着“城市科技挑战赛”来开发一种创新的首创, 云原生人工智能数字规划平台, 最近推出的 InformedDECISION©. 这个SaaS平台集成并利用了数字服务设计方面的先进技术, 映射, 数据分析, 地球观测(卫星)图像, and AI capabilities to enable 环境 experts at NatureScot to process and answer complex land management questions relating to development in Scotland’s rural areas.
该平台利用了我们在人工智能方面的专业知识, 分析, 数据统一, 结合创新技术，包括自然语言处理, 命名实体识别, 并提供丰富的位置智能, targeted information on 环境ly sensitive areas to land managers and planning decision makers as well as to the developers applying for planning permission.
现在，这个平台使NatureScot的规划人员能够更有效地制定土地使用决策, 发展与保护. 打破了数据孤岛，给数据带来了结构, planning officers also benefit from AI assisting them in providing them with relevant data based on previous case management scenarios. 这在整个规划生命周期中节省了高达50%的时间.
此外, 官员不仅可以对申请做出决定, but prospective applicants can use the platform to 理解 the potential impact their plans might have on local biodiversity before submitting applications. 在这方面使用数据科学可以更好, 通过将专家的时间集中在高价值上，使决策更加一致, 通过提供更好的复杂规划应用程序, 更快地获取信息, 以及通过消除不必要的应用程序.
不仅是为了一个更绿色的世界，也是为了一个更健康、更安全的世界.
We can see this innovative platform as an important example of how the merging of data unification and emerging technologies can generate value for planning authorities, 公民, 以及我们的环境. 同样的技术也可以应用于组织有义务管理的其他市场, 理解, 并理解不断增长的健康数据量和复杂性, 安全, 或安全相关职责.
在发展InformedDECISION©, our capability to unify and extract value from existing data sources without the need to upgrade the underlying systems or take a copy of the data dramatically reduces disruption of existing workflows, 尽量减少对基础设施的影响, 并确保效益可以很快实现. In hospital 环境s this could be applied to help triage patients more safely and quickly for example and make decisions on their care with greater levels of speed and accuracy.
公共部门在帮助我们所有人塑造经济可持续发展的未来方面发挥着巨大的影响力, 社会, 以及我们的环境. 在Informed Solutions, 我们的目的是通过帮助建立一个更具包容性的社会来创造经济和社会价值, 公平, 通过道德地使用技术和数据来保障社会安全, 通过投资数字技能. 这一目标促使我们致力于使我们的世界更清洁, 更环保的, 更安全的, 更具包容性, 更聪明的地方. 通过InformedDECISION©, we are excited by seeing how the power of data better use is helping toprotect biodiversity and sensitive land and how it is showcasing the art of the possible when it comes to how data science can extract insights that better inform decision making for some of our most pressing challenges we face today.
