This project is mainly for the maintenance and operation of the Illegal Dumping Management System (IDMS), using the remote sensing technology to analyze illegal dumping sites of high risk. This project can be divided into three parts, twenty-two items: updating system functions, monitoring illegal dumping through the use of remote sensing technology and tracking dumping cases, and providing executive supports. To update system functions, some new functions were added including the history of sites, data searching function, site list downloading and reviewing, information establishment and tracking function, and email notification services. This can improve local environmental agencies’ management autonomy and enhance administrator’s searching functions and help local environmental protection departments revise information through synchronous operation. The purpose is to make the IDMS more user-friendly and convenient. To carry out the monitoring of illegal dumping through remote sensing technology, classification and regression trees (CART) was used to do the analytical works. This project used CART to create space rules. By inspecting each rule through the use of dumping cases, a risk ranking map sheet in the scale of 1/5000 was therefore produced. Using Integrated Land Use Monitoring and satellite imagery of Google Earth, areas with high risks and great changes were detected, and five sites were chosen to practice aerial photography including Shicuoping, Shenkeng Village, Gangshantou, Shegu, and Houliao. Fifty-five skeptical sites were therefore found by using UVA image and satellite image time series. Types of dumped waste might be plastic, bags, sludge, mixed waste, and so on. Scoring system for filling in information was established for the very first time this year to help track dumping cases. This project helped local environmental protection departments fill in information, compile controlled cases, and track their progress on a regular basis for the reference of TEPA as a short-term outcome. Apart from maintaining the operation of IDMS, this project also helped TEPA hold all kinds of meetings and training programs.
