Environmental Survey and Environmental Impact Assessment

Conservation of the natural environment is a common issue for everybody who lives in our times. The history of PREC Institute is that of efforts and contribution to sound development and environmental conservation as a coordinator specialized in environmental issues.

Assessment of impacts upon the natural environment and visual landscapes has been the major stage of our professional services which have been provided at various levels from development of practical methods to drafting of administrative procedures. Having been working as a pioneer since the very early stage, we are proud of our highly reputed skills and experiences of environmental consultation. The professional knowledge and skills of our staff researchers are the precious resources supporting professional services of PREC Institute.

Environmentally Sustainable Design and Planning

Correct understanding of nature, co-existence with nature, and creation of a comfortable environment with a full expression of nature's potential are what we pursue in our planning process. The abundant professional experience of PREC Institute in this field includes master plans for city development, planning and designing of parks and open spaces of various scales, planning of biotopes/natural ecosystems in urban areas, and designing of architectural structures that sustain coexistence with the natural environment.

In addition, we are moving into new stages for our professional services in various areas of built and natural environments: greening of roads, disaster prevention, and preservation and utilization of historical resources such as cultural properties, historic sites and natural monuments.
