「將」順其美
Introduction
The ESG criteria is usually required to assess long term sustainability of a company's performance, and it is sure that it can also be used to evaluate and improve living quality in a community. Through data collection and further analysis, potential risk can be identified and feasible solutions can be made for improvement.
In our study, we split our study areas into 3 different categories. E(environmental), S(social), G(governance).
E - Environmental: environmental data is collected by ourselves using different tools to analyse the environmental quality in TKO
S - Social: census data is acquired from CSDI to introduce the social context of TKO.
G - Governance: A survey is used to collect public information from citizens in TKO as a reference data for governmental and non-governmental organization.
Environmental
We used 3D models on top of the map function to accurately show building heights. Pairing the 3D models with the line of sight function, we were able to visualize air corridors through 7 lines of sight.
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
Line 5
Line 6
Line 7
When we apply the air pollution layer in the map, we can see the final overlay result of the air pollution of the area. Darker colors mean more pollution, lighter means less.
Conclusion
We can see the darkest colors are in the area around the MTR station and TKO Plaza. Lines of sight 5, 6, 7 pass through several buildings, including Bauhinia Garden, TKO Plaza. The building density in the area is very high, so the air flow in the city is blocked, preventing the pollutants from moving out of the city swiftly without obstruction.
Therefore, building density is strongly related to the amount of pollutants.
Social
Through using the web map function, we were able to visualize the data collected by the Common Spatial Data Infrastructure(CSDI) to make observations about the situation in Tseung Kwan O.
Governance

We decided to use a survey to study citizens' satisfaction of their living environment and explore any possible social impacts in the studying area--Tseung Kwan O, by using Survey123.
We have designed several questions about the living quality in Tseung Kwan O and compiled multiple pie charts which visualize the data collected from our survey from levels 1-5. (1=lowest, 5=highest)
The pie charts above are the results of each of the questions in our survey. The numbers of these pie charts will change whenever a new response is recorded. We believe the government can benefit from utilizing our data.
Conclusion
Assessing the situation through incorporating ESG principles in the development process can propel our city and help enhance its sustainability, resilience and more. Meanwhile, key issues in ESG — such as environmental protection, conservation, physical and mental wellbeing of citizens.
We have found in the data we collected and analyzed, that our study area of Tseung Kwan O is lacking in facilities under government authorities, especially wellbeing and medical facilities. However, there is a sufficient number of aided schools, and the overall satisfaction of living in the area as shown in the survey carry a positive trend.
