         [0035]    By using the inventory information shown above, users can keep abreast of completed and ongoing tasks of inventory/investigation. Moreover, the completion rate provided by the system allows users to learn the overall status immediately, which makes the work and process mentioned below easier to implement. 
         [0036]    As step S 21  shown in  FIG. 2 , providing an application to the mobile  2  (illustrated in  FIG. 1 ), the application can be installed in the mobile device  2  to provide an interface of the diagram outputting system of the factory location evaluation to the user. Step S 22  shows that after the application has been initiated by a user for site investigation, the application will return GPS location information and site investigation information in real time. In another words, when the user uses the mobile device  2  to conduct site investigation and sampling operation, after the user enters observation information or site investigation information (e.g. sampling information, visual information, measuring information, picture, etc.) into the mobile device  2 , the mobile device  2  will immediately return current GPS location information, observations information or site investigation information to the environmental assessment statistics server  1  via Internet or mobile network. 
         [0037]    In one embodiment, the environmental assessment statistics server  1  provides one or more webpages for entering investigation information and GPS location information, such that the user can input investigation information and GPS location information through a browser of the mobile device  2 . In one embodiment, the webpages comprise a GPS location inputting webpage for entering GPS location information, and an investigation information inputting webpage for entering investigation information. After entering the data, the mobile device  2  then delivers the information to the environmental assessment statistics server  1  via Internet or mobile network. The GPS location inputting webpage comprises a digital map to show the user his location. After identification, the mobile device  2  delivers the GPS location information to a remote site. In the present invention, the investigation information comprises one or more information on site investigation, soil sampling, underground water sampling and waste sampling. 
         [0038]    Step S 23  shows that the environmental assessment statistics server  1  relates the investigation information to a specific region based on the GPS location information and coverage region information, wherein the coverage region information records the coverage of a specific region on a map. That is, the environmental assessment statistics server  1  comprises a digital map, wherein the source of the map comes from Internet or local network, or information stored in the storage device thereof. The coverage region information also records usage of a specific region in this digital map (e.g. recording the region which has been used as a factory). Accordingly, after combining the digital map with the coverage region information, the environmental assessment statistics server  1  can calculate and provide information on the usage of a specific region in the digital map. For example, assuming that the specific region is a region of abandoned factory, high-risk contamination areas thereof can be found by combining the digital map with the coverage region information. After that, the environmental assessment statistics server  1  relates all investigation information to the digital map with the coverage region information based on the GPS location information and the investigation information provided by the mobile device  2 , such that the environmental assessment statistics server  1  can proceed with the calculation, statistics and analysis based on the GPS location information, investigation information and coverage region information to output a factory location evaluation information to terminal computers  31  and  32 . 
         [0039]    Step S 24  shows that the factory location evaluation information is a boundary plan of site investigation. The environmental assessment statistics server  1  draws boundary lines of the coverage region and marks the site investigation information to the coverage region based on the GPS location information by overlapping layers. As shown in  FIG. 3 , which is an aerial image illustrating the boundary plan of site investigation in one embodiment, digital map  4  is marked with the coverage region information  41  (the region drawn in dotted lines) and the actual coverage region information  42  (the region drawn in solid line) by overlapping layers, wherein the coverage region information  41  indicates these regions with specific purposes in the digital map  4 , e.g. these regions have been used for factories. The actual coverage region information  42  indicates detailed usage and scope thereof regarding coverage region information  41 , e.g. indicating the boundary of the buildings. As a result, the specific purpose and detailed usage of these regions are shown clearly on the digital map  4 , such that the user can quickly obtain comprehensive information by viewing the terminal computers  31  and  32 . 
         [0040]    After marking the coverage region information  41  and the actual coverage region information  42  to the digital map  4  by overlapping layers, the environmental assessment statistics server  1  then marks the investigation information into the digital map  4  by using the GPS location information thereof obtained from the mobile device  2 . For example, triangle icons indicate investigation information of soil sample, circle icons indicate investigation information of underground water sample, and square icons indicate investigation information of waste sample. The numbers next to these icons represent sampling numbers or investigation numbers. Furthermore, the digital map also shows layers&#39; content, legend, scale, compass, remarks, etc, in order to fully illustrate all relevant information, such that the achievement in every stage of the evaluation process can be clearly revealed. The coverage region information  41  and the actual coverage region information  42  can be configured through an application installed in the mobile device  2 , such that the investigator can modify the coverage region information  41  and the actual coverage region information  42  based on site conditions. 
         [0041]    In addition, when a user views this digital map with the terminal computer  31  or  32 , detailed information regarding investigation can be seen by clicking on these icons (e.g. triangle icons, circle icons and square icons), such as investigators list, information of investigators, information of investigation tools, records of soil sampling, records of underground water sampling, records of waste sampling, basic information of observation wells, other matters, confirm lists, etc. 
         [0042]    Therefore, by using the system and method of analyzing and outputting a diagram of factory location evaluation mentioned above, the environmental assessment statistics server can immediately calculate and output investigation scope with detailed information after receiving investigation information from the mobile device, such that the backend staffs can obtain aforesaid scope and information without any delay. In another words, the present invention combines the mobile device with the environmental assessment statistics server to provide real-time investigation scope and information that is easy to understand, such that the whole and individual factory location evaluation can be quickly obtained. 
         [0043]    The embodiments depicted above and the appended drawings are exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All modifications or alterations that have equivalent functions and are made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention fall within the scope of the appended claims.
