Abstract

Due to the importance of development and its impact on our life, in this paper we are going to elaborate on the Sustainable Development and its related issues. In the following, due to the essential role that GIScience can play on the success trend of Sustainable Development, GIScience will be defined and its importance will be discussed as an effective tool in its logical procedure of Sustainable Development. The decision making support systems—using Geo-information and spatial data—is merging increasingly into other disciplines design and techniques day by day. So It would be worth investigation on the technical aspects of sustainable development and its consideration in projects development in general, throughout the literature review and SD requirements. The successful sustained achievement will depend on clear “political” answerability for its reliability and local regulatory environment. It should be in harmony with the additional superior prescription and ruling at the national or international levels by the use and utilization of national spatial data infrastructure. The paper will ends up with a set of suggested practices in the development of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI).

Highlights

  • Due to the essential role that GIScience can play on the success trend of Sustainable Development, GIScience will be defined and its importance will be discussed as an effective tool in its logical procedure of Sustainable Development

  • In old ages and past centuries, the population of the world, the level of technology, and their environmental impact were all small and there existed damages caused by human activities, but they could be corrected in time, often by mother of nature or it was negligible, non-critical and not so dangerous

  • The GISceince can be utilized for providing sustainable development for modern societies which should use the latest advanced technologies to serve their nation appropriately

Summary

Introduction

In old ages and past centuries, the population of the world, the level of technology, and their environmental impact were all small and there existed damages caused by human activities, but they could be corrected in time, often by mother of nature or it was negligible, non-critical and not so dangerous. These issues have to be precisely considered on decision making to guaranty its sustainable development These principles are [1]: − Equity: The concerns for poor and disadvantaged; − Futurity: The concern for future generation; − Environment: The concern for the integrity of the eco-systems; − Public participation: the concern that individual should have the opportunity to effect in decisions that may have consequences on their society; With reference to the above mentioned principles, we are going to analyze different aspects of sustainable development and one of the tools for its evaluation “GIScience (Geo-information Science)”. It is a tool to provide spatial information required for sustainable development as a decision making support system, and is used as an assessment tool for spatio-temporal analysis that sustainability is being realized during the pre-specified time span for target society [6]
