Role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Sustainability and Industrialization: A conceptual analysis

Abstract

In practice, industrialization and development are closely linked. The growth driven by industrialization has a detrimental impact on human and environmental health. The sustainability of the development is still questionable. We will not be able to treat the next generation fairly if we cannot achieve sustainable development. In order to make development sustainable, the idea of sustainable development is currently being emphasized. The current study aims to understand the connection between industrialization and sustainable development and explore the approaches to sustainable development. It turns out that the function of information and communication technology (ICT) in sustainable development can be a starting point in this direction. It is also exploring how numerous sustainable development techniques can be brought together using ICT for this use of systems analysis approach. This paper also sheds light on the question of whether industrialization and sustainable development can go together. A model will be built to show the role of ICT in predicting the environmental changes influenced by industrialization. This model will help in reducing the time gap between awareness and actual environmental damage.
