It is one of the most important and effective approaches in the researches on sustainable development to integrate social sciences with natural sciences and technology. In this paper
regional sustainable development indicators and spatial information technology applications in regional sustainable development management were discussed
and a Sustainable Development Evaluation Information System (SDEIS) was designed based on Geographical Information System (GIS). The SDEIS
with the integration of techniques such as object
o
riented and component software
distributed database
Web GIS
etc.
is composed of sustainable development evaluation models and knowledge
and Internet
b
ased information sharing and service system. The system was developed by mainly using VB and VBA programming languages
in which sustainable development basic database was established based on Microsoft Access
indicators were calculated based on Excel and by using OLE Automation technique
regional resources and environmental situation were introduced through Web GIS
and Microsoft ASP (Active Server Pages) was used to produce homepages. With the capacity of managing large amount of data in attribute database
graphical database and image database and processing data by using models
the SDEIS system can be used to carry out regional sustainable development evaluation and implement information sharing.\;A pilot study was initiated in Panzhihua City
Sichuan Province
China. The Panzhihua Sustainable Development Indicator System (PSDIS) and the Panzhihua SDEIS (PSDEIS) were established. The PSDIS includes core indicators (social and economic indicators
resources indicators and environmental indicators) and reference indicators
which were used to identify the sustainable development status in the region. The PSDEIS
characterized by open
Internet
b
ased
and integrating the basic database development
indicators calculation and visualization
automatic report and spatial query
is a very useful and convenient tool for regional sustainable development evaluating
planning and decision making and public participating.
