An Analysis of Sustainable Development in Dong Ha Town, Quang Tri Province, Vietnam

要旨

For each country, region or area, sustainable development (SD) planning is of paramount importance. Defining SD has both global and local aspects. SD is a core concept at the moment and also in the future. Development is largely dependent upon the natural resource base. The main point of view of SD is the integration of environmental, economic, societal and institutional aspects. In Vietnam, there is insufficient scientific basis to define SD and even inadequate basis to define it at the provincial and local level. Decision making for SD using GIS systems is poorly implemented. In view of the above , if SD is to be achieved, it will help and support SD and decision making process will be speedy and appropriate based on spatial and temporal information . This study discusses the case study of a GIS based SDI system for Dong Ha town in Quang Tri province.
