Applied Geography and Geoinformatics for Sustainable Development

This book compiles insights from a conference focused on using geography and geoinformatics to promote sustainable development globally and locally.

This volume presents the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference of Geography and Geoinformatics for Sustainable Development (ICGGS), held in Phuket, Thailand, on April 7-8, 2022. The collection emphasizes the critical role of spatial thinking and planning by integrating geography concepts with geospatial technology innovations to address pressing global challenges such as environmental degradation, urban pollution, and climate change.

The proceedings feature a variety of case studies that explore a wide range of spatial issues prevalent in developing countries. These studies highlight the difficulties of incorporating sustainable development paradigms into their economies, aiming to enhance natural resource management and environmental stewardship. By focusing on real-world applications, the volume aims to provide insights into effective strategies for sustainable development.

One of the primary objectives of Applied Geography and Geoinformatics for Sustainable Development is to facilitate the exchange of diverse perspectives regarding spatial issues at global, regional, and local levels. It discusses how geography and geoinformatics can be leveraged to build resilience across multiple sectors, including water management, ecosystem preservation, agriculture, and public health. This volume serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in exploring geospatial topics and initiating innovative research initiatives on regional and local scales.
