Full Description
This unique book investigates the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through geospatial information lenses, making the case that geospatial information is central to the SDGs and is imperative to understand the place, location, communities, and the people to identify where the root of the problem lies. Combined with other layers of information, it supports advanced analysis and visualizations and explains how SDG indicators can be interpreted and measured either through direct use of geospatial data itself or through integration with other statistical data. International case studies and coverage of all the SDGs help users evaluate impacts and monitor progress to achieve the SDGs.
Features
Demonstrates how geospatial information can be used to assess SDG targets and indicators.
Provides 16 applications and real-world case studies of SDGs and their related indicators where geospatial information contributes significantly to the implementation and monitoring.
Addresses practical and technological issues related to geospatial information, data acquisition, and integration approaches.
Illustrates the integration of geospatial information with statistical and other development information
Discusses the impact that applications have on policy and society to make informed decisions and implement better policies.
This book is for professionals, researchers, senior undergraduates and graduate students, working on or studying projects focused on specific GIS applications in support of sustainable development. It is also an excellent resource for policymakers and NGOs involved with UN SDGs.
