Project Title: Research on the Construction Pattern of Sustainable-City-Oriented Spatial Information Systems

Project Type: Knowledge Innovation Project of The Chinese Academy of Sciences

Project  Awardee: Zhao Xiaofeng

Project Abstract: Spatial information systems have been used widely in the construction of Digital City. Yet current spatial information systems mainly aim at improving the efficiency of urban administration and dailylife, sustainablity is acutually not the focus. To help cities develop in a both efficient and sustainable way, sustainable-sity-oriented spatial information systems should be studied. This project will first review the applications of spatial information technologies on urban sustainablity research. Secondly, an investigation on the theoritical frameworks of both Sustainable City and Digital City will be carried out. Then, a conceptual model of Integrated Management Information System for Sustainable City will be constructed, and subsequently a theoretical framework of Sustainable-Development-Oriented Digital City will be put forward. In the end, an applicable experiment will be implemented, Xiamen as an example.
