Sommario/riassunto |
|
Spatial data, also known as geospatial data or geographic information, identifies the geographic location of natural and constructed features and boundaries on Earth, and has become increasingly important in various administrative practices. In order to facilitate access, use, and sharing of spatial data among organisations, information is brought together in clustered initiatives known as Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIS). In this book, Ezra Dessers introduces spatial enablement as a key concept to describe the realisation of SDI objectives in the context of individual public sector processes. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book offers a detailed analysis of the intersection of sustainability, innovation, and global progress, and it comprehensively explores sustainable practices and their impact on business, education, and technology. The book shows how businesses can incorporate sustainability into their core operations, including environment-friendly supply chains, renewable energy adoption, circular economy models, ethical decision-making, and sustainable growth strategies. Successful sustainable businesses and the benefits of their socially responsible practices are highlighted. In addition, the book explores how education can shape a sustainable future. It is necessary to integrate the ideas of sustainability into the curricula of early childhood education to higher learning institutions to educate and empower the next generation of changemakers. The role of technology in advancing sustainability efforts is also investigated, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, clean energy solutions, green architecture, and smart cities. Other topics explored in the book include global sustainability efforts such as international collaborations, public-private partnerships, and multilateral initiatives; the role of governments, NGOs, and international organizations in promoting sustainable development; ethical considerations and social impacts of sustainable practices, for example, social justice, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship; connections between sustainable development and improved quality of life; and groundbreaking ideas and innovations for industries to tackle sustainability issues. The book offers a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective on sustainability. By combining different viewpoints, the book empowers readers with the knowledge and inspiration to contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient world. |
