Colleagues,
Sustainability and IS: The Role of Location
The Special Interest Group on Geographic Information Systems
(SIGGIS) of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) invites
theoretical and empirical research papers focusing on, but not
limited to, digital innovation and its role for sustainability,
particularly the role of location, including the areas of
renewable energy, green IT and green IS, and case examples,
especially as they relate to research areas in Management
Information Systems.
Call for Papers
GIS can play a key role in improving sustainability by collecting
and managing data and analyzing these data integrated (or
overlaid) with other types of data, such as demographic data. For
example, GIS can improve supply chain logistics and transportation
management by identifying eco-routes and eco-efficient supply
chains. GIS can also serve as a common platform that integrates
people, processes, things, environments, and data about them and,
thereby, generate insights for sustainable development. Spatial
data comprise much of the data that organizations collect
(so-called big data). Thus, we posit that organizational adoption
of sustainability strategies necessitates models that incorporate
location data regarding environmental processes and impacts,
location information about causes and effects, and knowledge
sharing about what works, what does not, why, and where. We also
postulate that sustainability requires organizations to build up a
common platform to collect, analyze, and
share geo-referenced data on the environment.
Manuscripts are solicited focusing on conceptual model, theory,
methodology, applications, behavioral studies, and case studies
with regard to emerging opportunities and challenges for the role
of digital innovation associated with GIS for sustainability.
Manuscripts on a variety of topics related to the broader realm of
GIS applications in organizations and government, e.g., renewable
energy and green IT, and green IS, are welcome in the following
areas:
Potential topics (not limited to topics listed below):
* Emerging opportunities and issues for sustainability and digital
innovation
* Digital innovation with GIS for sustainability
* Location-aware IoT for sustainability
* Location-aware AI for sustainability
* Sustainability with spatial decision support
* Social media location analytics for sustainability
* Role of location for sustainability in the collaborative (or
sharing) economy
* Mobile-based location analytics and applications for
sustainability
* Use of GIS and location analytics for sustainability in
nonprofit organizations.
* Country-level studies for sustainability with the use of
location analytics and GIS.
* GIS and renewable energy development, use, and disposal
* GIS and sustainable economic development
* GIS and sustainable villages, cities, societies
* Green IS and the role of location
* Environmentally friendly IT and the role of location
Authors are encouraged to clearly identify and articulate the role
of location or place in the research questions.
