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.
*IMPORTANT DATES:*
- Deadline to submit papers: October 22, 2021 (no later than
midnight
EST).
- Author notification of paper acceptance: November 8, 2021 (no
