Workshop on Sustainability and IS: The Role of Location
(in-Person and Virtual)
Keynote: "Sustainability, Maritime Informatics, and
Spatial-Temporal Analytics"

Sunday, December 12, 2021, 8:00am-1:00pm
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.
This workshop will include two parts: The first part will
introduce two presentations by the workshop organizers. One
presentation is about applying GIS to inform and model renewable
energy development, and the other is about the use of GIS for
sustainable economic development, for example, eradicating poverty
and child labor. It will also include a keynote talk by an
academic/industry leader, which highlights the opportunities and
challenges for sustainability and how digital innovation
associated with GIS can have a positive impact on sustainability.
In the second part of the workshop, contributed papers will be
presented on a variety of topics, some related to emerging
opportunities and issues with regard to GIS and sustainability and
others in the broader realm of GIS applications in organizations
and government.
