This study aims to create an integrated geographical information system (GIS) database of natural resources represented by mining activities in the Red Sea area in Sudan. GIS is a vital tool to help the decision-makers in managing and classifying these resources in terms of quantity and quality within the concept of sustainable development. The paper extracts some models of investment map indicators. In addition to that, it conducts a study and research aimed at developing a mineral resources management and discovering and identifying the new areas of mineral wealth in GIS database. The motivation of this study stems from the fact that countries with these types of wealth can greatly grow their gross domestic product (GDP) through the optimum management and governance. Most of the least development countries (LDC) can focus on the search for alternative natural resources (beside other conventional resources, i.e., agriculture) to support their economy. Red Sea region is one of the great regions full of natural and mineral resources (specifically gold and minerals), beside its strategic location on the way of most of the global trade transaction path. This paper designs and implements GIS multiple database layers. The multiple layers were modelled to overcome the technical difficulties that result from processing of large quantities of tempospatial information. The database was built by using an Oracle database system due to its capability of multilayer design.

Extension professionals face challenges in quantifying the impact of their efforts in advancing the decision-making process inherent in setting natural resources policy. We developed a flexible tool that measures the impact of improving decision makers’ planning efforts. The tool consists of two sets of survey questions that can be modified to fit an Extension program’s goals. We illustrated how to use the tool by surveying leaders working with private forest owners to advance natural resources management. However, the tool can be of use to Extension professionals across various program areas.

The mineral and raw-material potential is the basis for stable and balanced development of modern economy in case of its rational and complex use across the whole spectrum of natural resources. There has been considered the existing system of the subsoil resources management at the federal and regional level, in terms of interaction in solving the problems of accounting and information support for widespread minerals.As a methodological base of research there come out the methods of structural analysis and design in IDEF0 notation using Ramus software product. Using the context diagram of the functional process model of subsoil resources management there have been determined the place and role of territorial geoinformation analytical system of geological-economic monitoring in the management structure of state-owned subsoil Fund. Subsequent decomposition of the process control allowed to itemize the powers of the authorities of the Fund in the framework of geoinformation analytical system of natural resources management. Finally, it has been inferred that for the solution of problems of interaction of federal and regional authorities in the sphere of mineral resources it is necessary to create a territorial geo-information system of geological and economic monitoring hierarchical multilevel structure aiming the interaction of various authorities and subsoil users to increase the efficiency of mineral raw material complex management, which will contribute to: streamlining the system of data exchange; forming a unified methodological base on geologic and economical information of legal and regulatory acts and standards, formation of the regional cluster economic structures built subject to the available natural and mineral potentials, which are the locomotives of development of regional economy.

According to the legal norms of the Russian Federation in the ownership, usage and disposal of natural resources the author analyses interaction between natural resources users and local authorities. The interaction is based upon ecological and economic factors, which cause the peculiarities of requirements put before natural resource users in the Far North. The strategic directions of resource saving economic development of these regions are considered.
