One of the barriers that are recognized based on the sustainable development of the territories is related to the lack of information. This research aims to design a Geographic Information System for information management of Renewable Energy Sources (FRE), which improve its quality, energy efficiency and enhance the diversification of generation sources in the province of Manabí, Ecuador. Following a documentary and applied research, the proposed system will be shown through a GeoWeb where it is intended to replace the manual way of updating information regarding FRE, conventional energy sources and renewable potentials by an automated system, with greater consistency and facilitating the handling and access to information quickly and safely; In addition to making viable the decision-making and the conception of strategies, with an integrating vision that allows to move from the current energy model that is based on fossil fuels to an energy-sustainable one.

Geographic Information System for Sustainable Energy Development (SIGDES). It is the system which contains geo-referenced data that leads to the knowledge about several potentials of renewable energy sources in the province of Manabí. The objective of providing this information is proposed in a system that promotes the educational research and projects for business development with a territorial vision of sustainability that can make possible the change of energy matrix. The system allows the user to use the information contained in the database, focusing on the solution of energy problems in the community and leads to local sustainable development.

(1) Background: This article aims to answer the question of whether the Republic of Poland, by stipulating in the Constitution of 1997 the principle of sustainable development and ecological security, has created favourable conditions for the development of renewable energy. (2) Methods: The research is conducted using descriptive methods and—due to the legal nature of the publication and the crucial role played by the dogmatic method—it consists of the interpretation of legal acts and court decisions. (3) Results: Over the last few years, state authorities have introduced a number of regulatory and legal mechanisms to increase the stability of the operation of renewable energy sources, including the development of biomass or geothermal energy, as well as the development of energy clusters and cooperatives. This article characterises specific solutions and assesses their effectiveness. (4) Conclusions: The state authorities should take further specific actions aimed at achieving the sustainable development of the renewable energy sector in Poland. These actions should be primarily aimed at the use of huge resources of renewable energy sources, saving the consumption of energy resources, reducing the demand for final energy, gradually converting electricity production from coal to renewable energy sources (RES), and moving away from fossil fuels for heat production in favour of RES.

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas meet most of the energy needs of people, but fossil fuels are unsustainable. The use of fossil fuels is one of the main causes of climate change and it has a serious impact on human health. In addition, these fuels are depleting, so the research and use of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal or biomass is a necessity. In this paper, we mention some of the main reasons for promoting the development of renewable energy, the potential and the reality of renewable energy exploitation in Vietnam. In addition, we also outline the main reasons that hinder the development and exploitation of renewable energy sources in Vietnam.

Sustainable development is one of the three main objectives of geoparks. As China has the largest number of global Geoparks, it is of increasing importance for us. The involvement and support of the local community are indispensable to the sustainable development of the Park. But how to achieve the goal in the network age is a big problem. Taking the practice of Mt. Sanqingshan Geopark in recent years as an example, the paper explores the involvement into the Park construction and management by the local residents in different ways, especially through the modern information technology, such as tourism geographic information system (TGIS), in order to share the fruits of Park development, and achieve the sustainable development of the Geoark.

This work aims to create a decision support and geographic information system aimed at optimizing the management of forest capital in the Adrar region. Through this awareness, we question the place of geographic information in the dialogue process and the approach to sustainable development. Cadastral data, satellite images, cartographic and photographic data will be presented. Data processing and data integration will be discussed. The expected results must provide knowledge beyond reach without these tools. They clarify the importance of satellite images and the spatial component of geographic information. In the current context of sustainable development, geographic information appears necessary for decision-making.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Since UN announced 17 SDGs in 2015, many countries around the world have been endeavouring to promote SDGs towards building a sustainable future. Given the disparity of the regional development, national government is suggested to establish localised sustainable vision. Drawing on UN SDGs with targets and corresponding indicators, meanwhile considering local circumstances and sustainable vision, government further seeks to establish localised SDGs with related targets and indicators. Meanwhile, under the digital era, digital technologies have been extensively employed as the smart tool in many fields nowadays, and Geographic Information System (GIS) has been developed as the platform to visualise the SDGs progress in UN and many countries. On the above basis, this paper further demonstrates Taiwan’s efforts to establish localised SDGs, and develop National Geographic Information System (NGIS) to implement the sustainable development in Taiwan, monitor the SDGs progress, and provide feedback to policymakers to further make strategic policies in a top-down approach, meanwhile develop Community Geographic Information System (CGIS) to encourage stakeholders and citizens to harness the concept of CGIS to proactively create and tell their own stories and promote Regional Revitalisation policy in a bottom-up approach. Moreover, GIS could not function well without appropriate data management including massive data and open data policy, well-built digital infrastructure, as well as the selected “right data” and cyber security. Hence, with appropriate data management, GIS as a smart tool could facilitate the promotion and implementation of SDGs in an intuitive manner towards shaping a smart and sustainable future.</p>
