Regional Sustainable Development Based On GIS: A Case Study Of Henan Province

The thesis describes the contents and features of the system of regional sustainable development by the view of Systematics, suggests that the sustainable development is decided by the model of economic development. Development is the core of sustainable development, and nowadays, the interaction of informationalization and industrialization is a sustainable model for economic development in China.The thesis summarizes the development of techniques such as GIS, Geo-informatic Tupu, Time series, Data mining and Knowledge discovery(KD), their methods and application on the study of regional sustainable development. With the help of classification model for developmental stage, the thesis evaluates the developmental stage of Henan economy. Some analysis on the periodical features of economic development in Henan province by way of time series analysis are also made and the development trend of Henan economy is predicted. By combining the thematic information and GIS technique, the thesis analyses the spatial difference of economic development in Henan and the Tupu features of urban system of Henan province. An evaluating index system on regional sustainable development of Henan is constructed and the sustainability of economic development of Henan is evaluated based on the system.The thesis suggests that the GIS technique achieves the visualization of data analysis with the advantages such as spatial accuracy and timed data renewing, since GIS is feasible to simultaneously monitor the dynamic development of regional economy, it can play a key role in regional study and governmental decision-making. Digitalization is the only way for a region to complete the informationalization, and the concept of digital region has met the demand of management and decision-making in information age.The thesis also promotes the overall train of thought for the construction of spatial information infrastructure of Henan province and the application fields of these infrastructures, the designation and realization of decision support system(DSS) for the regional sustainable development are also discussed in the thesis.
