GIS for Sustainable Coastal Zone Management
support the integration of technology into local culture; making a commitment to
transfer of technology and; whether the technology is readily available under
conditions acceptable to the target individuals or groups (Commonwealth of Australia,
1991).
Technological tools such as GIS can help identify indicators, linkages and
indices for the managing coastal environments of the Pacific. This information will
form the backbone of the decision making process in implementing the Action Plan.
Given the reliance of the Pacific peoples on the coastal resources and considering the
size and isolation of the Pacific island countries, GIS plays a major role in ensuring its
sustainability.
