Book Description
About The Book

The present book entitled 'West Bengal: Geoinformatics for Sustainable Environment Management' is an attempt to cognize the inhabitants of the world to concern about their environment and its surrounds. This book is about the implications of GIS and Geoinformatics in different environmental issues which are the keys to mapping, evaluation and execution of different management issues of the diverse universe through a more scientific propensity. The diverse aspects of environmental management are yet to be debated and discussed and this should be envisioned towards understanding the present situation of different issues and create a global awareness. This book is the upshot of rigorous and incessant research works done by the contributors in their respective studies concerning fields of environ- mental issues to enhance management using GIS and geoinformatics as the key tool. The global environment is threatened by miscellaneous natural hazards and disasters. Further, anthropogenic interferences agitate the environment and accelerate degradation of such environment and make it vulnerable. The findings, analysis and recommendations made in these researches incorporated in the volumes may also be supportive to the researchers, environmentalist, scientists as well as policy makers in their initiative to frame strategies and introspect into the different ways of protecting the environment through a more sustainable approach.

Foreword

It is amazing how technology transformation has penetrated even the deep interiors of West Bengal during the last few decades. Let alone the revolution in information and communication technology, tractors have largely taken place of the traditional ploughs, bullock carts have nearly disappeared from our roads and earth movers and excavators do most of the jobs previously used to be done manually by labourers. From availability of app cabs to vastly improved street lighting - the pace of changes in the urban areas has not been less impressive.

With great socioeconomic ramifications, developments like these are not confined to our villages and cities alone, but are taking place on many levels up to the planetary scale. Altogether, they translate into things like rapid decline in primary vegetation, stockpile of plastics in the oceans, and acceleration in the rates of global warming. These are all irreversible in the foreseeable future and emphatically question the sustainability of the changes that we are seeing all around.

Geoinformatics has a key role to play in documenting and predicting impacts of the alterations in earth's physical and socioeconomic environment. Like most other spheres, the scope and ease-of-use of geoinformatics have undergone a sea change in the recent years.
