Appraising Biodiversity in Supportive Progress using GIS means

Biodiversity (BD), Sustainable Development (SD) & Remote Sensing (RS) are considered nowadays issues. The necessity of progressive matters is raised. Few academic literature exists on how to operate this arena in socio-economic bio-geography. This book provides an exciting approach of Composite Appraising Supportive Progress (CASP) connecting SD & BD using GIS. 12 Sustainability Indices, as Eco Footprint (EF); Human Development (HDI); Well Being (WBI); GDP; Genuine-Savings (GS); Sustainability (SI); Environmental (ESI); Economic Welfare (ISEW); Performance (SPI); Society (SSI); Composite SD (CSDI) are reviewed. A new approach to CSDI is proffered as Composite Appraisal of Supportive Progress (CASP) on 3 keys, Society by Citizens, Space Science & Transport; Economics by Production-Consumption, Agriculture, Industry & Tourism; and Environment by Genes, Species, Ecosystems & Functions; with their procedures as composite indicators. The entire book brightens the world's economics with concept of biodiversity by using RS. This book, which is small encyclopedia in nowadays improvements, is proposed for scientists, students & every person to enlarge views in CASP through Space Science.
