Abstract

Strong impact of natural disasters and global change as well as the consequences of unsustainable economic and social development caused environmental hazards threatening lives and properties of people. In that situation, the demand for information about the state of the environment is essential to provide a scientific basis to support the management in prevention and mitigation adverse impacts of environmental hazards. To solve these problems, environmental sensitivity index and total environmental sensitive index was a base for building the map systems of environmental sensitivity consistently with remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS). In which, remote sensing technology was used to establish eco-map applications from remote sensing imagery. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology was used to create standard maps and database of environment al issues with the participation of environmental experts, applying AHP analysis method. The obtained national environmental sensitive database will support the government in environmental management, help preventing and mitigating adverse impacts of environmental hazards ensuring economic, social and environment development towards a more sustainable future.
