摘要

Sustainable development (SD) planning is of paramount importance and necessary at both global and local aspects. Ithas to be analysed and valued basically on a general valuation of environmental and socio - economic sides with institutionalaspect. Human beings (putting people at the centre of development) play an important role in SD, as the goal of the sustainable development strategy (SDS) is developmental well being of the society. Vietnam is a poor and developing country, so insufficient and less scientific basis to define SD at all levels and in particular at local level. We do need strong enough instruments as a decision making for SD. Nowadays, Geographical Information System (GIS) is a powerful tool for studying and analyzing space and decision making.
