Sumario: Today we experience in the world major global problems such as population growth, global warming, environmental pollution, social conflicts, resource reduction and loss of biodiversity. Their complexity and severity is increasing, posing a great challenge to the present and future of society. We need more comprehensive and sensitive approaches on how we design and manage our activities, approaches that consider the impacts of our actions and guide us to a more sustainable future. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use the geographic, geodesic and information technologies as their foundation. The GIS technology provides standards and workflows for organizations that want to improve their decision making as they pursue a diversity of projects and goals.
