A new paradigm that is fast gaining ascendancy the world over is the concept of sustainable
development. Sustainable development in its simplest form advocates that the present generation develops
(manage) the available resources to achieve growth and social and economic well-being in such a manner that
will not jeopardize the chances of generation yet unborn in meeting their own needs. But then, how do w e attain
sustainable development? Well, this can be achieved through Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
Environmental Impact Assessment in turn can be done holistically only through the technique of Remote
Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information systems (GIS). This paper therefore discusses sustainable
development through environmental impact assessment; and the best approach to studying environmental
impact assessment in remote sensing and geographic information systems technique are also discussed.
Key words: Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System, Environmental Impacts Assessment, Sustainable Development, , ,
