Title: Geoinformaticsbased applications for estimation of green energy potential as a sustainable energy source: Emphasis on climate resilient cities

Abstract

Climate resilient cities will be objectively developed for a sustainable and environmental-friendly life against unprecedented impacts of the climate change. The present study is focused on the determination of green energy potential to develop climate-smart cities based on suitability and useable aspect of natural energy as a sustainable energy source. These renewable energy sources are determined through spatial-based potential by following the integrative approach of Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing application as an applicable tool of geoinformatics for real-time visualization towards climate-smart and applicable decision making for urban development. Hence, these properties make geoinformatics a viable approach in the applications of green energy estimation for the development of climate resilient cities. Prospectively, this integrative based applications of geoinformatics with the additional consideration of related critical parameters can be a reliable approach for application in the determination of reliable and sustainable urban places for exploring the potential of these natural and sustainable sources of energy.
