The natural resources of a country are the foundation for its economic and social growth. Natural resources are vital to a country's economy because they generate wealth and jobs, supply crucial materials for manufacturing, feed and power the population, and heal and cure the sick. Overexploitation causes resource exhaustion because of population growth. The depletion of natural resources has had a domino effect, driving up prices, altering weather patterns, and eroding the economic, social, and cultural gains made possible by those resources' earlier exploitation. Nations must learn to use these resources sustainably if they want current and future generations to reap the advantages. Due to the importance of properly managing these sensitive resources in light of recent developments in information technology, natural resource managers have placed a strong emphasis on remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) technologies. Managers now have a solid foundation upon which to build data and knowledge that will guide sustainable development decisions thanks to these technologies. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the use of GIS and Remote Sensing in the context of managing land resources and promoting long-term sustainability.
