- Abstract
During recent decades the stirring up of the processes of globalization, practically in all spheres of present day civilization, has aggravated and brought numerous problems resulting from nature-society interactions. To overcome these problems, it is necessary to develop and adopt new concepts and techniques to study and evaluate the changes occurring on the earth ecosystem. For this, application of information technology via Environmental Information Systems is the best option. Much more, understanding this complexity through interactive applications will develop new strategies and ideas to manage and protect ecosystem. This paper deals with new and interactive approach to process, analysis and synthesis of environmental systems using various models and IT applications, so we could underline that environmental science and technology are therefore a vital component of productive knowledge and thus a high priority for the mankind sustainable fraternity with nature. Since years, environmental scientists and computer experts are working on different and innovative computer based modeling techniques to study the environmental problematic and hazards system and to provide the maximum accuracy in decision making or in elaborating sustainable strategies of community development. This kind of innovative techniques, some of them exemplified in the present paper (GeoGebra, AutoCAD, G.S. Surfer, ArcView GIS), can become the answer to question in those cases where the early warning, maximum accuracy in prediction and emergency is taken in account.
