Abstract

The study synthesizes a comprehensive approach to the Geoinformatic System for Civilization, in particular at global and national levels because the climate has no boundaries. The consideration begins with a reminder of two approaches in designing information systems; bottom-up and top-down. The first approach leads to information islands and the second is appropriate for geoinformatics. The Death Triangle of Civilizations was formed with three bombs; population, ecological and the depletion of strategic resources. Considerations are also given in relation to the number of spaces (D) in which the Geoinformatics Guidance System can be considered.
