ABSTRACT

Since the reform and opening-up, China has earned obvious economic progress. Particularly after entering the 21st century, with transformation in society every day, great changes have happened to people's living standards and lifestyles driven by economy, science and technology. However, a corn has two sides. The economic development depends on natural environment and at the same time may cause great damage to natural environment. Therefore, to maintain social stability and implement the important concept of sustainable development in China, China has attached great importance to environmental protection in the process of economic development, and improved the ecological environment by means of GIS technology to a large degree. Thus, it is very necessary to conduct in-depth research on this technology to strengthen China's achievements in environmental protection. This paper has firstly elaborated GIS technology and environmental science respectively, and then analyzed the application of the technology in environmental science in the hope of helping environmental improvement.
