A Study on the Interrelationship between Information System Construction and Sustainable Development

Abstract

Against the backdrop of a steadily deepening global commitment to sustainable development, information system construction—as a core driver of socioeconomic progress—has become increasingly intertwined with sustainability goals. This paper focuses on the interactive relationship between information system construction and sustainable development, analyzing the pathways through which information systems contribute to sustainability processes, as well as the new requirements that the sustainability paradigm imposes on information system construction. By examining practical applications of information systems in areas such as efficient resource allocation, environmental regulation and governance, and the coordination of social equity, the study identifies current problems and challenges that arise when information system construction serves sustainable development, and proposes targeted optimization pathways. The findings indicate that deep integration between information system construction and sustainable development is a key initiative for achieving coordinated advancement across the economy, society, and the environment. Looking ahead, it will be essential to strengthen technological innovation, improve institutional systems, and enhance public participation to foster a virtuous cycle of mutual reinforcement between the two.
