The Three SDs
❚ Sustainable Development (SDv)❙ A New World Paradigm
❚ Spiral Dynamics (SDy)❙ A Model of Human
Values/Development❚ Spatial Data (SDa)
❙ A Basis for Information Integration❚ How the three mutually interact

Sustainable Development (SDv)
❚ What it is:❙ A way to ensure health, integrity, prosperity, and
well-being - now and into the future for all livingand non-living systems
❙ Applied on personal, domestic, institutional, socialand local to global geographical levels
❚ What it does:❙ Compels people and institutions to consider their
needs and actions in significantly broader framesof reference
❙ A basis for critically evaluating human activities inthe world

Sustainable Development (SDv)
❚ Need to consider specific approaches, indifferent operational contexts:❙ How we ‘think’ and what we ‘do’ are related.❙ “Development that meets the needs of the
present without sacrificing the ability for futuregenerations to meet their own needs”(Brundtland, 1987)
❚ Many conceptual and practicalchallenges❙ Different places, different circumstances - no
‘one-size’ fits all approach❙ Both proactive and reactive forces at work

Sustainable Development (SDv)
❚ Three Pillars (general consensus):❙ Economy, Society and Environment
❚ Two Current Polarities(general pattern):❙ Socio-Economic Focused❙ Environmental Focused❙ Few Frameworks Succeed in Combining
all three (effectively and equally)
Society Economy
Environment

Spiral Dynamics (SDy)
❚ What it is:❙ A Psycho-Social Model of Human Values❙ A Framework for Evaluating Human-
Environment Life Conditions and Circumstance❚ What it does:
❙ Provides a comprehensive map and taxonomyof human value spaces that can be appliedcross-culturally, and at different nested scales(macro-meso-micro memetics)
❙ Provides a basis for critical analysis to examineunderlying assumptions surrounding optionsand alternatives for change

Spatial Data (SDa)
❚ What it is:❙ Geographical-based information for integrating
social, cultural, economic, and environmentalinformation
❙ Data about the World and all of its complexities(from local to global scales)
❚ What it does:❙ Provides a basis to situate and integrate many
types of data and knowledge.❙ Allows greater flexibility of analysis of real-world
events, activities, and patterns of influence(beyond single-disciplinary frameworks)

How the Three SD’s Relate
❚ Sustainable Development (SDv)❙ Setting Goals and Agenda❙ Tells us ‘What’ needs to be done
❚ Spiral Dynamics (SDy)❙ Helps us understand the ‘who’ and ‘why’❙ Helps us understand ‘what next’❙ Meet people ‘IN THEIR OWN PLACE’
❚ Spatial Data (SDa)❙ Provides the data and information base
from which we assess life conditions, and❙ A basis for identifying options, alternatives,
and monitoring at the detail that is needed.

The Three SDI’s
❚ Spiral Dynamics Integral❙ how to ‘frame’ life conditions❙ their underlying causes❙ how conditions are ‘percieved’
❚ Sustainable DevelopmentIndicators❙ What is appropriate for different
locations and contexts❙ What to ‘do next’ (realistically)
❚ Spatial Data Infrastructure❙ tells us about life conditions (it
is primarily ‘sensory’)

The Integral Approach
❚ All Quadrants, All Levels, All Lines, and‘All Locations’ (AQAL3) Framework
❚ Epistemological-Ontological (phil.)❙ (1) what we know and (2) what we see❙ (1) + (2) = WorldViews/vMemes
❚ Three ways of knowing and seeing❙ Eye of Flesh (Sensory-Factual-Inductive)❙ Eye of Mind (Mental-Theoretical-Deductive)❙ Eye of Spirit (Contemplative-Reconciling)

SUMMARY
❚ Know ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘how’❚ Know ‘where’ - ?
❙ Requires Spatial Data Infrastuctures❚ Spatial Data Infrastructures:
❙ Provide basis to sense/know about people,places, things and events at all scales ofhuman-planet interaction (regardless ofpolitical, social, geographical location)
❙ Basis to ‘transcend’ ethno-political‘containment’
