This article presents a proposal of how to put in practice the concept of sustainable development - that as been strictly seeing in a theoretical point of view, as well a tribune speech and with very imprecise conceptual boundaries – supported by the use of Geographic Information System (GIS). The exercise mentioned here it’s only the technical part of a more extensive project, it could be resume in three steps: 1) research – definition and enlightening of sustainable development concept, indicators definition, determination of theorist and methodological frame. 2) practice – identification and acquisition of important information, editing and validating information, creating a GIS project, definition and construction of sustainable development indicators, adaptation and conception of geographic model. 3) Analysis – collect and interpretation of geographic model results by confronting it to some theories claimed by important researchers.
