“…Level of development, development coordination extent and development potential were among the indicators used in urban sustainable development. In order to strengthen the sustainable development research, Cardoso de Lima et al. (2018) introduced social and environmental indicators besides technical and economic indicators in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.…”

PurposeThis research aims to develop sustainable development scores at districts level based on weights of thirteen sub-indicators using a spatial information system.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical study was conducted at seven districts in the state of Terengganu Malaysia. The evaluation was implemented using a spatial information system combined with weights of sub-indicators that were computed from the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method.FindingsIn this study the sub-indicators layers overlaid into one raster layer to produce a sustainability development score from 1 to 3 for every district. The one raster layer shows that Marang district received the highest sustainable development score of 2.284. On the other hand, Kemaman district received the poorest sustainable development score of 1.686.Research limitations/implicationsIn this study the weights that obtained from the AHP method are verified and validated using a sensitivity analysis. The scores at districts level perhaps may not be accurate due to difficulties in differentiating the variability of indicators and sub-indicators. These are among the unsettled issues that could be explored as future research direction.Social implicationsThe results would have greatly benefited the policy makers and stakeholders, particularly in planning for future development without compromising the significance of environment, social and economic indicators.Originality/valueSustainable development is one of the key elements that needs to be considered seriously in assessing development of a country. The assessment may include proposing indices for environment, social, economic indicators and related sub-indicators of sustainable development. Instead of considering specific indices for indicators, this approach departs more formally from the concept of unweighted indices at country level.
