International audience The use of the remote sensing approaches for the analysis of the societies is one of the base fundamentals with the first applications in urban planning in 1856 on Paris. The questions of territorial and societal analysis, the building of socioeconomic geodatabases is considering since the 1960s as a strategic core for the States and enterprises giving advantages. The recent progress in geo-computing allows to be modelling at the large scales and different geographic levels the human and territorial dynamics combined with cultural and environmental data, and figure-out the possible futures. Several examples based on research conducted in Lithuania, the Siberian Arctic, and France will illustrate the advances and issues. Remote sensing for societal analysis and socioenvironmental management is one of the key-geoinformation approaches.
