GIS and Remote Sensing technology had been widely applied in Viet Nam. However, research orientation and development of Web GIS and Remote Sensing solutions for regional management approach also indicates many difficulties and challenges. This paper aims to introduce Web GIS and Remote sensing solutions that can be used in monitoring salinity intrusion and land cover mapping to support the implementation of sustainable development strategy of the Mekong Delta region. The experimental results show the online mapping applications based on Landsat images open a new way that can be effectively applied in monitoring salinity intrusion in river network, updating the status of land cover changes and analysing the trend of forest-cover changes in this region. Results of this study also illustrate the suitable technology available to support regional organizations to create thematic maps in monitoring and managing the natural resources and environment of provinces/cities that can achieve high accuracy and save time.
