5. Conclusions The criteria and indicators (C&I) approach play an important role in strengthening GSAS for sustainable landscaping using native plants and can be implemented to be a part of landscape assessment, environmental protection and to ensure a high standard of living. The prioritization and categorization of potential native plant species that are adapted to various extreme environmental conditions such as high temperatures, low rainfall, drought,salinity, and contaminated environments are a vital prerequisite to tackle the current problems facing mankind like food security,pollution and endangered habitats. The Government of Qatar sets out goals in Qatar’s National Vision for 2030, to include the prioritized potential native plants found suitable in the present study for urban landscaping and environmental sustainability. With regard to this, it is important to develop a sustainable assessment criteria and indicators approach for measuring different environmental variables, in order that sustainable landscaping using native plants can be achieved. The lessons learnt from pilot testing of criteria and related indicators and its implementation are being expanded in various developmental activities of the country, to reflect practical impact on ground. The study encourages and supports the development of further initiatives which would provide a robust frame work not only to define sustainability in the context of individual countries, but also to provide a mechanism for under-standing, monitoring and analysing regional and international trends. Therefore, it is recommended that future studies on alla spects of sustainability (e.g., environmental, social, economic,human and policy) need to follow the integrated approach so that the results could be made more compatible.
