The document outlines a strategic framework for transforming small islands near urban centers into sustainable tourism destinations. It emphasizes a four-dimensional sustainability model (environmental, economic, social, and cultural) and details the use of 'smart solutions'—such as IoT sensors, satellite imagery, and citizen science—to monitor ecosystems and manage visitor flows. The guide is based on experiences from Aegna and Vasikkasaari islands, providing a step-by-step process for visioning, sustainability assessment, and the implementation of infrastructure and waste management systems.

• Sustainable development for small islands should be based on a strategic framework consisting of four dimensions: environmental, economic, social, and cultural support systems.
• The strategic planning process for an eco-island is divided into three main stages: formulating a shared long-term vision, assessing current sustainability to identify gaps and needs, and agreeing on strategic goals and an action plan.
• Digital solutions can be categorized into five application areas for small island development: environmental monitoring, visitor monitoring, aerial photo analysis, virtual experiences, and transport.
• Specific smart monitoring tools tested include infrared counters and Bluetooth technology for tracking visitor flows, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) via satellite imagery to assess nature damage and vegetation changes.
• Citizen science is presented as an effective method for collecting biodiversity data and increasing environmental awareness, exemplified by the use of the iNaturalist app for species monitoring and educational programs on marine litter.
• Effective waste management on small islands requires a tailored approach; for example, Aegna utilizes a centralized waste station and a partnership with the Tallinn Waste Center to transport waste to the mainland.
