New Trends of GIS Technology in Environmental Studies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will present the potential and trends of new GIS technologies in environmental studies. GIS is a powerful tool for environmental data analysis and prediction. GIS technology allows better viewing and understanding of physical features and nature in their relationships that influence critical environmental conditions. Assessment of hazards and risks becomes the foundation for planning decisions and mitigation activities under global climate change.

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring current GIS and GI technology trends.

Contributions can address the following topics:

• case studies using new GIS technology for environmental analysis
• planning and prediction of land use change
• using artificial intelligence in environmental studies
• monitoring of environmental problems using sensor networks
• methods of deriving environmental biophysical data from RS data
• spatial decision support system for landscape
