Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on Road to Smart City with Geohazard Mitigation and Adaptation.
Advancements in digital technologies attribute to an enormous transformation in our living conditions, working environments and social interactions. A smart city is a direction of the digital future powered by the 4th industrial revolution. In particular, a massive effort is required to harness solutions across industries to achieve efficient urban spaces as part of a sustainable smart city. Special attention is given to the mechanisms of urban hazard interaction with water- and geo-related materials. It is crucial to have an in-depth understanding of the cause of the problems and find the measures to provide sufficient safety protection. Urban safety is of utmost priority for enabling the smart city. Hazards may occur in various forms. One example is a geo-related hazard called geohazard, which greatly impacts the local society and urban areas.
This Special Issue is devoted to the mitigation and adaptation technologies of geohazards in various research fields, with respect to theoretical and applied research across the whole spectrum of geotechnical and geomorphological hazards.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
