Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alongside with rapid urbanization and population expansion, public-health problems and socio-economic impact have raised concerns on urban livability and sustainability. Therefore, developing towards a long-term sustainable urban environment is an urgent task for government agencies and scientists. Prof. Zhao pioneered the scientific discipline of "Landsenses ecology" (Zhao et al., 2020), which aimed at people's subjective perceptions of security, beauty, and happiness. We would like to ask, do people familiar with their daily habitat? Furthermore, how to use frontier technologies to solve the problem of sustainable development? Especially the vision, smell, voice, feeling, happiness, or other human-oriented physical and psychological perspectives.
The city is a complex social-economic-natural ecosystem. Enormous efforts have been devoted to a smarter, greener, and more livable cities. A smart and efficient urban sensing system, with the emerging technologies in GIS, remote sensing, crowdsourcing, machine learning, and other multi-source sensors to obtain a full view of the urban ecosystem are the basis for its success.
This Special Issue will comprise a selection of papers presenting original and innovative contributions in the field of multi-source sensing research, including the Internet of Things and Landsenses ecology, Artificial Intelligence, sustainable greenspace systems, Spatialtemporal big data, and innovative use cases of such technologies in socio-cultural, political, environmental, and legal considerations. Empirical research involving innovative methods are also welcomed.
The particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Landsenses ecology
- Multi-source data fusion
- The Internet of Things or Artificial Intelligence applications
- Sustainable greenspace systems
- Healthy and sustainable living environment
- Socio-cultural, political, economic, environmental, or legal considerations
- urban ecological planning and management for SDGs goals
- urban greening and public health
