Spatial Information for Improved Living Spaces

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue covers the crucial roles of advanced spatial information and geospatial technologies in improving living spaces' quality and sustainability. Studies on spatial information for improving living spaces require interdisciplinary knowledge and technologies in various fields, such as spatial data representation, artificial intelligence, geo-computation, and digital twins. This topic is crucial for addressing complex challenges related to urban and regional development, public health, and environmental sustainability. Improving living spaces is essential for making well-informed decisions and fostering innovation in the public and private sectors. It also plays a significant role in driving progress, leading to more the growth of livable communities.

This Special Issue will present advanced research and discuss the practical uses of spatial information technology that enhance living spaces. The topic aligns closely with the journal's focus on promoting interdisciplinary studies related to the processing, analysis, and visualization of spatial data. Our objective is to connect theoretical progress with practical implementations for the influence of spatial information on improving living spaces, such as urban and regional environments, public health, and cultural heritage conservation.

The Special Issue welcomes diverse submissions, encompassing original research articles and reviews on various topics such as spatial data interoperability, AI-powered spatial analysis, geo-computation and simulation, digital twins for urban planning, and extended reality in geovisualization. The contributions may also contain novel methodologies in sensor web, Internet of Things (IoT) applications for intelligent environments, spatially enabled health interventions, the visualization of cultural heritage, and the incorporation of spatial information for achieving the sustainable development objectives of promoting progress in spatial science and encouraging its utilization for enhancing living spaces.

This Special Issue will support the ISPRS TC IV Symposium 2024 in Perth, Australia. For more information, use this link: https://www.isprs.org/tc4-symposium2024/index.html.
