Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to present works based on data GIS processing such as spatial analysis, geostatistical, and modeling or metamodeling, as well as geoinformation algorithms or interactive representation architectures, all focused on seismic-Induced Hazards (or Risk) assessing or their governance and management. The studies can involve and be applied to different study areas, both theoretical/demonstrative and case studies.
Therefore, GIS-based models, processes or procedures able to produce maps that combine morphometric and subsoil data using canonical or simplified (empirical or stochastic) models and multimodel combinations are welcome, taking into account the soil and rock features, as well as their dynamic behavior. The phenomena should be seismic shaking and its effects on the anthropized environment, earthquake-induced landslides, liquefaction, and densification, as well as tsunami invasion areas.

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. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1700 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.
