Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second edition of a Special Issue on Spatial Information for Improved Living Spaces (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijgi/special_issues/441KK14395). It is not a surprise that this topic attracted a high number of quality submissions, and we are still counting. Due to its popularity, we have decided to open a second edition of this Special Issue and invite further submissions.
We invite submissions on the crucial roles of advanced spatial information and geospatial technologies in improving the quality and sustainability of living spaces. We especially welcome studies that include interdisciplinary knowledge and technologies across various fields, such as spatial data representation, artificial intelligence, geo-computation, and digital twins, and address complex challenges related to urban and regional development, public health, and environmental sustainability. Using spatial knowledge for improving living spaces is essential for making well-informed decisions and fostering innovation in the public and private sectors, which leads to the benefit of communities.
Similarly to the first edition, this Special Issue will present advanced research and discuss the practical uses of spatial information technology to 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.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 1900 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.
