Geo-Information in Smart Societies and Environment
This special issue belongs to the section “Urban Remote Sensing“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geo-information, such as remote sensing, social sensing, and crowdsourcing geospatial big data, provides new and unique insights to advance our scientific understanding of the human–environment interaction. Geospatial technologies, geo-data and remote sensing data have been widely used to study urban and environmental health issues, such as built environment change, urbanization process, urban mobility, human behaviours, environmental exposure, and public health. Geo-information has also become an important tool to investigate pressing issues, such as unbalanced socio-economic development, air pollution control and mitigation, prediction and risk assessment of hazard, environmental monitoring and modelling, etc.
This Special Issue calls for the newest research that makes use of remote sensing, social sensing, and crowdsourcing data, methods, and geospatial techniques in social and environmental studies. The expected topics include, but are not limited to, smart societies, smart cities, environmental sustainability, urban environmental health, environmental monitoring and modelling, environmental changes, natural hazards and risks, and climate change.
