Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Geographical Information System for Sustainable Ecology”, encompasses the application of GIS technology for enhancing ecological sustainability. Its scope includes the use of GISs for environmental monitoring, habitat management, and conservation planning. The purpose is to explore how GISs can support sustainable ecological practices by providing spatial analysis, mapping, and data integration capabilities that aid in understanding and managing natural resources.
This Special Issue centers on the integration of Geographical Information Systems (GISs) in promoting sustainable ecological practices. It highlights how GISs can enhance the understanding, management, and conservation of natural environments. The focus includes the application of GISs for spatial analysis, environmental monitoring, habitat management, and supporting ecological sustainability. The scope covers a wide range of GIS applications relevant to ecological sustainability. This includes spatial data collection and analysis for environmental monitoring, GIS-based habitat and species management, evaluation of ecological impacts and risk assessments, as well as the integration of GISs with other technologies for enhanced environmental management. The purpose of this Special Issue is to showcase how GIS technology can be leveraged to support and advance sustainable ecological practices. It will complement the existing literature by introducing new applications, providing detailed case studies, and highlighting interdisciplinary approaches.
