Special Issue on GIS and Geographic Analysis

GIS and Geographic Analysis focuses on the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis techniques to study patterns, relationships, and trends across diverse fields. It welcomes research on geospatial data acquisition, mapping, modeling, and visualization, as well as innovative methods for analyzing spatial phenomena in areas such as urban planning, environmental monitoring, transportation, public health, disaster management, and resource allocation. By integrating advanced geospatial technologies with interdisciplinary approaches, this issue aims to enhance understanding of spatial dynamics and support data-driven decision-making for sustainable development and problem-solving.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring GIS and Geographic Analysis. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Spatial data management and analysis
• Spatial analysis: concepts and techniques
• GIS for natural resource management
• GIS for urban planning and management
• GIS for environmental studies
• Spatial modeling and simulation
• Web GIS and online mapping
• Geostatistics and spatial interpolation
• Spatial decision support systems
• GIS for disaster management
• GPS and location-based services
• Geocoding and geocaching
• Spatial uncertainty and error analysis
• Cartography and map design
• GIS data standards and interoperability
• Spatial econometrics and econometric mapping
• Big data analytics and GIS

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - GIS and Geographic Analysis” should be selected during your submission.
