Special Issue on Geographic Information System

A geographic information system (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data. Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data. It analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. With this unique capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations—helping users make smarter decisions. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Geographic Information System.

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

• Spatial data infrastructure
• Relating information from different sources
• GIS techniques and technology
• GIS uncertainties and GIS data mining
• Data representation and data capture
• Spatial analysis with GIS
• Applications of geographic information system

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 notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Geographic Information System” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
