Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Land administration practices are impacted by digital innovations which are reshaping society, the economy, and lifestyle. For instance, pairing the virtual and physical worlds and having interrelated building and city assets throughout the Internet of things (IoT) have resulted in the concept of digital twins. The development of digital twins using advanced technologies and solutions can provide planners, architects, designers, surveyors, engineers, and property managers with a unique opportunity to solve land administration challenges and problems in complex urban environments. Open data availability, open source visualization platforms, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), advanced 3D data capturing technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the IoT support the creation of digital twins to represent the real world more completely and adaptively for various use cases, such as land administration.
The ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information has launched a Special Issue to collect the current state-of-the-art and future directions of land administration and digital twins. This Special Issue encourages the submission of pure basic research as well as applied research papers aligned with the following scope.
Scope:
- Modern land administration systems;
- 3D cadastre research experiences (data capturing, modelling, validation, visualisation and storage);
- 3D cadastre implementation;
- Digital twins concept and framework;
- Digital twins research and development;
- Digital twins implementation;
- Digital twins and 3D cadastre integration.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 1700 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.
