Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geographic Information Systems and Infrastructures are designed to acquire, process, store, distribute, and improve utilization of geospatial data, and have been widely applied in a number of fields, such as earth science, business, public health and transportation. Recently, with the rapid development of the big data and artificial intelligence, the spatio-temporal categories, information content, and application scenarios of Geographic Information Systems and Infrastructures have expanded unprecedentedly. Therefore, to ensure the sustainable development of Geographic Information Systems and Infrastructures, research into new technologies, exploration of theories and the expansion of application domains of Geographic Information Systems and Infrastructures deserve further deliberation.
In this Special Issue, we seek to present the most recent findings and research on Geographic Information Systems and Infrastructures to promote their sustainable development. We invite the submission of papers focusing on exploring new theories, technologies and applications of Geographic Information Systems and Infrastructures, including but not limited to:
- Big geographic data-oriented data store, process, analysis, and visualization methods;
- Geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI);
- Geo-knowledge graph;
- Processing and application of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image and LiDAR point clouds;
- Applications in different scenarios (e.g., land cover verification, urban function zone, urban planning, human mobility, and environment assessment).
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
