Call for Papers: Data-Driven Geospatial Approaches and Systems for Informed Decision Making in Sustainable Urban and Regional Development – Special Issue by CODATA, The Committee on Data for Science and Technology<\/p>\n

In today’s rapidly urbanizing world, sustainable urban and regional development has become a critical concern. As cities and regions continue to grow, it is essential to make informed decisions that promote sustainability, efficiency, and resilience. To achieve this, data-driven geospatial approaches and systems play a crucial role in providing valuable insights and supporting evidence-based decision making.<\/p>\n

Recognizing the significance of this topic, CODATA, The Committee on Data for Science and Technology, has announced a special issue on “Data-Driven Geospatial Approaches and Systems for Informed Decision Making in Sustainable Urban and Regional Development.” This special issue aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share their knowledge, experiences, and innovative solutions in utilizing geospatial data for sustainable development.<\/p>\n

Geospatial data refers to information that is associated with a specific location on the Earth’s surface. It includes data from various sources such as satellite imagery, aerial photography, GPS measurements, and social media feeds. By analyzing and integrating these datasets, researchers can gain valuable insights into urban and regional dynamics, patterns, and trends.<\/p>\n

The special issue invites papers that explore the application of geospatial data in addressing key challenges related to sustainable urban and regional development. Some of the topics of interest include:<\/p>\n

1. Geospatial analysis for urban planning: How can geospatial data be used to support urban planning processes? What are the best practices in utilizing geospatial analysis techniques to assess land use, transportation networks, and infrastructure development?<\/p>\n

2. Spatial modeling for sustainable development: How can spatial modeling techniques contribute to sustainable urban and regional development? What are the potential applications of spatial modeling in predicting future scenarios, evaluating environmental impacts, and optimizing resource allocation?<\/p>\n

3. Geospatial data integration and interoperability: How can different geospatial datasets be integrated and made interoperable to support decision making? What are the challenges and opportunities in integrating data from diverse sources, such as remote sensing, social media, and citizen science?<\/p>\n

4. Geospatial data visualization and communication: How can geospatial data be effectively visualized and communicated to stakeholders? What are the innovative approaches in visualizing complex spatial information to facilitate understanding and engagement?<\/p>\n

5. Geospatial data ethics and governance: What are the ethical considerations in collecting, analyzing, and sharing geospatial data How can data governance frameworks ensure privacy, security, and fairness in the use of geospatial data for decision making?<\/p>\n

Researchers and practitioners from various disciplines, including geography, urban planning, environmental science, computer science, and data science, are encouraged to submit their original research papers to this special issue. The papers should present novel methodologies, case studies, or practical applications that demonstrate the potential of geospatial data in informing sustainable urban and regional development.<\/p>\n

The deadline for paper submissions is [insert deadline]. All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the contributions. Accepted papers will be published in the special issue of [journal name], a renowned publication in the field of geospatial science and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

By bringing together the latest research and practical experiences, this special issue aims to advance our understanding of how geospatial data can contribute to informed decision making in sustainable urban and regional development. It provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to share their insights, exchange ideas, and collaborate towards creating more sustainable and resilient cities and regions.<\/p>\n
