Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Land use and spatial planning are critical topics that shape our environment and communities.
By 2030, about five billion people will be living in cities. In order to ensure sustainable urban development, it is necessary to implement effective spatial planning and land management policies.
Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect in one place the most modern methods of shaping spatial development and tools for modifying techniques, parameters and land development.
This Special Issue will explore new perspectives in recent advances in land use and 3D spatial planning and landscape protection.
The topics that will be discussed in this Special Issue will focus not only on modern methods, technologies and further land use and spatial planning, but will also extend to spatial development in the process of land consolidation, which is the basis for achieving sustainable development.
Further, it will concern proposals for new administrative and legal procedures aimed at improving the quality of urban and rural areas.
We would like to encourage scientists to cooperate in the creation of a Special Issue of Applied Sciences. We invite researchers involved in spatial planning, urban planning, geodesy, GIS, real-estate management, revitalization, environmental protection, landscape architecture, economics, spatial management, law and all other related fields to participate in our research.
This Special Issue focuses on articles proposing innovative land use and spatial planning techniques, as well as interesting applications and well-prepared review articles.
