Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quality assessment of landscapes is a significant issue in the sustainable management of land resources, where the considerable availability of temporal and spatial remote sensing-based data plays a fundamental role. Remote sensing applications enable the efficient management of data science, with the aim being the scientific formulation of regional development strategies. simultaneously, they are also an inevitable choice from the perspective of sustainable development. Remote sensing technology can obtain information on the Earth’s surface covering large areas, in emergency scenarios in particular, and has widespread applications in environmental assessment. The development of remote sensing is changing quickly with regard to the fields in which it is applied and to technical approaches.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome and research areas may include, but are not limited to:
(1) Reviews of remote sensing applications in landscape quality assessment;
(2) Interpreting landscapes in urban and rural areas with high-resolution remote sensing images;
(3) Change detection and analysis using remote sensing techniques;
(4) Developing remote sensing methods for landscape quality assessment;
(5) Monitoring and assessment of landscape in agriculture, forestry, disasters, climate change, etc.
In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions related to the above topics.

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.
