Developments in Geospatial Sciences for Smart Land Management in China: Theory and Practice

Scientific and technological developments, including in geographic information systems, remote sensing systems, metaverse and artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies will change land resources management in China. Current smart technologies are converging to lead to multi-platform integration, dynamic detection, intelligent evaluations, and intelligent decision-making. Land management benefits from these developments by improved suitability assessments, land use monitoring, transaction administration, data mining, and scenario development. This makes land management more accurate and actual. Nevertheless there are also risks with the developments depending on big data, such as limitations in cloud storage space, privacy concerns, and security risks.
