Feature Articles : Evolution and expansion of spatial information – Innovation from integration of services

Along with the dramatic change of the environment for acquiring data in recent years, it has become indispensable to aggregate vast amounts of information and to take a comprehensive view of the whole. Spatial information, the information associated with location, is important in the field of Civil Engineering, and has a wide range of variety. Recently, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been given great attention, and its expression and content is deepening and has increasing diversification. In addition, the “Basic Act on the Advancement of Utilizing Geospatial Information” was enacted in 2007, in an effort to promote actions relating to Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Moreover, its fields of application are also expanding by combining spatial information freely. It is expected that innovations can be born from the services that integrate data of position, and from the further integration of these services. This special issue gives an overview of the true value and issues of spatial information, and it is our intent that it can provide an opportunity to think about the further evolution of spatial information in the future and expansion of its new applications.
