Aim & Scope:

The International Cartographic Association (ICA) and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University are excited to announce the inaugural regional cartographic conference in Asia, the Asian Cartographic Conference (AsiaCarto 2024). This conference marks a significant milestone in expanding and leveraging the influence of the ICA in the Asia-Pacific region.

In line with the objectives of AsiaCarto 2024, this special issue aims to capture and disseminate the latest advancements, innovative methodologies, and research findings in the fields of Cartography and Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (AI). It serves as a dedicated platform to showcase the diverse perspectives, cutting-edge technologies, and interdisciplinary collaborations presented and discussed during the conference. Moreover, this special issue aims to facilitate dialogue and knowledge exchange among researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in the global cartographic and GIScience community.

Possible topics:

This special issue invites original research articles, review papers, and case studies that relate to, but are not limited to, the following themes:

  • Atlas Cartography
  • Cartographic Art and Design
  • Cartographic Heritage
