Dear Colleagues,

Geoinformation has become increasingly important for managing, monitoring, and enabling human mobility over the past 20 years, but in 2020 the global Covid-19 pandemic challenged accepted mobility norms and freedoms, and led governments to use scientific advice as a basis for limiting the mobility of their citizens. Human mobility abruptly declined, as routine movement at various spatio-temporal scales ceased or diminished. However, some people have long experienced challenges to their mobility, arising from economic, social, physical, or mental health challenges, which many governments have sought to alleviate using geoinformation over recent decades through measures aimed at improving accessibility. Nevertheless, the impact of lockdown measures affected people differently irrespective of the extent and nature of their “normal” mobility. Geospatial information and its analysis is fundamental to understanding human mobility, and this Special Issue is dedicated to its exploration at the full range of spatial scales and modes of personal movement (walking, cycling, road vehicles, aircraft, etc.), and to reflect on the old and new norms of mobility as the world transitions from a pre- to post-Covid-19 era. Original papers are sought from researchers around the world which focus on topics involving geoinformation and human mobility. Submissions are invited for this Special Issue which aims to bring together recent research, including but not limited to manuscripts addressing geoinformation and human mobility before and after the current public health crisis, covering topics such as:

• Barriers to and enablers of personal mobility;
• Controlling movement and accessibility;
• Monitoring and surveillance;
• Ethics of geoinformation and mobility;
• Geo-enabled mobile devices;
• Social and behavioral implication of managing human mobility.

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. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1700 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.
