Nowadays, spatial data exists pervasively in various information systems and applications. The unprecedented amount of spatial data that has been amassed and that is being produced in an increasing speed, via various facilities such as sensors, GPS receivers, smart phones and remote sensing, calls for extensive, deep and sustainable research on spatial information modelling, management and mining. In the past decade, we witnessed increasing research interests in these areas from the database, data mining and geographic information systems (GIS) communities.

This special issue on aims to solicit original research contributions and practical experiences of spatial information modelling, management and mining.
