Abstract

Distributed technology is an important direction in the field of geographic information system (GIS). However, distributed GIS is facing a number of challenges such as decentralization, geospatial data sharing, and privacy and security vulnerabilities. Blockchain technology brings the opportunities in addressing the challenges of GIS. In this chapter, we investigate the integration of blockchain technology with GIS and discuss the opportunities of blockchain GIS. Moreover, our novel architecture of blockchain GIS is proposed, while the potential applications of blockchain GIS are described in detail. Finally, we outline the open research directions in the promising area.
