Abstract

People spend large part of their time indoors, such as school buildings, office buildings, shopping malls, and public transportation centers. As indoor space is different from outdoor space, it is difficult to just employ location-based technologies and services designed for outdoor space to indoor space. Thus, it is necessary for scientists and researchers to develop new spatial and spatio-temporal data management and geographic information systems (GIS) theories, technologies and applications for indoor space. The mission of this special issue "Indoor Spatial Awareness (Part 1)" is to bring together scientists and researchers who work on different topics of indoor spatial awareness and to provide a venue for inspiring new research directions in all relevant aspects.
