The 7th Annual 2019 International Conference on Geo-Spatial Knowledge and Intelligence (GSKI2019) was held on December 20-21, 2019 at Guangzhou, China. It aims to bring researchers, engineers, and students to the areas of Geo-Spatial Knowledge and Intelligence.GSKI2019 features unique mixed topics of smart city, spatial data acquisition, processing and management, modeling and analysis, and recent applications in the context of building healthier ecology and Resource Management. The conference will provide a forum for sharing experiences and original research contributions on those topics. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their contributions to GSKI2019.We received a total of 203 submissions from various parts of the world. The International Program Committee worked very hard to have all papers peer-peer reviewed before the review deadline. The final program consists of 98 papers. There are four keynote speeches. All the keynote speakers are internationally recognized leading experts in their research fields, who have demonstrated outstanding proficiency and have achieved distinction in their profession. The proceedings were published by IOP Conference Series. We would like to mention that, due to the limitation of the conference venue capacity, we are not able to include many fine papers in the program. Our apology goes to those authors.We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the members of International Program Committee and organizers for their enthusiasm, time, and expertise. Our deep thanks also go to many volunteers and staffs for the long hours and hard work they have generously given to GSKI2019. We are very grateful to Prof. Xiao-dong Liu and Prof. Hui-Mi Hsu for their support in making GSKI2019 possible. Finally, we would like to thank all the authors, speakers, and participants of this conference for their contributions to GSKI2019.GSKI2019 Committee
