Focus & Scope

The International Journal of the Built Environment and Geospatial Sciences (IJBEGS) publishes research that integrates built-environment disciplines with geospatial sciences.

Core thematic areas include, but are not limited to:

Architecture and Building Studies

Housing, building performance, climate-responsive design, sustainability, retrofitting, and adaptive reuse.

Urban & Regional Planning

Land-use planning, spatial growth, regeneration, metropolitan systems, liveability, and resilience.

Urban Design & Public Space

Urban form, morphology, walkability, streetscape design, human-scale environments, and thermal comfort.

GIS & Spatial Analytics

Spatial modelling, accessibility analysis, geostatistics, multi-criteria analysis, and decision-support systems.

Remote Sensing & Earth Observation

Land-cover change, urban expansion, UHI analysis, climate risk, and environmental monitoring.

GeoBIM & Digital Twins

BIM / GeoBIM integration, 3D city modelling, infrastructure mapping, and smart urban systems.

Transport & Infrastructure Planning

Mobility systems, logistics networks, transit planning, and infrastructure performance assessment.

Environment & Climate Resilience

Blue-green infrastructure, risk assessment, adaptation strategies, sustainability indicators.
