UGOD Thrust Seminar | Refined Social Governance Supported by Geospatial Technologies and Geographic Information

The era of big data we are marching into has strong spatial and temporal characteristics, and at least 80% of the information we generate and use in our daily life is related to time and space. The social governance and public management in the era of big data require accurate "time" and "space" information. The geospatial technologies and geographic information can effectively assist us to discover the spatial social laws and reasons for changes hidden in the massive amount of spatial temporal data.
With the rapid development of geospatial technologies and the emergence of new data sources (urban spatial big data, mobile phone big data, satellite remote sensing earth observation imagery, …), spatially refined social governance is moving to a new stage of micro-scale modeling and analysis, virtual simulation and early prediction. Making full use of satellite remote sensing data and multi-source urban spatial data can effectively assist decision makers to explore the interaction law between various behavioral activities, socio-economic and built environmental indicators in urban space through GIS spatio-temporal analysis.
Through a series of cases such as urban crime, subjective well-being, economic development, location service, the surface monitoring, urban infrastructure management, and several others, this speech will be demonstrating the application of satellite remote sensing, navigation and positioning technology, GIS, and geographic artificial intelligence in the daily management of government departments and urban space governance.
Dr. Li He obtained PhD in Geography at McMaster University in 2016. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Xi’an Jiaotong University, and serves as Director for the Center of Social Computing (CSC) at Xi’an Jiaotong University. He also serves as Secretary General for the Young Geographer Working Group (YGWG) of Asian Geographical Association (AGA), member of the Social Computing and Social Intelligence Committee of the Chinese Association of Artificial Intelligence (CAAI). He serves as Associate Editor for the journal Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Springer Nature), and sits on the editorial board for Data Science and Management (DSM) and Frontiers in Sustainable Cities. He also serves as reviewers for over 20 leading international scientific journals.
He has published 20 academic papers, and has received more than 10 research grants from National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Chinese Ministry of Education, China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, and several other sources. He received “Excellent Young Scholar Award” from the International Geographical Union (IGU), the “National Ethnic Work Outstanding Research Award” from The State Ethnic Affairs Commission of the People’s Republic of China, and the “Outstanding Achievement Awards” in Humanities and Social Sciences Research of Shaanxi Universities in 2021 (1st prize) and 2019 (2nd prize).
