Abstract
The application of GIS technologies has extended from natural sciences to social sciences. The emerging spatial–temporal big data supported by GIS has broad applications in social governance. Through a unified time–space reference, multi-source big data from different departments can be linked and organized, forming a block data. A cloud platform based on the block data is developed for data processing, data fusion, data analysis, and data mining. This cloud platform can support the management of specific public affairs, such as natural resources management, urban and rural planning, and urban construction. In the future, we need to further explore and use spatial–temporal big data to constantly improve our spatial governance capabilities.
