Abstract

Urbanization and industrialization have led to a severe deterioration in urban air qualities. As an air pollution is closely associated with human health, citizen has a growing concern about the air quality policy to improve their residential environment. Due to the recently advance in web- and mobile computing technologies, citizens can easily access various air quality information and public authorities utilize the social media service to communicate citizens with air quality issues. Also citizens' participation and role has been increased to improve urban air qualities. Thus, to meet the technical and societal changes, a GIS-based air quality information system is developed based upon the Ubiquitous Public Access (UPA) model in ISO19154. The proposed system employs the context information model to provide air quality information depending on citizens' health conditions and locations. Also, citizens can present their perceptions of an air quality at their current location Public authorities can thus utilize the citizens' perceptions when establishing new air quality policies.

도시화와 산업화로 악화되고 있는 대기환경은 건강과 밀접한 연관이 있어, 대기환경 개선정책에 대한 시민들의 관심은 증가되고 있는 상황이다. 정보통신기술의 발전으로 일반대중은 다양한 대기환경 정보를 쉽게 접근하고 이용하고 있고, 정책결정권자들은 대기환경문제를 시민들과 소통하기 위해 소셜 미디어 서비스를 이용하고 있다. 또한, 높아진 환경의식으로 대기환경개선을 위한 시민들의 참여와 역할의 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 기술적 사회적 변화는 기존 대기환경 정보시스템과 대기환경 정보서비스의 변화를 요구하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ISO19154의 UPA (Ubiquitous Pubic Access) 모델을 참조하여 GIS 기반의 대기환경 정보시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템은 공간 상황정보모델을 이용하여, 시민들의 위치와 건강상태에 따른 대기환경정보와 행동요령정보를 제공한다. 또한 시민들은 대기환경정보 시스템을 통해 현재위치와 관심지역의 대기환경에 대한 의견을 표현하게 함으로써, 대기환경 정책결정권자 관련 정책을 수립하는데 참고하도록 하였다.
