Abstract
This study aims to establish a strategic NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure) model for developing countries based on good practices in the Republic of Korea. The Republic of Korea is a unique country in the world, which has become a developed country from a recipient of international aid since the Korean War in 1950. The rapid economic growth can be mostly attributed to the IT technologies and the Republic of Korea's NSDI efforts as a good practice could provide useful lessons for developing countries. This study consists of theoretical reviews, interviews of Korean NSDI experts, analysis for lessons learned, a summary of the lessons in terms of Six NSDI components and finally a strategic NSDI model for developing countries. The NSDI model is structured by (1) implementation strategies suggested for geospatial data, capacity building, geospatial platform, and cost-effective management with partnership, (2) a roadmap of important NSDI tasks and activities, and finally, (3) a harmonized approach for successful NSDI implementation.
