데이터베이스 관리시스템에서 데이터를 디스크에서 읽어오는 작업은 많은 비용을 필요로 한다. 따라서 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 I/O의 횟수를 최소화는 것이 가장 중요한 문제이다. 특히 공간데이터베이스 환경에서는 클라이언트 버퍼의 크기가 데이터베이스의 크기에 비해 매우 작기 때문에 버퍼를 효율적으로 사용하여 I/O 회수를 줄이는 문제는 더욱 중요하게 고려하여야 한다. 지금까지 디스크 I/O 횟수를 줄이기 위해서 많은 버퍼관리 기법들이 제안되었지만, 그 기법들은 시간적 근접성만을 고려해왔기 때문에 공간적 근접성도 존재하는 공간데이터베이스 환경에서는 최적의 성능을 보여주지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 공간 데이터베이스의 시간적 근접성과 공간적 근접성을 동시에 고려하는 새로운 버퍼관리기법인 SLM-tree Buffer Management Strategy를 제안한다. 제안한 버퍼관리기법은 공간 데이터베이스 환경에서 디스크 I/O의 횟수를 현저하게 줄임으로서 기존의 방법들에 비해 월등한 성능을 보여준다.

버퍼의 효율적인 관리는 시스템의 성능과 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 최근까지 다양한 버퍼 관리 기법들이 제안되었다. 그러나, 지금까지 알려진 기법들의 대부분은 시간 근접성만을 고려하고 있다. 그러나, 공간 데이터베이스와 같은 환경에서는 시간 근접성뿐 만 아니라, 유사한 위치에 있는 공간 객체들은 서로 같이 접근 될 가능성이 높다는 공간 근접성도 존재한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 공간 데이터베이스 환경에서 시간 근접성과 공간 근접성 같이 효과적으로 고려하는 버퍼 관리 기법을 제안하다. 또한, 실험을 통하여 제안 기법의 효율성을 보인다.

One of the major issues of DBMS is the buffer management. Because fetching data from the database disk is costly, the number of disk I/O's must be minimized in order to improve the DBMS performance. Although there have been many buffer management strategies to minimize the disk I/O, those strategies usually focused on just the temporal locality. Since there are the spatial locality as well as the temporal locality in the spatial database, strategies using only the temporal locality cannot achieve the optimal performance in the spatial database. In this paper, we propose a new buffer management strategy, the Spatial Locality Area Measure(SLAM) strategy, that considers not only the temporal locality but also the spatial locality. The SLAM buffer management strategy consists of two core structures, the SLM-tree and the M-LRU. We show the efficiency of the proposed strategy through experiments over various buffer sizes and reference frequencies.

Since tags do not have location informations, the identifiers of tags which are symbolic data are used as the location informations. Therefore, it is difficult to define the proxmity between two trajectories of tags and inefficient to process the user queries for tags. In this paper, we define the perceptual space to model the location of a tag and propose the proximity of the perceptual spaces. The proximity of the perceptual spaces is composed of the static proximity and dynamic proximity. Using the proximity of the perceptual spaces, it is possible to measure the proximity between two trajectories of tags and build the efficient indexes for tag trajectories. We evaluated the performance of the proposed proximity function for tag trajectories on the IR-tree and the $R^*$-tree.

Efficient buffer management is closely related to system performance. Thus, much research has been performed on various buffer management techniques. However, many of the proposed techniques utilize the temporal locality of access patterns. In spatial database environments, there exists not only the temporal locality but also spatial locality, where the objects in the recently accessed regions will be accessed again in the near future. Thus, in this paper, we present a buffer management technique, called BEAT, which utilizes both the temporal locality and spatial locality in spatial database environments. The experimental results with real-life and synthetic data demonstrate the efficiency of BEAT.

The purpose of this study is to critically examine conventional spatial measures of individual accessibility, which are based on the notion of spatial proximity, the single reference location, and the unlinked travel model. Using space-time accessibility measures with the travel-activity diary data set of Portland Metro, US, three expectations from spatial measures on spatial patterns of individual accessibility were empirically examined: (1) does individual accessibility decrease with an increase of distance from the CBD?; (2) does the spatial pattern of accessibility resemble that of urban opportunity density pattern?; and (3) are spatial patterns of individual accessibility of different socio- demographic population groups basically similar as people in the same area share the same geographic characteristics regardless of gender, race, age, and so on? First of all, the results showed that spatial variations in individual accessibility were not directly determined by spatial proximity and opportunity density as suggested by previous accessibility measures. The spatial pattern of individual accessibility was dramatically different from that of urban opportunity density High peaks of accessibility level were found far away from the CBD and regional centers. This finding might be associated with the importance of multi-reference locations and linked travels in shaping accessibility in reality. Furthermore, this study found that spatial patterns of accessibility clearly differ between men and women. These findings suggest that access requires more than proximity, and that the interaction between person-specific space-time constraints and the consequential availability of urban opportunities in space-time renders different accessibility experiences to people even in the same region, which would be one of the key ingredients missing from conventional spatial measures of accessibility.

This paper aims to provide a context-specific interpretation on the shifting process of in-house R&D spaces in a large Korean firm in the context of rapidly changing markets and technology. Drawing on the case study of LG Electronics Company, one of the Korea's flagship companies, I examine the causes and mechanisms leading to a shift in domestic R&D spaces and the nature of learning processes between R&D teams and between R&D and other organizational units, particularly manufacturing. It appears that the current reshaping processes of domestic R&D spaces in LGE focus more on the clustering of core R&D laboratories than the geographical integration of conception and execution. However, it should not simply be viewed that such a move would be reduced to the linear model of innovation and organizational learning. Instead, it involves the firm-specific mode of regulating organizational competences. As contextual variables to induce such a firm-specific mode of organizational change, I consider the spatial form of organization, the spatial sources of knowledge and learning, and the powers of relational learning that can be made between distanciated actors and teams.

The meanings and roles of community have been changed. Traditional community theories hinged on the neighborhood have been threatened by the alternative concept of 'communities without propinquity'. Embracing unprecedented development of transportation, information and communication technologies, Propinquity of community has not been a precondition. This paper reviews the development of community theories with a frame of 'communities without propinquity'. Furthermore, applying social network analysis(SNA) approaches, it explores the communality of Topgol Comic Book Space, located in Goesan, Chungbuk and examines spatial characters. Visitors' networks of Topgol Comic Book Space builda up national coverage and expands. It functions as a field of testing various activities without explicit 'fixed purpose'. The case exemplifies a community, continuously enlarging the spatial and social boundaries, performing a series of activities, and connecting both the outside and the local.

The purpose of this paper is to examine relation between trust building level and linkages's spatial characteristics on the logistics & storage industry of Busan. As a result, First, long-term & repeated interaction, information sharing & reciprocity, and interdependence & asset specificity have an important effect upon the micro trust which implies the highest trust. Proximity and uncertainty impact on the meso trust, the trust of middle level. Culture, norm, and formal institution of firms affect the macro trust, the lowest level of trust. Second, the micro, the meso, and the macro trusts mainly form in the local scale where spatial proximity is great. The higher the trust building levels become, the more spatial dimensions by linkage expand to national and international dimension, respectively. Third, these results appear more clearly in the output linkage than input linkage, in the service areas-many firm, in the horizontal linkage than vertical linkage, in the advanced evolution phases of firm connection, and in the supply chain management than outsourcing.

The main aim of this article is to examine theoretical issues on the 'global-local connectivity' of regional industrial cluster and regional innovation system which have been presented since the 2000s in terms of three different aspects. Firstly, the concept of 'geographical proximity' is discussed within the context of its importance for the regional industrial development by considering relationships of cluster, local buzz and global pipeline. Secondly, concepts on knowledge gatekeeper and temporary cluster are explored with respect to their role of a mediator in forming or transforming global-local connectivity. Finally, policy implications of the global-local connection are presented. Authors arguments are as follows; firstly, in order to improve regional industrial cluster on the basis of geographical proximity, relational proximity which is beyond different spatial scales has to be secured. It means that geographical convenience and inconvenience are required simultaneously for regional industrial development. Secondly, A base of the global-local connectivity is socal capital and embeddedness. Therefore, it needs to understand that relational proximity is embedded into different culture and habit at different spatial scales. Finally, within the context of the global-local connectivity, in order to overcome spatial hierarchy by the division of labor of firms, it needs to consider the complex system which is composed of vertical and horizontal hierarchy by the spatial division of labor by firms, openness and closeness of clusters, and the scope of policies' inclusion and exclusion by central and local governments.
