In Korea, map coordinates has been confused in use since the map projection system has been complicated by using two different methods i.e., Gauss conformal double projection and Gauss-Kruger projection which are com-plicated in using through history. So, we have to understand the two projections' characteristics and differences. In this study, we would find out a fact that the maximum difference occurred in longitude and latitude is about 15cm at the Korean peninsular. This shift is accepted as proper in GIS and cartographic application but should be considered carefully in converting of the geodetic control point coordinates.

Spatiotemporal data are records of the spatial changes of moving objects over time. Most data in corporate databases have a spatiotemporal nature, but they are typically treated as merely descriptive semantic data without considering their potential visual (or cartographic) representation. Businesses such as geographical CRM, location-based services, and technologies like GPS and RFID depend on the storage and analysis of spatiotemporal data. Effectively handling the data analysis process may be accomplished through spatiotemporal data warehouse and spatial OLAP. This paper proposes a multidimensional model for spatiotemporal data analysis, and cartographically represents the results of the analysis.

Railway route maps including subways is a guide map which offers transport information as well as cartographic diagrams and is not only a way of communication, but it should give also concrete image and pleasing form. The elements of route map should meet satisfaction requirement condition and design attributes with aesthetic principles. To guide passengers by giving geographic information effectively, we need to understanding the following concepts and its application of basic elements such as expressing its structure and value. Therefore it should appear as a diagram with typography, form, symbols and colour. This means the aim of a good visualization should be done by a method that is concrete and a synthesis of well composed elements.

In recent years, LiDAR technology has been becoming more popular and important. Its applications are completely replacing the traditional remote sensing technique. One of these applications is creating Digital City Models in urban areas, which is essential for many others such as disaster management, cartographic mapping, simulation of new buildings, updating and keeping cadastral data. In most of these cases the building outlines is the primary feature of interest. In this paper, a method of extracting building outlines from LiDAR data will be performed.

A geologic hazard map has been produced in the suburbs of Seoul using GIS technology to analyse the degree of geologic hazard, particularly landslides. Topographic, geologic and soil data were incorporated in a map through GIS, which enable to interpret, analyse and predict the regional geologic hazards. Potential elements causing a landslide are slope geometry, geology, groundwater table, soil property, rainfall and vegetation etc. These elements analysed in the study area were input into GIS system through cartographic simulation to produce the regional geologic hazard map. For this work, ARC/INFO(GIS) and ERDAS(IP) system were used.

In automatic map generalization, the formalization of cartographic principles is important. This study proposes and evaluates the selection method for road network generalization that analyzes existing maps using reverse engineering and formalizes the selection rules for the road network. Existing maps with a 1:5,000 scale and a 1:25,000 scale are compared, and the criteria for selection of the road network data and the relative importance of each network object are determined and analyzed using $T{\ddot{o}}pfer^{\prime}s$ Radical Law as well as the logistic regression model. The selection model derived from the analysis result is applied to the test data, and road network data for the 1:25,000 scale map are generated from the digital topographic map on a 1:5,000 scale. The selected road network is compared with the existing road network data on the 1:25,000 scale for a qualitative and quantitative evaluation. The result indicates that more than 80% of road objects are matched to existing data.

Urban flooding threatens human beings and facilities with chemical and physical hazards since the beginning of human civilization. Recent studies have emphasized the integration of data and models for effective urban flood inundation modeling. However, the model set-up process is tend to be time consuming and to require a high level of data processing skill. Furthermore, in spite of the use of high resolution grid data, inundation depth and velocity are varied with building treatment methods in 2-D inundation model, because undesirable grids are generated and resulted in the reliability decline of the simulation results. Thus, it requires building generalization process or enhancing building orthogonality to minimize the distortion of building before converting building footprint into grid data. This study aims to develop building generalization method for 2-dimensional inundation analysis to enhance the model reliability, and to investigate the effect of building generalization method on urban inundation in terms of geographical engineering and hydraulic engineering. As a result to improve the reliability of 2-dimensional inundation analysis, the building generalization method developed in this study should be adapted using Digital Building Model(DBM) before model implementation in urban area. The proposed building generalization sequence was aggregation-simplification, and the threshold of the each method should be determined by considering spatial characteristics, which should not exceed the summation of building gap average and standard deviation.

This study aims at providing a set of viable answers regarding the projection and cartographic scale of Daedongyeojido through a GIS-based planimetric accuracy analysis. Both global and local analyses were undertaken in the use of an analytical tool, MapAnalyst. The main results from the global analysis are threefold. First, the overall cartographic scale turned out to be between 1:158,000 and 1:162,000. Second, the rotation angles were between $2^{\circ}$ and $3^{\circ}$, and the equidistant cylindrical projection reported the smallest value. Third, in terms of position accuracy, the conformal cylindrical projection showed a best fit to the map. A local analysis was undertaken for the conformal cylindrical and equidistant azimuthal projections and its main results are threefold. First, the largest distortions in terms of the displacement vectors and distortion grid were found in the northern borderlands. Second, from the isoline maps of scales, it was acknowledged that local scales between 1:170,000 and 1:175,000 were found around the middle part of the Korean peninsula centered on Seoul. As away from the region to the north-south direction, increasingly larger scales were distributed, while the smallest ones were found in the western and eastern edges of the peninsula. Third, from the isoline maps of rotation, it was known that areas west of a northernmost city (Junggangjin) were substantially rotated to the west, while ones east of it to the east. For a more sophisticated analysis, some need to be done to have a larger set of control points, a better way of postulating the map projection, and a more advanced set of techniques for a local analysis.

The author argues that the current Government Information System for river water quality appears to be non-user friendly due to lack of the cartographic representation for the field monitoring data. Acknowledging these constraints, an operational, user-friendly information system has been developed by combining Internet technology with GIS. A digital map for water quality has been generated by overlaying monitoring data on existing cartographic data such as road, topography and administrative boundary etc. A user interface was designed to address the need to querry the large spatial databases by non-GIS and non-environmental experts. The system has been checked experimentally and enabled the users to querry data required simply. And detailed visual maps for water quality can be generated over large areas quickly and easily. A visual mapping system for water quality was developed by reframing the monitoring data as graphic symbols and it was ideally suited to exploring area-wide water quality at a user-friendly manner due to extensibility and scalability along the various survey points. This system based on Web GIS could be accessed anywhere if internet is available. It would play a crucial role in improving the quality of public information service if it is operationally introduced into the Government since the highly user-friendly interface provides a completely new means for disseminating information far water pollution in a visual and interactive manner to the general public.
