One of the core keywords in the fourth industrial revolution is convergence, and the convergence of the production, distribution, and consumption processes of services is particularly important. The convergence of user services is underway in various industrial fields including mobile communications, healthcare, mobility, artificial intelligence, etc. In order to offer these converged services efficiently, it is necessary to provide accurate user-centric location information, which can be obtained by employing the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). In addition, as we have entered the post-COVID era, the demand for various fields such as a healthcare, customized tourism services, and aviation services based on accurate location information is exploding. In this paper, we present the results of a case study on the current research trends of GNSS used in telemedicine services and AI & IoT fields, and also analyze these results.

This study is on a recombination method for the construction of spatial information products which demands are unpredictably various. The present production method of digital maps is not flexible enough for their reusability because it is not object-oriented but top-down. Each spatial object needs to have particular attributes to be recombined. The demand changes the production method through the reclassification of data and changing the properties. In a user perspective, the bottom-up method can produce on-demand spatial information products including existing digital maps. The method is derived from case studies and theoretical reviews and compared with the existing production method. In the method spatial information products are reclassified by their geometry objects such as point, line, and polygon, with basic attributes, and other related domain attributes. The geometry objects and domain attributes are connected by adding new attributes for their later relationship and management, which make the recombination possible. To prove its usability of the method it is tested for current and future user demands including the national base map, thematic maps and the future spatial information products.

Hanwoo cattle are an important food source in Korea and their supply can have a major impact on meat availability for Korean consumers. The Hanwoo population was 1.8 million head in 2005 and gradually increased to 2.6 million in 2015. Per capita beef consumption has also increased, to 11.6 kg per year in 2015, and is expected to continue to increase. Because intramuscular fat percentage is a critical contributor to meat quality, Hanwoo cattle are fed a high-energy corn-based diet for long fattening periods. Long fed diet causes significant alterations in fat percentage in the loin muscle and other areas of the carcass. However, these long feeding periods increase feeding costs and beef prices. Recently, there has been increased Korean consumer demand for lean beef which has less fat, but is tender and priced more reasonably. These consumer demands on the Korean beef industry are driving differing beef production systems and also changes to the beef grading methodology. Korean government has made a significant investment to select bulls with favorable production traits using progeny testing. Progeny tested bull semen has been disseminated to all Hanwoo farmers. A beef traceability system has been employed for all cattle breeds in Korea since 2009. Hanwoo cattle are ear-marked with a 12-digit identification number from birth to slaughter. This number allows traceability of the management history of individual cattle, and also provides information to consumers. Traceability including management information such as herd, farm, year of birth, and carcass data can determine estimated breeding values of Hanwoo. For a sustainable Hanwoo industry, research scientists in Korea have attempted to develop feeds for efficient fattening periods and precision feeding systems based on genetic information for Hanwoo cattle. These initiatives aim to Korean consumer demands for beef and provide more precision management in beef production in Korea.

The demand that needs 'Digital Legacy', a notion that an Internet user can transfer his private blogs, e-mail and financial assets to inheritors and party interested when he died suddenly in the accident, has been growing recently. This issue has become a social hot potato since Justine Ellsworth's father in USA sued Yahoo for the right to access his son's Yahoo e-mail account after Justine Ellsworth had died in Iraq, in November, 2004 and the problems happened to deal with suicide-related blogs and homepages when great entertainers in Korea committed suicide and soldiers' parents in the situation of warship Chonan tragedy in Korea demanded access to soldiers' homepages and e-mail accounts. The point at issue focuses on the property matters about the digital information of the deceased and the relationship between the deceased and the Internet Service Provider(ISP). This research looks into the trend of judicial precedents and laws related to the digital information of the deceased and suggests the preliminary data of the next research.

Recently, agricultural sector apply ICT technology such as Smart Farm to pursue innovation in the changing situation that is emerging as the fourth industrial revolution. However, this innovation requires techniques for forecasting and analyzing in various data bases and spatial information provides such infrastructure data. In this study, the cultivation area of Chinese cabbage, radish, garlic, onion, and red pepper were calculated and analyzed by year. The purpose of this analysis is to cope with sudden changes in vegetable crops and changes in cultivated area caused by weather changes to supply and demand of major vegetables and price instability. As a result of this study, spatial information based on time series information of vegetable complex will be used as efficient agricultural environment observation data, as well as interpretation of various spatial ranges such as the estimation of cultivation area using remote sensing.

This study attempts to construct a model of optimal headway, focusing on a practical applicability to bus transit operation. Examining the existing bus operation and scheduling plans imposed by Busan City, we found that the plans failed to reasonably take into account such realities as varying traffic and operational conditions. The model is thus developed to derive the hourly optimal headway by routes satisfying the real-world conditions: varying hourly demand and cycle time, applying the model to routes 10 and 27 as examples. To do so, we collect big-dataset generated by smart card system and BIMS (Bus Inforamtion Management System). It is expected that the results of this study wil be a basis for further refined research in this field as well as for preparing practical timetables for bus operation.

In response to the recent 4th industrial revolution, the demand for 3D object models in the latest fields of digital twin, autonomous driving, and VR/AR, as well as the existing fields such as city, construction, transportation, and energy has increased significantly. It is expected that the demand for 3D object models with various precision from LOD1 to LOD4 will increase more and more in various industry fields. However, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the local government and the private sector have partially built 3D object models of different precisions for some specific regions because of the huge cost. Therefore, this study proposes a feasible plan that can solve the cost problem in generating 3D object models for the whole territory. For our purpose, we first analyzed usage, demand, generation technology and generation cost for 3D object models. Afterwards, we proposed LOD3 model generation plan for all territory using automatic 3D object model generation technology based on image matching. Additionally, we supplemented the proposed plan by using LOD4 generation plan for landmarks and LOD2 generation plan non-urban area. In the near future, we expect this would be a great help in establishing a feasible and effective 3D object model generation plan for the whole country.

The objective of this research is to search for measures to properly respond to the greatly increasing demands of complex information disclosure. At present, South Korea makes the deployment of records managers at public institutions mandatory through the Records Act. Records disclosure goes beyond simply deciding on the revelation and private usage of records, and requires the professionalism of institutions such as task knowledge and law-related knowledge. However, most records managers lack professionalism in the task of records disclosure despite achieving such in their regular work of managing records. As a countermeasure for such issues, this research is proposing the introduction of a series of exclusive charges in records disclosure named the Government Information Specialist, which professionally manages the records disclosure of the US government. In addition, to understand the demand of such, surveys and interviews of records managers who undertake both records management and records disclosure tasks at a South Korean public institution was also conducted.
