GIS is the tool widely used for the practical solution of spatial problems in every region regardless of the language and ideology. In this paper research trends and tendencies of GIS in North Korea are reviewed compared with those in South Korea. For this purpose, academic publications on GIS in North Korea are surveyed and classified according to main subjects in GIS. Such classification by main subjects of GIS in North Korea are conducted on the basis of the classification of research trends and tendencies of GIS in South Korea. As a result, researches in North Korea are mainly focused upon such fields as geodetic surveying and measurement, map manufacture, atmospheric phenomena, agriculture and disasters, while there are few studies related to such fields as national GIS policy and circulation, GIS education, internet-based GIS, and traffic, to name but a few. Most parts of applied data are based on low and medium resolution image such as meteorological satellite images, Landsat images, and so on. This reflects the low level of the development of GIS DB infrastructure in North Korea.

The Abandoned Mine Geographic Information System(GIS) should be established in order to prevent and restore mine damages and to revitalize the economy in abandoned mine regions. The purpose of this paper is to develop and propose a pilot system and the Abandoned Mine GIS. The basic concept for the establishment of the Abandoned Mine GIS is embodied through case studies of various countries. Gosari region in Samcheok City is selected as a sample site for a pilot system. Through construction and operation of the pilot system, a rational method and some difficulties are identified. Based on tole result of the pilot system, directions and schedules for the establishment of the Abandoned Mine GIS are presented.

This paper aims to analyze academic and technological progresses of GIS as reviewing research trends of GIS journals for which four major GIS journals, KAGIS(The Korean Association of Geographic Information Studies), KSISS(Korea Spatial Information System Society), KOGSIS(The Korean Society for Geospatial Information System), GISAK(Geographic Information System Association of Korea) have been selected. As the authors suppose that subjects of academic articles reflect academic and social demands, total 1,222 articles that have been published by the four journals from 1993 to 2006 were reviewed and analyzed by content analysis method. Because of large volumes and variety of research scopes, all topics in the papers were classified into several categories with title and keywords referenced in each paper and the categories were analyzed into 5 years period. Thus, from the analysis results, this paper asserts that research trends and academic progresses are well-structured to review recent GIS areas in Korea and the outcomes of the analysis can be an adequate guidelines to establish NGIS policies and strategies.

In the GIS literature, evaluation efforts have also been rare and unsystematic because of the difficulties in measuring impacts, and the lack of developed methodologies and evaluation criteria. Using a survey of the an ten local authorities in Korea, this research examines the benefits of using GIS and analyze the factors which affect the benefits of GIS in local authorities. Following are the major findings of this empirical research. First, most of the local authorities employees surveyed report improvements in operational and decision-making benefits. Second, factors influencing the benefits of GIS include political support and performance of the GIS system.

Over the past few decades, a considerable number of studies have been conducted on GIS(Geographic Information System) to process spatial date. As GIS comes to be used in many fields and used by many people, Web GIS which is a GIS system used on the internet, was proposed as a good tool to maintain the need. There is an increasing demand for Web GIS to provide more opportunity for users to manage and to analyze geotechnical data. This study mainly focused on the design and application of Web GIS particularly with geotechnical data, including design of efficient database structure for borehole data. A practical application of the Web GIS to tunnelling site has been successfully completed by the design of several analytical functions.

Urban residential area, one of the main subjects of urban and architectural studies, can be analyzed accurately and rapidly with CIS. (Geographic Information System) And the applications of GIS in urban studies are too macro to be explained in architectural terms and the ones in architectural studies are not so much active rather be used as a secondary means. So the studies in urban-architectural scale are very useful in many ways. This study explores urban-architectural possibilities of analytic capabilities of GIS through the analysis of spatial characteristics of residential area in terms of land price according to parcel attributes. It is found, firstly, that the parcel attributes have relations with land price and its distribution patterns. Secondly, it is verified that the visualization capability of GIS can be a very useful method of analysis through user-interface effects in urban-architectural scaled analysis.

It is possible to design a strategy for expanding the applications of GIS by identifying why social science researchers use GIS. This study analyses motivating factors for the researchers to utilize GIS and their satisfying factors towards the result. It is based on survey results which was answered by social science researchers at national research institutes and local governmental research institutes in South Korea in the perspective of merits of applying GIS, level of GIS usability and experienced effectiveness of applying GIS. Analysis result reveals that motivating factors to researchers applying GIS are correlated with efficiency in their research and satisfying factors are correlated to the usability. Then, we induced a fact that motivative factors for applying GIS is not related to the satisfaction of that. It may be a reason which researchers use GIS less applying in social science fields. As a result, it is necessary to connect the motivating and satisfying factors to further expand GIS applications.

기존의 연안해역과 관련된 업무를 담당하는 사용자는 물론 일반사용자들에게도 연안해역에 대한 정보를 공급하기 위해서는 사용자들이 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 인터넷환경을 이용하는 것이 가장 효율적이다. 본 연구에서는 인천연안해역에 대해서 구축된 GIS 데이터베이스와 시스템을 다양한 사용자 계층에게 서비스하기 위하여 Web 상에서 연안해역 GIS 데이터를 조회, 공유, 분석할 수 있는 Web GIS를 구축하였다. 연안해역 관련 GIS 구축의 근본적인 목적은 많은 사용자들이 연안해역과 관련된 데이터를 공유, 분석하고 연안해역 환경에 대한 정책결정의 참고자료로서 활용하는 것이다. 따라서 다양한 사용자들이 이용할 수 있는 연안해역 데이터베이스와 시스템에 대한 연구가 필요하였다 Web GIS는 GIS S/W의 구매 비용을 절감할 수 있고 복잡한 사용법이 없어도 GIS의 기본적인 기능인 데이터의 검색, 분석, 출력이 가능하다는 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 단기적인 GIS 데이터의 공유와 인터넷서비스가 아닌 지속적인 연안해역에 대한 GIS 데이터의 갱신과 활용, 환경 및 수질관련 모델링의 이용과 통합시스템의 구현, 구축데이터의 유통을 목적으로 서해연안 Web GIS를 설계하였고 그 활용도를 검토하였다.

The horizon of using GIS technologies can be expanded to analyzing spatial changes by time in reality. Traditional GIS technologies usually use maps for a snapshot aspect of spatial information. Limitations of the present GIS technologies in terms of dealing with spatial changes require more solutions for collecting, processing and analyzing spatial data with time. Traditional GIS technologies include Temporal GIS, Real-time GIS and Virtual GIS respectively but those are not capable enough to represent spatial change in an overall perspective. By reflecting dynamic changes the current GIS technologies can be more useful and valuable than before. This study assumes that '4D GIS', a composite of temporal, realtime and virtual GIS technology, will open a new horizon for the future sophisticated GIS applications. By identifying a technology application model for 4D GIS the new concept of 4D GIS can be clarified. The model is established by combining dynamic spatial information types and applicable 4D GIS technologies, which are identified from the most current 4D application and research efforts. The technology application model for 4D GIS can be expected to contribute to efficient in planning for 4D GIS technology development in the future.he future.
