Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a serious public health problem in the Northeast of Thailand. CCA is considered to be an incurable and rapidly lethal disease. Knowledge of the distribution of CCA patients is necessary for management strategies. Objectives: This study aimed to utilize the Geographic Information System and Google $Earth^{TM}$ for distribution mapping of cholangiocarcinoma in Satuek District, Buriram, Thailand, during a 5-year period (2008-2012). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study data were collected and reviewed from the OPD cards, definitive cases of CCA were patients who were treated in Satuek hospital and were diagnosed with CCA or ICD-10 code C22.1. CCA cases were used to analyze and calculate with ArcGIS 9.2, all of data were imported into Google Earth using the online web page www.earthpoint.us. Data were displayed at village points. Results: A total of 53 cases were diagnosed and identified as CCA. The incidence was 53.57 per 100,000 population (65.5 for males and 30.8 for females) and the majority of CCA cases were in stages IV and IIA. The average age was 67 years old. The highest attack rate was observed in Thung Wang sub-district (161.4 per 100,000 population). The map display at village points for CCA patients based on Google Earth gave a clear visual deistribution. Conclusions: CCA is still a major problem in Satuek district, Buriram province of Thailand. The Google Earth production process is very simple and easy to learn. It is suitable for the use in further development of CCA management strategies.

Google Maps have changed the response time of Web-GIS using AJAX technologies. In addition, Google released the Open API named Google Maps API(Application Programming Interface) and it lead to the big paradigm on the Open API, where the SDK(Software Development Kit) and ASP(Application Service Provider) had ruled at the related map market. In short, the Open API has been paradigm-shifting for the web mapping. After this, government, many companies and open source foundations have guided Web-GIS market's growth through releasing the relevant Open APIs. So many comparative analysis on web-mapping API carried out by many researches. However there were no researches that can be applied to our current domestic environments. This paper investigates components of web-mapping API. Then we compare how many components supported and enumerate features for each of those APIs. Finally this paper presents direction of future development of Web Mapping API.

Chinease-Korean Cultural Map, which is an electronic cultural map that shows Chinese-Korean culture on maps, is planned as the first step to development Asian Electronic Cultural Map. Chinese-Korean have their unique cultural characteristics same as other small tribes. Small tribes shows same typical cultural characteristics of Asian, and that characteristics are very important factors for understanding the whole Asian culture. This paper proposes a logical and standardized development methodology for construction of Electronic Cultural Map. The methodology consists of 6 steps; information analysis, keyword extraction, keyword clustering, map element extraction, prototype design, and map development. We used and evaluated the methodology during prototype design and development steps for the optimal functions. To generate the base maps for Chinese-Korean Cultural Map, we use Google Earth and KML(Keyhole Markup Language) for standardized and easy development.

In this study, we propose a emotion sharing system that is sharing users emotion change according to the location of the user where users was shared his emotion information and to the emotion. The system consists of a emotion sharing server and mobile smartphone apps. Emotion smartphone app represent status of emotion and location of users who wants to share emotion at map services based the Google Map API. Emotion sharing server was implemented using a RESTful way to allow emotion sharing between different variety platform besides mobile platforms. Emotion information that is exchanged on a emotion sharing server is stored in an XML fromat. We were confirm emotion sharing system that it could be sharing moving emotion change according to the user's location through map service.

Map rendering, positioning, database managements are key elements of location based services. Google map and GPS (Global Positioning System) have become a very popular solution for map rendering and positioning, respectively. They are very effective and yet free of charge. However, they cannot be used for an indoor location based service system. We cannot render a building drawing with Google map, we cannot determine a moving object's position when it is indoor. This paper introduces our web services of rendering drawings, indoor positioning, and multimedia contents up-loading and playing so that any programmers can use them in developing indoor location based service systems. In order to experimentally show the efficiency of our web services, we have built a location based contents displaying system for museum visitors with them.

현재 서울시 내에는 수많은 공공조형예술품들이 있다. 하지만 시민들은 그것들이 어디에 위치하고 있는지 쉽게 파악 할 수 없는 실정이며, 그에 따라 공공조형예술품들을 즐길 기회 또한 잃고 있다. 그래서 Web2.0 및 Mash-Up을 활용한 Web Portal Site를 구축하여 그것들에 대한 위치정보를 제공해 줄 뿐만 아니라, 시인들의 의견을 수렴하여 관리 및 유지보수 측면 등의 의사결정에 직접적으로 참여할 수 있는 Web 공간을 구축하였다. 기본적으로 서울시에서 파악하고 있는 공공조형예술품들에 대한 DB를 제공하고 또한 사용자가 정보를 입력하는 인터페이스를 통하여 기존 DB에 없는 정보를 추가함으로써 관리자 및 사용자가 쌍방향으로 DB를 구축하게 된다. DB를 바탕으로 Naver Map 및 Google Map 을 활용한 공공조형예술품들의 위치를 나타내는 지도를 제공한다. 그리고 입력된 DB를 바탕으로 예술품들의 행정구역별 수량 및 각 예술품 종류별 수량 등의 통계적 자료를 추출하여 제시하고, 사용자는 입력되어 있는 예술품들에 대한 평가 및 관리 보수 등의 의견을 제시하여 서울시 내의 공공조형예술품에 관한 의사결정에 의견을 제시할 수 있다. 본 연구물의 결과로 기대 할 수 있는 효과는 도시 재생 및 도시 계획 재정립에 있어 사용자 참여 유도 및 참고적 역할을 할 수 있고, 도시 내 조형예술품들에 대한 정보 제공의 기점 역할을 하여, 관광객 유치 및 도시 문화사업의 도움이 될 수 있다.

As GeoWeb 2.0 technologies are widely used, various kinds of services that mashup spatial data and user data are being developed. In particular, various spatial information platforms such as Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, Daum Map, Naver Map, olleh Map, and VWorld based on GeoWeb 2.0 technologies support mashup service. The mashup service which is supported through the Open APIs of the platforms, provides various kinds of spatial data such as 2D map, 3D map, and aerial image. Also, application fields using the mashup service are greatly expanded. Recently, as user data for mashup have been greatly increased, there was a problem in mashup performance. However, the research on the mashup performance improvement is currently insufficient, even the research on the mashup performance comparison of various platforms has not been performed. In this paper, we perform comparative analysis of the mashup performance for large amounts of user data and spatial data using various spatial information platforms available in Korea. Specifically, we propose two performance analysis indexes of mashup time and user interaction time in order to analyze the mashup performance efficiently. Also, we implement a system for the performance analysis. Finally, from the performance analysis result, we propose a spatial information platform that can be efficiently applied to cases when user data increases greatly and user interaction occurs frequently.

Recently, many companies offer various web-based map that is based on GIS(Geographic Information System) information. Google Map, Open street, Bing Map, Naver Map, Daum Map, Vwolrd Map, etc are the few examples of such system. In this paper, we propose a method to visualize ocean forecasting model data considering the flow diagram of tidal current, streamline expression algorithm, and user convenience by using vector field data information that is currently being served. It is confirmed that the proposed method of the flow diagram of tidal current, and stream line expression algorithm is faster than that of conventional ocean prediction model data by more than 2 times.

This paper presents direction for efficient software education. Due to the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the whole world is interested in software education. However, simply teaching how to code is not software education. The thinking abilities used in coding for software implementation are even more important. Therefore, computational thinking is getting great attention. Several institutions suggest factors for computational thinking and encourage to teach in a relevant way based on the suggestion. In this study, the verification of the factors they suggested was conducted through a questionnaire. The total of 419 freshman students of the College of Social Sciences who were taking "Computational Thinking and Software Coding" class participated in the survey at the beginning and the end of the semester. We first analyzed Wing's proposal that summarized the concept of computational thinking, and reviewed the proposal of ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) for defining computational thinking factors for coding education, also checked on the suggestion of Google for factors necessary for software coding. As a result of research analysis, this paper suggests a direction for efficient software education.
