In order to efficiently promote a nation's National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) vision, it is important that a rational NSDI promotion system should be established. For such a NSDI promotion system, cooperation among the related organizations and the consistency of policies are crucial. In these regards, the main purpose of this research is to suggest a desirable model for the NSDI promotion system. Also, this study attempts to demonstrate problems and provide solutions in Korea NSDI promotion system. To accomplish this purpose, the literature reviews and content analysis were used. Following are the major findings of this research. First, a desirable NSDI promotion system should be consisted of the upper system (at the planning level) and the lower system (at the executive or implementing level). Second, the upper and lower system in NSDI promotion system should both be vertically connected and be horizontally connected. Third, the upper system should consist of the NSDI promotion committee, civil advisory committee, and sub-committee. Fourth, the lower system for the execution purposes of NSDI projects should consist of the NSDI top manager, in each central/local government, and professional support institute.

The fast moving technology generally left policy practitioners fumble in formulating their responses. The country like India on one hand marches ahead with the pace of technology at the same time the country also faces the policy that may be considered by many not conducive for the growth of the technology. The paper will detail the existing policy scenario the new mapping policy, the efforts regarding NSDI and the policies pertaining to GPS. The paper will attempt to assess the implications of the same on the growth of geomatics technology.

The NSDI concept has changed with the development of the NSDI. While the NSDI was initially established as a separate entity, recently more attention has been given to the SDI hierarchy, from a local level to a global level. As an advanced NSDI, the USA, the UK and Canada emphasize more on better citizen services through an e-Government GIS portal such as the USA's Geospatial One-Stop. This study hypothesizes that the characteristics of NSDIs can be different from each nation in terms of vision, structure, evolution stages and a degree of integration with the e-Government. Rather than to describe differences just fur comparison, more characteristics of NSDIs are identified and the comparisons are developed as recommendations for the future NGIS(National Geographic Information System) in Korea.

The evaluation systems on the National Spatial Information Policy(NSIP) has been changed, since the Establishment and Use of the National Geographic Information System Act(NGIS Act, 2000) was abolished and the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Act(NSDI Act, 2009) was enacted. As compared to the NGIS Act, the policy evaluation systems for National Spatial Information are regarded as unified and centralized. However, some argue that the claim of budget and the legal feasibility of the NSIP was weakened. Given the different views on the two laws, this study aims at analyzing the changes in the evaluation system by comparing the NGIS Act and the NSDI Act. A Comparative Analysis framework is employed. The subjects of the comparative analysis are evaluation mechanism, evaluator, evaluation target and range, after-assessment utilization, and agent. In order to improve the effectiveness of the evaluation system, it is recommended that the clarification of evaluation purposes, institutional enhancement for evaluation agency, the development of evaluation indexes, the combination of top-down approach and bottom -up approach, and the increased linkage between budget and evaluation result.

Recently, as GIS industry has substantially grown up, convergence between industries such as the application coverage of surveying and cadastral information is gradually on the increase. The new approach of convergence between topographic surveying and cadastral survey is indispensable to make the change of geospatial environment ready and to maximize the utilization of National Spatial Data Infrastructure(NSDI). The purpose of this paper is to seek the way of synergistic improvement in topographic surveying and cadastral survey in comprehensive aspects of national geospatial information. First, we reviewed policy environment to clearly establish aim of convergence and promising perspective of GIS industry policy, considering NSDI. In addition, we examined current state of administration (organization, human resource, service) and institution situation. We came up with interior ability and external policy environment as well as critical success factor for the synergistic convergence by using SWOT analysis. Lastly, we developed basic perspective of convergence and improvement model and concrete scheme for stakeholder to complementary make progress. We can come to conclusion that the convergence of topographic surveying and cadastral survey should be not only carried in macro outline of successful NSDI but also committed to completion and maintenance of GIS framework.

In this paper the key drivers change for cadastral organizations have been presented according to the following aspects; Geo-ICT development including positioning technology, government's public organization innovation policy, cadastral market opening pressure and decreasing of cadastral survey work. It was confirmed that the role of cadastral organization has to be changed from the conducting cadastral survey organization to the spatial information provision organization. Eventually it should take a role to realize Spatially Enabled Society(SES) which is fundamental for national development and upgrading quality of life in the society. From the case study of international cadastral organization, cadastral organization should take core responsibility for the Nation Spatial Data Infrastructure(NSDI) and meeting the future costumers requirements through technical developments and organization's innovation efforts.

In this study the infrastructure of PKIMS(ParK Information Management System) was constructed based on SDI(Spatial Data Infrastructure) not only to provide the consistent spatial information of the space called park but also to share the latest information so that administrative officers could make people satisfied for their information request and promote consistent policy for the park management. PKIMS was developed by integrating with SDI for all life cycle of spatial data such as the data generation, use and share so that the efficiency and executive of administrative services could be acquired. Moreover, this construction of successful application system based on SDI would be the very good sample for implementation of NSDI(National Spatial Data Infrastructure).

Korean government has conducted National Geographic Information System(NGIS) project since 1995. The NGIS was set up and directed by central government to stimulate the growth of GIS field in Korea. Thanks to the project, all aspects of GIS in Korea has been rapidly developed. However, this government-led strategy now reveals some limitations on the advancement of GIS in Korea It is time to prepare new approaches for the further development of GIS in Korea. This study aims at introducing the concept and model of National Spatial Data Infrastructure(NSDI) and suggesting strategies fir it. By doing so, this research attempts to reestablish the role of government and draws new policy directions for the NGIS.

Local governments' spatial information policies are very important in that it can increase the relatedness to upper policy regarding the share, openness and converged utilization of spatial information and contribute to voluntary participation and creative uses linked to big data. However, local governments' spatial information policies require enhancement since it need to update framework spatial data, to derive spatial information service and to share the data. In this research, we compared the spatial information policies and related systems of central and local governments, and analyzed the local governments' spatial information policy enforcement plans and the Seoul metropolitan government's utilization survey on 32 spatial information systems. In the result, for the improvement of local governments' spatial policies, on-demand updating of base map using the as built drawings linked to field work departments, securing up-to-date public domain spatial information through the NSDI system, sharing of spatial information based on the spatial information platform and benchmarking of best practices related to the spatial information based policy participation are suggested.

The concept of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) has emerged globally to facilitate the transit of spatial information from data producers to a vast and ever-growing community of users. SDI have become very important in determining the way in which spatial data are used throughout an organization, a nation, different regions, and the world. SDI is an initiative intended to create an environment in which all stakeholders can cooperate with each other and interact with technology, to better achieve their objectives at different political / administrative levels. Islamic Republic of Iran began her participation in the Global map project and SDI activities in 1998. In this related, National Cartographic Center (NCC), as the representative of Iran, started the job with identifying the suitable sources of data for creation of those layers stated in the specifications of Global Mapping. NCC started making GIS Users Councils (National & Provincial Councils) for the making National SDI and Local SDI too. Now, NCC is doing some activities to joining its National SDI to Regional and Global SDI. This paper in first section, discuss about SDI as basic point in Information Technology (IT). In second section, SDI situation in IRAN and National Cartographic Center’s roles in realization of future scope of RSDI and GSDI is discussed. (NCC is one of the greatest Map Producer organizations in IRAN). The way that be applied, is analyzing of fundamental points especially Sustainable development, IT and SDI and their complementing policy in Information Society. These include some applications in National, Regional and Global levels.
