Due to the rapid advance in web and mobile computing technologies, normal users have become to produce, provide, and share a varied form of spatial data and information. In the domain of spatial information, numerous researches on GIS have been conducted to provide spatial information services based on a geo-sensor network and a data integration and processing technology. However, to provide user-oriented information, a context information model is necessary to associate GIS data with web and sensor data. Context awareness services is designed to provide specific information, minimizing users' interference. For which, the context information model expresses the relationship of various data from sensor networks and mobile applications and provides a user-specific information considering location and area of interest. Thus, this research aims to develops a context information model based air-pollution information system that obtains and analyses air pollution data and reflects the analysis results on an air-pollution policy. Also, this system aims to raise citizens' awareness on air-pollution and to promote citizens' participatory to improve city's air quality.

At present, monitoring programmes for green network have been mainly based on field sampling, which relies on attributes of an area at one point in time, reflecting an emphasis on the small number of in-situ data. One of the major disadvantages of traditional field monitoring is that it is costly, laborious and time consuming due to the large number of samples required. The aim of this research was to evaluate green network based on pixel of Landsat TM satellite image. An empirical study for a case study site was conducted to demonstrate how a standard remote sensing technology can be used to assist in monitoring the green network based on pixel. The pixel-based analysis made it possible to identify area-wide patterns of green network subject to many different type of artificial structures, which cannot be acquired by traditional field sampling. It was demonstrated that the degradation trends of green network could be used effectively as an indicator to restrict further development of the sites since the quantitative data generated from remote sensing can present area-wide visual evidences by permanent record. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference to support more scientific and objective decision-making in monitoring green network.

Tropospheric parameters, in the form of Total Zenith Delay (TZD) corrections, were estimated with the current GPS network of Korea. We estimated the TZD using the Korea Astronomy Observatory GPS Network of nine permanent stations. About four years of data were processed to get the continuous time series of the TZD. The longest time series is obtained from the site DAEJ, which has been in operation for about 10 years. We analyzed the seasonal and annual signals in the TZD estimates at DAEJ and spatial correlations among eight sites.

Recently, a new distributed grid scheme, called DS-GRID(distributed S-GRID), has been proposed to manage the location information of moving objects in a spatial network[1]. However, because DS-GRID uses uniform grid cells, it cannot handle skewed data which frequently occur in the real application. To solve this problem, we propose a dynamic distributed grid scheme which splits a grid cell dynamically based on the density of moving objects. In addition, we propose a k-nearest neighbor processing algorithm for the proposed scheme. Finally, it is shown from the performance analysis that our scheme achieves better retrieval and update performance than the DS-GRID when the moving objects are skewed.

In many applications, received signal strength indicator is used for location tracking and sensor nodes localization. For location finding, the distances between sensor nodes can be estimated by converting received signal's power into distance using path loss prediction model. Many researches have done the analysis of power-distance relationship for radio channel characterization. In indoor environment, the general conclusion is the non-linear variation of RSSI values as distance varied linearly. This has been one of the difficulties for indoor localization. This paper presents works on indoor RSSI characterization based on statistical methods to find the overall trend of RSSI variation at different places and times within the same room From experiments, it has been shown that the variation of RSSI values can be determined by both spatial and temporal factors. This two factors are directly indicated by the two main parameters of path loss prediction model. The results show that all sensor nodes which are located at different places share the same characterization value for the temporal parameter whereas different values for the spatial parameters. Using this relationship, the characterization for location estimation can be more efficient and accurate.

본 연구에서는 한강유역 내 관측기간이 충분한 기상청 지상관측소 10개소를 선정하고 CCCma(Canadian Century for Climate modeling and analysis)에서 제공하는 자료에 대한 인공신경망기법 상세화 적용을 실시하였다. 인공신경망의 학습을 위해 CGCM3.1/T63 20C3M시나리오(reference scenario)의 22개 2D변수 중 물리적으로 민감도가 높다고 판단되는 GCM_Prec, huss, ps를 입력변수로 선정하였으며 인공신경망 학습기간은 1991년~1995년, 검증기간은 1996년~2000년, 예측기간은 2011년~2100년으로 A1B, A2 B1 시나리오 등 다양한 기후변화 시나리오를 통해 예측band를 제시하고자 하였다. 하지만 공간상관을 고려하기 위하여 각 관측소에 대하여 인공신경망 학습을 하는 경우 관측소간 spatial correlation 및 spatial cluster구현이 어렵기 때문에 Spatial Rectangular Pulse모형을 이용하고자 하였으나, 강수면적에 대한 scale의 결정이 어렵다는 단점을 확인 하고 본 연구에서는 Random Cascade 모형을 이용하여 ${\beta}$를 통한 강수면적 scale(rainy area fraction)을 결정하고자 하였다. Random Cascade모형의 기법은 격자단위의 downscaling기법으로 강수대의 공간적 형상을 재현하며 스케일에 비종속적인(scale-invariant)프랙탈 특성을 이용하여 매개변수를 최소화 할 수 있는 장점을 가진 기법으로 한강유역 1Km내외 강우장을 만들어 topographic effect를 첨가하고자 한다.

Recently, k-farthest neighbor (kFN) queries have not as much attention as k-nearest neighbor (kNN) queries. Therefore, this study considers moving k-farthest neighbor (MkFN) queries for spatial network databases. Given a positive integer k, a moving query point q, and a set of data points P, MkFN queries can constantly retrieve k data points that are farthest from the query point q. The challenge with processing MkFN queries in spatial networks is to avoid unnecessary or superfluous distance calculations between the query and associated data points. This study proposes a batch processing algorithm, called MOFA, to enable efficient processing of MkFN queries in spatial networks. MOFA aims to avoid dispensable distance computations based on the clustering of both query and data points. Moreover, a time complexity analysis is presented to clarify the effect of the clustering method on the query processing time. Extensive experiments using real-world roadmaps demonstrated the efficiency and scalability of the MOFA when compared with a conventional solution.

Three dimensional urban models are being increasingly applied for various purposes such as city planning, telecommunication cell planning, traffic analysis, environmental monitoring and disaster management. In recent years, technologies from CAD and GIS are being merged to find optimal solutions in three dimensional modeling of urban buildings. These solutions include modeling of the interior building space as well as its exterior shape visualization. Research and development effort in this area has been performed by scientists and engineers from Computer Graphics, CAD and GIS. Computer Graphics and CAD focussed on precise and efficient visualization, where as GIS emphasized on topology and spatial analysis. Complementary research effort is required for an effective model to serve both visualization and spatial analysis purposes. This study presents an efficient way of using the CAD plans included in the building register documents to reconstruct the internal space of buildings. Topological information was built in the geospatial database and merged with the geometric information of CAD plans. as well as other attributal data from the building register. The GIS network modeling method introduced in this study is expected to enable an effective 3 dimensional spatial analysis of building interior which is developing with increasing complexity and size.

This study analyzes the network structure of the Metropolitan Seoul subway system by applying complex network analysis methods. For the purpose, we construct the Metropolitan Seoul subway system as a network graph, and then calculate various indices introduced in complex network analysis. Structural characteristics of Metropolitan Seoul subway network are discussed by these indices. In particular, this study determines the shortest paths between nodes based on the weighted distance (physical and time distance) as well as topological network distance, since urban travel movements are more sensitive for them. We introduce an accessibility measurement based on the shortest distance both in terms of physical distance and network distance, and then compare the spatial structure between two. Accessibility levels of the system have been getting up overall, and thus the accessibility gaps have been getting lessen between center located subway stops and remote ones during the last 10 years. Passenger traffic volumes are explored from real passenger transaction databases by utilizing data mining techniques, and mapped by GIS. Clear differences reveal between the spatial patterns of real passenger flows and accessibility. That is, passenger flows of the Metropolitan Seoul subway system are related with population distribution and land use around subway stops as well as the accessibility supported by the subway network.

The exceptional development of electronic device technology, the miniaturization of mobile devices, and the development of telecommunication technology has made it possible to monitor human biometric data anywhere and anytime by using different types of wearable or embedded sensors. In daily life, mobile devices can collect wireless body area network (WBAN) data, and the co-collected location data is also important for disease analysis. In order to efficiently analyze WBAN data, including location information and support medical analysis services, we propose a geohash-based spatial index method for a location-aware WBAN data monitoring system on the NoSQL database system, which uses an R-tree-based global tree to organize the real-time location data of a patient and a B-tree-based local tree to manage historical data. This type of spatial index method is a support cloud-based location-aware WBAN data monitoring system. In order to evaluate the proposed method, we built a system that can support a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and Binary JSON (BSON) document data on mobile gateway devices. The proposed spatial index method can efficiently process location-based queries for medical signal monitoring. In order to evaluate our index method, we simulated a small system on MongoDB with our proposed index method, which is a document-based NoSQL database system, and evaluated its performance.
