The primary goal of the database design is to organize a large amount of data effectively in users and systems view point. Effective design of a database is very important for processing applications efficiently. In this paper, we discuss database design for an urban geographic information system that effectively maintains the cadastral and planimetric information. We first collect and analyze the requirements for the target urban geographic information system and then perform database design for these requirements. Our database design is based on the object-oriented approach that has rich expressive power and good reusability in comparison with the traditional relational approach. Especially, we employ the OMT, one of the most widely-used object-oriented models. We expect that our result would be helpful in building large databases for urban geographic information systems practically.

The main purpose of this study is to identify urban spatial structure by applying geographic information system and remote sensing data. This study identifies the urban spatial structure of non-megalopolis by analyzing the spatial distribution of population and employment in the case of Daegu metropolitan area. For this purpose, multi-temporal satellite image data (Landsat TM; 1995, 2000 and 2005) were utilized through the geographic information system. The distance-decay estimations in terms of population and employment density show that Daegu region as a whole shows monocentric urban characteristics. However, some evidences of polycentricism such as low explanation power of monocentric urban model, rises in multiple employment centers, decentralization of employment are emerging.

The purpose of this study is to develop an urban inundation model using GIS(geographic information system). The model is combining a storm sewer system model and a overland-flow model for the estimation inundation depth in urban area caused by the surcharge of storm sewers. SWMM(storm water management model) was employed to resolve the storm sewer flow and to provide the overflow hydrographs caused by the failure of a drainage system due to the shortage of drainage capacity. The level-pool overland-flow model and DEM based overland-flow model were used to calculate the detail inundation zones and depths due to the surcharge on overland surface. The simulation results can help the decision preventing flood damages by redesigning and enlarging the capacities of storm sewer systems in the inundation-prone areas. The model can also be applied to make the potential inundation area map and establish flood-mitigation measures as a part of the decision support system for flood control authority.

Recently, there has been growing interest in public participation GIS (Geographic Information System) technology that enables spontaneous public response to increasingly frequent flood and drought events. Accordingly, social and economic demands are increasing on portal services that are designed to help cope with natural hazards such as earthquakes. By focusing on a specific hazard, urban flood, this study designed a prototype of a disaster response portal and its service system. The community map developed in this study is focused on prevention and mitigation of the urban flood damage by analyzing the vulnerable areas, and providing effective means to inspect the roads and sewer systems. By considering the compatibility with VGI (Volunteered Geographic Information) portals, the study created a system environment by employing universally used open-source software programs such as Apache Tomcat, GeoServer, GeoNetwork, and PostgreSQL/PostGIS.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the way of analyzing land uses to utilize GIS in the field of urban planning. The Saga Land Information System was built in early 1990s. The building data were inputted by house investigation map(1/1,000) using digitizer. And urban planning basis investigation data in 1994 were utilized as the attribute data. Also, by calculating specialization factor, we distinct the characteristic of every land use of the city, and it compares every land use zone. This study calculated and compared an observation frequency and an expectation frequency of every building use and land use zone. We found that the use of the building tend to be controlled and guided by the land use zone.

This study was carried out to evaluate urban environmental structure in Taegu metropolitan region(TMR) with factor analysis, fuzzy set theory, geostatistic and geographic information system(GIS). The factor analysis could choose the representative one out of multiple variables and simplify the evaluation of the urban environmental structure. The fuzzy approach is an attempt to model an aspect of human thinking previously neglected; it starts from the premise that humans don't represent classes of objects as fully disjoint but rather as sets where transitions from membership to non-membership is gradual. The Geographic Information System(GIS) could connect attributes of factor scores derived from factor analysis to digital map by a method so called 'Spatial join'. The results obtained were as follows: Urbanization appearance was concentrated in the large cities, and this appearance was partial extremely, therefore, there has been a structural gap between urban area and agricultural area which was unified into the urban area. All inclinations didn't become worse after sudden urbanization. For example, suburban agriculture was developed as a large scale in the region near the large cities. Then it encouraged farmers in changing their old cultivating methods to the latest ones. But many districts in urban fringe had symptom of urbanization, the districts which were located between large cities have been developed gradually because of urban sprawl, and played a role in connecting each city. Therefore, due to the urbanization, forestry area and agricultural land, well conserved in the agricultural town, could be easily destroyed. In a different way with the urbanization of the Seoul metropolitan region, that of TMR was centralized upon the center of each city, and it was also very partial. But, because so many regions have the potentiality of urbanization, hereafter, the urbanization process in each region is likely to be different multifariously according to the urban management methods.

GIS is essential to regional development and management in informatization age. But utilization of GIS in Korea remains still elementary area of automated mapping or facility management. In this paper, we suggest executable principles that are able to enhance and improve the efficiency of regional development affairs using GIS DB. In order to accomplish the role of planning support tool, GIS DB have to be plentiful geographic contents. Metadata DB, user-friendly application interface and compatibility of data between the public and the private must be constructed in GIS DB. And geographic information should be shared between the public and the private.

The purposes of this paper are to review the shifts and changes in urban planning environment, and to grasp how the new 'National and Urban Planning Law' accommodates these changes. In order to accomplish proposed schemes, I suggest that the following three details should be considered for the proper way of Urban Planning Information System(UPIS) from the beginning stage. First, new techniques are required to realize the new concepts in 'National and Urban Planning Law' with GIS and constructed DB by NGIS, as planning support systems. Second, the status of UPIS rises to the highest status among land-related information systems. Third, to adapt the UPIS to the decision support system, the restructuring of urban planning itself should be proceeded under considering the changes of concepts, paradigms and techniques.

In several years, the geographic information system has been being applied into various departments, i.e. estate, transportation, prevention against disasters, agriculture, environment, etc. Especially, it is very useful for us to manage the infrastructures of urban transit which are scattered and located in the vast areas of city. But, in the 2D geographic information system, it is impossible to manage the various inner facilities of stations which are in the same spatial location on GIS. Then, the 3D station management system has been developed for the efficient management of station facilities in urban transit. Through this system, from the virtual cyberspace of station on PC, we can move and go to any places of station we want without going to the station fields. So, we can manage the various information of location information, basis information, maintenance information about the inner facilities such as architectural structures, machinery facilities, electronic equipments. And, this system is also connected with the drawings and technical documents in each facilities. So, we're sure, this system will improve the efficiency of maintenance work and information management of stations.
