Esophageal cancer is a mjaor health problems in many parts of the world. A geographical information system (GIS) allows investigation of the geographical distribution of diseases. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between esophageal cancer and effective climatic factors using GIS. The dispersion distribution and the relationship between environmental factors effective on cancer were measured using Arc GIS. The highest degree of spread was in Germi town and the least was in Ardabil city. There was a significant relationship between effective environmental factors and esophageal cancer in Ardabil province. The results indicated that environmental factors probably are influential in determining the incidence of esophageal cancer. Also, these results can be considered as a window to future comprehensive research on esophageal cancer and related risk factors.

In this paper, GIS (Geographical Information System) for KODAS (Korea Distribution Automation System) will be presented. It has been developed to display the status of distribution power line facilities with background geographical map information (eg. address, street, railways and building) and provides various menu screen that can be handled easily. We will discuss computer system I/F between Host computer and GIS, DB structure for GIS and It's functions.

The wind resource potentials of South Korea are estimated as preliminary stage using the national wind map which has been being established by numerical wind simulation and GIS (Geographical Information System) exclusion analysis. The wind resource potentials are classifying into theoretical, geographical, technical and implementation potentials and the calculation results are verified by comparing to other countries' potentials. In GIS exclusion, urban, road, water body, national parks and steep slope area are excluded from onshore geographical potential while water depth and offshore distance from the shoreline are applied s offshore exclusion conditions. To estimate implementation potential, dissemination records of European countries are adopted which is about 1/8 of geographical potential.

The implementation potential of South Korea would correspond 12.5GW which is 1.7 times of the national wind energy dissemination target until 2030.

Purpose: This study utilizes the NEDIS (National Emergency Department Information System) database to suggest a predictive model for snakebite and envenomation in Korea by analyzing the geographical distribution and seasonal variation of snakebite patients visiting the ER. Methods: This was a retrospective study on snakebite patients visiting the ER using the NEDIS database from January 2014 to December 2019. The subjects include patients with the KCD (Korea Standard Classification of Disease) disease code T63.0 (Toxic effect of contact with snake venom). Geographical location, patient gender, patient age, date of ER visit, treatment during the ER stay, and disposition were recorded to analyze the geographical distribution and seasonal variation of snakebite patients in Korea. Results: A total of 12,521 patients were evaluated in this study (7,170 males, 54.9%; 5,351 females, 40.9%). The average age was 58.5±17.5 years. In all, 7,644 patients were admitted with an average admission time of 5.04±4.7 days, and 2 patients expired while admitted. The geographical distribution was Gyeongsang 3,370 (26.9%), Cheonra 2,692 (21.5%), Chungcheong 2,667 (21.3%), Seoul Capital area 1,999 (16.0%), Kangwon 1,457 (11.6%), and Jeju 336 (2.7%). The seasonal variation showed insignificant incidences in winter and higher severity in spring and summer than in fall: winter 27 (0.2%), spring 2,268 (18.1%), summer 6,847 (54.7%), and fall 3,380 (27.0%). Conclusion: Patients presenting with snakebites and envenomation in the emergency room were most common in the Gyeongsang area and during summer. The simple seasonal model predicted that 436 snakebites and 438 envenomation cases occurred in July and August. The results of this study can be applied to suitably distribute and stock antivenom. Appropriate policies can be formed to care for snakebite patients in Korea.

토양의 특성은 토지이용에 제한을 가하는 물리적 요소로 활용되고 있으며, 이러한 토양 특성정보는 전통적으로 전문가에 의한 해석에 기초하여 토양도에 서류 형태로 저장, 보관되어 왔 다. 최근에 널리 쓰이기 시작하는 토지정보체계(Geographical Information System, GIS)는 종래의 자료저장, 해석기법을 digital database라는 특성을 이용하여, 새로운 자료분석이 가능한 도구를 제공하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 위상적으로 체계화된(topologically structured) vector형 토지정 보체계의 관계형 Database Management System(DBMS)과 토양 전문가의 지식을 결합하여 포괄 적인 토양적지 평가모델을 수립한 후, 전문가에 의한 평가, 토양도에 수록된 평가와 각각 비교하 였다. 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 수립된 토양적지 평가모델은 전문가에 의한 평가와 크게 다르지 않았으며, 이는 토양도의 평가와 비교하여서도 마찬가지였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 시도된 포괄적 인 토양적지 분석모델은 계속 발전하여 토지정보체계에서의 전문가 기법으로 활용이 가능하다고 판단되어진다.

Recently, Geographical Information System (GIS) has been progressed in the fields of not only earth sciences and disaster problems, but also medical sciences, economical and social sciences. the southern region of Mid Niigata Region was attacked by intensive earthquake of M.6.8 on Richter Scale on October 23, 2004. The aim of this study was to improve efficiency of restoration operation for early victims relief. Significant issue is achieving the information processing required in restoration operation by spatial temporal information system.

지방자치단체 업무를 지원하기 위해 구축된 지리정보 활용 시스템을 UIS (Urban Information System : 도시정보시스템)라 한다. 본 논문은 각 지방자치단체가 많은 비용을 투자하여 개발한 UIS 활용을 극대화하기 위해 지방자치단체의 현장업무 중심의 UIS에 GPS와 PDA을 결합한 LBS(Location-Based Service:위치기반서비스) 시스템을 제시한다. 본 연구에서 제시된 시스템을 개발하여 활용한다면 현재 UIS의 가장 큰 문제점인 데이터베이스 유지보수 비용을 절감할 것이라 기대된다.
