Using the case of Taegu city, this study analyses benefits and costs related to the construction of GIS to local government. For this purpose, the study uses a case study selecting Taegu Metropolitan city. In this study, four discount rates(5%, 8%, 10%, 12%) are used for sensitivity analyses. According to this benefit-cost analysis, Taegu city government could get positive net present benefits from the year of 2004 which is 6 years after its GIS construction. This a result, Provides the economical and financial validity of GIS Construition in local government. In this study, analysis of invisible benefits are excluded. If these invisible and potential benefits are included in the analysis, GIS could produce more net benefits and the even break point of GIS construction in local governments will come earlier. For the further study, the study needs to develop new benefits and utilize cost-effectiveness analysis to catch these invisible benefits.

One of the biggest problems found from the results of the various GIS-related projects is this. In spite of the fact that there is a national standards on GIS data structures, in building and managing the information on a variety of facilities in an area, each of the concerned organizations has been building the information using their own standards on the selection and organizations of the target facilities, naming convention, and coding regulations of the selected facilities. This distinctively exposes the limits and problems of the national GIS data standards in adopting to the regional GIS projects, resulting in considerable problems in sharing the information already built. The national GIS data standards, therefore, should be expanded and revised. As an effort to solve the above-mentioned problems, this paper suggests an idea on the revision and expansion of the national GIS data standards in the field of road and related facilities. It is believed that same efforts should be made for the other areas of the national GIS data standards to increase the applicability to various GIS projects.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the components to be considered when we construct the integrated GIS. Capability has always to be related to application. In this perspective, the range of integrated GIS's capabilities is more extensive than this existing GIS. Using in the case of Japan's local government, when we want to build the integrated GIS, it is necessary to consider the following things. First, the overall manuals are required. Second, the common spatial database should be build to satisfy outsider user as well as inner user. And last, the chief of local government should gain the sympathy of the member of community.

Recently, with the development of collecting methods of spatial data, the spatial data is produced, circulated, and used in various fields of industry and research. To manage the mass spatial data efficiently, the researches on extension of the existing commercial DBMS, such as ESRI's ArcSDE or Oracle's Oracle Spatial, is making progress actively. However, the usage of the extension of the commercial DBMS Incurs an additional expense and causes an interoperability problem due to differences in spatial data types and spatial operators. Therefore, in this paper, we developed an OpenGIS Spatial Interface for Oracle, which supports a standard interface by fellowing the "Simple Features Specification for SQL" proposed by OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium). Since the OpenGIS Spatial Interface provides all spatial data types and spatial operators proposed in "Simple Features Specification for SQL", users can manage mass spatial data of Oracle efficiently by using the standard interface without additional expense. In addition, we proved that the OpenGIS Spatial Interface is superior to the Oracle Spatial in the response time through the performance evaluation.

There are not enough information and service in current e-government practice because it only relier on text based information services. To make e-government more attractive and successful, scope of information and service should be broaden. To do so, GIS is necessary in the development process of e-government. This paper aims at exploring theories and technologies related to e-government and suggesting strategies for developing GIS based local e-government. In this paper, we particularly pay attention to the role of GIS for local e-government. Since many of local government data has spatial components, we believe that GIS would play a crucial role in developing local e-government. Thus, this paper tries to examine how GIS contribute to successful implementation of e-government. Then, it attempts to build a developmental model for GIS based e-government. Finally, it suggests strategies and policy measures for each development stage.

Most of GIS services have been operated in single applications, and as data processing and computer and mobile technologies have developed rapidly, users request for efficient sharing between each GIS's own data and various different GIS's. However, since many GIS applications maintain their own data formats, they are incapable of processing data formats different with each other, and do not have a filtering function for mobile GIS. This paper designs an integrated preprocessor, SMP to accept features of various current formats of geographic information such as DXF(Drawing eXchange Format), DWG(DraWinG), SHP(SHaPefile), etc., and to extract core information for describing maps. The geographic information extracted by SMP(Synthetic Map Preprocessor) shows consistency in various formats by visualizing through the integrated view. By generating the extracted core data in GML, it supports rapid access to mobile devices and extensibility of file formats overcoming heterogeneity.

This study is conducted to eveluate the potential of a GIS to assist an application problem. GIS has been applied to rainfall-runoff modeling over Soyang area. Various rainfall-runoff models have been developed over the years. A distributed rainfall-runoff model is selected because it considers the topographic characteristics over the basin. GIS can handle the spatial data to enhance the modeling. GRASS-a public domain GIS S/W-is used for GIS tools. Digital database is generated, including soil map, vegetation map, digital elevation model, basin and subbasin map, and water stream. The inpu data for the model has been generated and manupulated using GIS. The database, model and GIS are integrated for on-line operation. The inflow hydrographs are tested for the flood of Sept., 1990. This shows the promising results even without the calibration.

Technological innovations in the 21th Century greatly change the society. The radical advance in computer science brought changes and increased efficiency into society in general. The field of archaeology is also highly influenced and attempts to improve previous manually conducted field survey and research have been actively made. In order to supplement incomplete data set from archaeological excavation, the ways to use computer have been highly explored. GIS is one of them. However, use of GIS has been limited to document locations and to produce distribution map of features using digital map. There are no proper guides to employ GIS for academic research, so that it is hard for beginners to learn how to make use of GIS. In this paper, functions of GIS are introduced even for beginners, including definition of GIS and its archaeological use. It is also explained how to get DEM from digital map to do spatial pattern analysis. Various GIS special pattern analyses using DEM and 3D simulation are presented, as well.
