In recent times, microblogs have become popular owing to the development of the Internet and mobile environments. Among the various types of microblog data, those containing location data are referred to as spatial social Web objects. General aggregations of such microblog data include data aggregation per user for a single piece of information. This study proposes a spatial aggregation algorithm that combines a general aggregation with spatial data and uses the Geohash and MapReduce operations to perform spatial social analysis, by using microblog data with the characteristics of a spatial social Web object. The proposed algorithm provides the foundation for a meaningful spatial social analysis.

This study describes a spatial web object retrieval system using Spark, an in - memory based distributed processing system. Development of social networks has created massive amounts of spatial web objects, and retrieval and analysis of data is difficult by using exist spatial web object retrieval systems. Recently, development of distributed processing systems supports the ability to analyze and retrieve large amounts of data quickly. Therefore, a method is promoted to search a large-capacity spatial web object by using the distributed processing system. Data is processed in block units, and one of these blocks is converted to RDD and processed in Spark. Regarding the discussed method, we propose a system in which each RDD consists of spatial web object index for the included data, dividing the entire spatial region into non-overlapping spatial regions, and allocating one divided region to one RDD. We propose a system that can efficiently use the distributed processing system by dividing space and increasing efficiency of searching the divided space. Additionally by comparing QP-tree with R-tree, we confirm that the proposed system is better for searching the spatial web objects; QP-tree builds index with both spatial and words information while R-tree build index only with spatial information.

Recently, with an increased social interest in new and renewable energy resources, together with rapid advancement in IT(information technology) and spatial information technology, there have recently been a lot of attempts to find out methods to make systematic and scientific use of information technology and spatial information technology, depending upon a fusion with GIS(Geographic Information System) spatial information technology in the field of new and renewable energy. This paper developed a suitability analysis system to conduct a correct and precise analysis of an ideal place for wind energy facilities in comprehensive consideration of topographic, economic, and cultural environments. It also used recent spatial information technology including 3D GIS to develop a supportive system for an analysis and decision making of an ideal place for 3D Web GIS-based wind energy facilities like a precise field information implementation, a 3D result display, a 3D object implementation, simulation, and so on. These systems make it possible to build scientific new-renewable energy facilities, to collect, manage and analyze information in an accurate and quantitative manner. In addition, they help serve as a turning point for the construction of a real-time information supply system. Furthermore, they can support rational decision making by making it possible to analyze a variety of forms of field information through building a system for the management of 3D image-based information on new-renewable energy resources.

Recent environmental concerns have made interest in environment-friendly transportation means such as walking, biking, and public transportation. However, since it is difficult to move long distance by walking or biking, their scope of application is rather limited. On the other hand, public transportation can solve traffic congestion, a recent social issue, though its usability may depend on its time schedule. Currently available information services on public transportation in the Web do not reflect well such traits of the public transportation; thus, in some cases, they may provide wrong information to end users. To solve such problems and provide information based on timetable of public transportations, this paper proposes a STP(Space Time Point) data model. Unlike existing space-time data models, this model recognizes the bottommost element of an object as a point and structures these points in hierarchical way to define an object. In particular, It can make it possible to implement a variety of dynamic spatial objects changing object information according to time. An objective of this study is to design a STP model for bus and subway based on timetables of public transportation in Daejeon area and builds a system to provide path navigation. With the designed navigation function, a path from the Daejeon National Cemetery to Hannam University was searched by time slot. The result showed that the system provided different paths by time, as the system guided different paths when bus operation was limited in midnight. As existing data model could not provide such results, it is confirmed that the system can provide path navigation based on real-time traffic information. It is expected that based on such functionality, it is possible to provide additional functionalities by applying diverse data models such as real-time transport information or traffic history information.
