2010 Japan-Korea Joint Conference on GIS
Kyoto, JapanOct. 23rd 2010
Prof. Sung-Ryong HaPresident, Korean Association of GISDean, Chungbuk National UniversityFor last two decades, GIS technology and its
business circumstance in Korea have been
dramatically progressed.
Public voices of GIS needs was born fromearly 1990s after two big accidents ofmunicipal GAS pipe explosion.
Substantial triggering momentum topromote GIS in our livelihood was IMF
economic crisis in 1997 to provide jobs forhigh-educated job losers.

 Reports: A fork lifts operator, who having insufficientknowledge about underground urban facilities
commits a rash act to trigger a big explosion.

In the centre of Seoul
Metropolitan, Gas pipe
exploded and got 50
more killed and injured,again (1994.12.8.)

Report: Commits a rash act of piling at a main street ofSeoul Metropolitan, gets loose a joint coupler of gas
pipes buried under the ground.

Loiter on the way
to build a GIS DB.
Only talking big to build
GIS,
raising a humandisaster risk.

Maeil Economics,

The Board of Audit andInspection outsetsinspecting why the way
to develop Gis data wasdelayed.

Dong A Ilbo Daily,
Apr.29 1995

Not to be
Delayed more to set up anaccurate GIS system ofurban underground buriers.

Current reality of data managing is thatengineers are walking rounds at dataholders such as Korea Electricity Corp.
for begging geospatial information.
UK-Japan had developed an integrated
management system of GIS.

To review the national status of Korean
National Geographic Information Systemdevelopment including ubiquitous-GIS.
To analyze policies established for fulfill
the mission of Green Growth of Koreansociety.

At the behind of GIS progress in Korea,
the governmental leadership dominates inalmost business fields from administrative
public service to private industrial sectors.
Master plan of ‘National GIS (NGIS)
projects’ is established in year 1995.
The plan consisted of three stages,
1’st (1995-2000), 2’nd (2001-2005) and3’rd stages (2006-2010).

With reflection of this circumstance, ‘Ubiquitous-Korea
Project, which is a national strategy based on ubiquitoustechnology had been launched from year 2006.
And, ‘Ubiquitous-City’ Plan is materialized in 3rd NGIS period.
Many ministries of government gave orders for new
projects of ubiquitous city.

generation of economy in Korea.
The governments either central or local leaded U-Cityprojects. Infrastructure building was focused on adigital sensor networks construction in Korea.

It was clear that we were still in an indistinctive stage todiscover the right way toward ubiquitous society.
We were standing in front of tough barriers from not only
technical but also financial aspects in terms of U-GIS.
The changes from device-driven as well as service-driven
was very aggressive and fast. Convergence among
emerging technologies, such as mobile GIS, 3D GIS, andcomputing device should be organized suitably in orderto develop ubiquitous cities.
A new NGIS policy beyond the scope of current national
GIS master plans from 1995-2010 may be required tocomprise with the issues listed.

range of a wireless accessing apparatus (AP).
-It is defined as the basic standard related to wireless LAN by IEEE in 1997 and inscribed as IEEE802.11.

 WiBro (Wireless Broadband Internet) is a special
technology by which mobile internet user accesses to theinternet while user is moving with 60 Km/hr using portablewireless device and also get accessed to various data sourcesand contents.
-On June 2006 in Korea, KT as a WiBro proprietor and SK as a telecommunication proprietor began to abusiness of commercial WiBro service. It was recorded as
the first case of Commercial WiBro service in the world.

In Year2009, Korean mobile market was hit bya wave of intriguing devices, Smart phone.
Data Traffic of wireless internet was up 64% byexpending of Smart phone.

in which three missions are included as
Low carbon, New renewable energy,and IT convergence.
All three are closely related to GIS bywhich digital information has to becreated.
