Panama vs. Korea History International politics Economic situation
Background GIS was first introduced in the late 1980 s. Multiple GIS projects were conducted by separate institutions. duplicated data implementation, lack of compatibility, and quality deterioration The central government realized the necessity for GIS. Facing a range of problems - pollution, traffic jams, and a lack of basic infrastructure - promote economic development Two LNG explosions in 1994 and 1995 decisive moments for the introduction of the NGIS
Purpose Korean government planned to establish the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) through various efforts - to construct GIS framework data - to set up NGIS standards - to develop GIS technology - to construct GIS education and distribution network Three 5-year NGIS Master Plan established but actively executed the NGIS projects from 1998. Economic Crisis in Korea
NGIS Master Plans The 1st NGIS Master Plan (1995-2000) - to construct the infrastructure for national spatial data - to strengthen national competitiveness - to improve administrative productivity The 2nd NGIS Master Plan (2001-2005) Information Super Highway - to realize a digital national territory by expanding NSDI The 3rd NGIS Master Plan (2006-2010) - to create infrastructure for realization of ubiquitous country
1st NGIS Master Plan (1995-2000): To construct the infrastructure for national spatial data Building Foundation for GIS Due to insufficient capability of the private sector, the government sector led investments and policy measures. Focused on creating the initial demand for GIS by constructing some digital basic maps like topographic maps Foundations of GIS such as the standard, technology, human resource, and R&D were provided.
The 1 st NGIS Project 1. converting existing paper topographic maps into digital maps - 1:5,000 and 1:25,000 digital maps covering the entire nation - 1:1,000 digital maps covering the urban regions 2. digitizing cadastral maps, underground facilities maps, and road network maps (PBLIS : Parcel Based Land Information System) Aerial Photo Drawing Field Survey Editing Digital Map
The 1 st NGIS Project 1. GIS standardization for NGIS Examples: - Spatial Data Exchange Format for NGIS - Standards for the national base map and thematic map 2. Establishment of the Act on NGIS (2000) - Prevents duplication of similar projects and facilitates coordination among them - Preparation of guidelines for data security, data quality, and so on
2nd NGIS Master Plan (2001-2005) To realize a digital national territory by NSDI Utilization & Distribution of NGIS Induce participations of the local governments and private sectors Explore a plan to improve the productivity of administration and the quality of life by developing application services using spatial information to peoples Consolidate the spatial data distribution system Diversify the ways to train specialized human resources with GIS education and research projects
The 2nd NGIS Project Korea Land Information System (KLIS) Goal -online real time service for land information at a parcel level -support for land policy decision making, real-estate trade management, real-estate brokerage management and realestate taxation DB implementations - build digital topographic map -build a consolidated zoning DB defining laws and regulations (urban planning etc.) on a continuous cadastral map
