A Study on Establishment of Regional Information System for Regional Equal Development
지역균형발전을 위한 지역정보체계의 구축에 관한 연구
Abstract
In spite of the rapid development of information and computer technology, the software side of those technologies has not been well studied especially in the area of regional planning. Throughout this study we identified some critical facts as below: 1) the necessity of region-specific information which is vital for urban and regional development, 2) the necessity of integration of information system into a regional unit rather than setoral unit, 3) aggravated regional inequality through the spread of communication and computing tools, and 4) advanced regional information system linking satellite and graphic computers in developed countries. From these facts, we recommend some policy directions as below: 1) It is desperately needed to establish a regional information center covering large administrative area. 2) In establishing these system, we can utilize existing communication network or estblish a brand new system. Utilization of existing administrative network and board of statistics for data collection and management, and the utilization of postal office or telephone company for distribution are recommended through the evaluation of those two alternatives, 3) It is also recommended that one-step data collection system should be established. 4) The Dat Base should be organized in many steps in close relationship with development goal and planning process. In order to make most use of this system, we need to develop a monitoring system, regional indicators and ex-ante impact studies.
