The purpose of this study is to look into the necessity of strengthening the knowledge base about longitudinal and latitudinal coordinate system in secondary educational curriculum. GPS based location service increases the use of longitude and latitude coordinate system. And many developed countries including USA and Japan have already included this contents in secondary education curriculum. But the secondary school Curriculum of Korea does not include the detailed contents regarding longitudinal and latitudinal coordinate system theory, and as a result the level of Korean students knowledge on this subject is low. The frequency of appearing of the information related to longitudinal and latitudinal coordinate systems in newspaper articles in Korea has been steadily increasing since after 2000. And a lot of articles appearing in newspapers provide the location information in the form of longitude and latitude coordinates, so the readers would be able to apply that. It was found out that the situation in schools is developed good enough for the use of spatial information system based upon the longitudinal and latitudinal coordinate system. The conclusion is that geography education in Korea needs systematical implementation of the knowledge base of longitudinal and latitudinal coordinate system.

In this review, the basic concepts of geodetic coordinate system and map projection are explained to practitioners in exploration geophysicists to enhance the understanding of geographic and projected coordinate system. The fundamental elements such as earth ellipsoid, geoid, geocentric and geodetic latitudes, rhumb line, and great circle are dealt with in detail. The geocentric and geodetic coordinate systems are also summarized neatly, together with coordinate conversion formulae. In addition, the concept and technique for datum transforms between local and world datum are presented, with special emphasis on Korean Geodetic System.

Car Navigation System with Global Positioning System (GPS) can display position direction and the shortest cut of one's destination. The position datum for GPS in World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) coordinates system need to transform Bessel coordinates system and process Map projection. Since 1987, GPS has used the WGS-84. WGS-84 is a geocentric equipotential ellipsoid of revolution which is defined four parameters. In this study, by comparing the digitized topographical map with the digital map of GPS datum we can consider the technique of WGS84 digital map.

Recently, the single plane coordinate system which has one origin is required to create and manage continuous geographic framework data of entire Korean peninsula. For this, UTM-K (Univercial Transverse Mercator-K) was established in 2005. In this paper, the level of distortion was analyzed with respect to the central meridian and scale factor of UTM-K. The latitude and longitude values of the center point of 1/25000 scale digital maps were used for calculating the scale factor which was created by projection and the scale factor was used for index that presents the degree of distortion. As a result, accumulated distortion of scale factor by UTM-K map projection showed about $23.744{\times}10^{-2}$. On the other hand, the minimum distortion which was about $5.1435{\times}10^{-2}$ occurred when central meridian is $127^{\circ}\;42'$ and scale factor of central meridian was 0.99994 respectively.

In this paper, the historical coordinates data of origin SUWON are reviewed and determination procedures are explained with the three dimensional geocentric coordinates of ITRF94 that is determined using VLBI observations. Also three translation parameters are calculated on the origin point. The national transformation parameters between the Korean geodetic system and Korean Terrestrial Reference Frame 1994(KTRF94) system, are determined using least square methods with weigted parameter constraints. The results of transformation show that one set of parameters are applicable to fixing of a position for GPS relative positioning processing and to adjusting of a network for three dimensional geocentric coordinates(KTRF94) computing.

Requiring topographic information of map due to retaining russia map, which needed accuracy analysis of russia map and relation between its and south korea's map. In order to obtain exact location information from the map which has different reference datum. We have to operate coordinate transformation between maps applied different ellipsoid. In this paper, in order to evaluate accuracy between two maps applied different ellipsoid, it has studied theory of map projection and coordinate transformation. Then, select each point which can be recognized on the two maps for accuracy evaluation. After obtaining coordinate values for each point of same area, it is evaluated accuracy each geodetic coordinate and each TM coordinate. As a result of this study, the maps which have different reference datum could be used if the exact origin shift could be obtained and applied.

1995년 한국 최초로 VLBI관측이 이루어졌다. 일본 측의 26m 안테나(일본 국토연구원 소재)와 한국 측의 3.6m 안테나(국토지리정보원 소재)로 수행되었으며, 이 때 결정된 관측점의 좌표가 세계 공통으로 사용되는 "세계측지계(ITRF)"에 의거한 새로운 국가기준좌표계의 경위도 원점이다. 그 후 측지VLBI관측국의 설치를 위해, "측지VLBI구축 타당성조사 및 기본계획 수립을 위한 연구(2003년)"와 "측지VLBI구축 실시설계(2006년)"를 수행하였다. 그 결과 국가 차원에서 측지VLBI관측소(22m 안테나)를 건설하기 위해 2008년에 관측소 후보지를 세종시로 확정해서 공사에 들어갔다. 2012년에 준공되었으며, 명칭을 "우주측지관측센터"로 하였다. 그 후 1년 동안의 시험관측의 성공으로 아시아에서 3번째로 정식으로 IVS(International VLBI Service)에 가입하였다. 현재 독일, 일본, 미국 등의 측지VLBI관측국들과 정기적으로 관측을 수행하게 되었으며, 실적을 올리고 있다. IVS사업 뿐 만 아니라, 한국천문연구원의 KVN(천문 VLBI)연구팀과도 공동연구를 수행해서 우리나라의 천문 VLBI 및 측지VLBI관측사업의 활성화에 기여하고 있다. 장차 동남아 각국에 마이크로SAR위성의 관측데이터를 수신하기 위한 지상국(3m급 소형안테나)이 설치되면, 이를 활용해서 측지VLBI관측을 수행할 계획을 수립하고 있다. 이것은 위성용 수신기를 VLBI용 수신기로 교체하면 된다. 한국과 일본이 VLBI관측을 수행했던 것처럼 세종시에 설치된 우주측지관측소가 허브역할을 하면 된다. 즉 동남아 지역에 우주 VLBI관측망을 구축하게 된다.

Gridded bathymetric data of 30 seconds apart in Korea marginal seas $(30^{\circ}N{\sim}44^{\circ}N,\;117^{\circ}E{\sim}143^{\circ}E)$ are produced. In order to make the data, both updated gridded data of 1 minute apart on internet sites and all the digital nautical charts issued by National Oceanographic Research Institute (NORI) in Oct. 2007 are used. The reference level of the gridded data is approximate level of lowest low water and the horizontal coordinates are based on the WGS84 ellipsoid. Especially a developed computer program can collect all the sounding data including depth contour directly from the digital charts and UTM coordinates of the data are converted to the WGS84 coordinates from which accuracy of data is significantly improved. An interpolation method is adopted to produce the gridded data which are compared and analyzed against the existing gridded data. In this gridded data we can see significantly detailed topographic features which could not be found in the previous data.

The national geodetic reference frame of Korea switched to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) in 2003. In order to study the land area changes, we calculated the entire land area of Korea using the administrative boundaries of census data provided by Statistics Korea. The standard transformation procedure by the National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) was followed. The Transverse Mercator (TM) projected coordinates were transformed into the GRS80-based world geodetic reference frame, and the ellipsoidal and the projected areas were calculated. The provinces that range over two projection origins were divided into two polygons and projected using appropriate origins. After the transformation, all boundaries were shifted in the northwestern direction, resulting in a decreased area of $1.36km^2$ (about 0.0013%) on the projected plane. Moving the boundaries into a high latitude area cancels out the effect of the enlarged ellipsoid. In addition, the rate of change shows that a higher-latitude province is more sensitive to the shift of the boundaries. The data by Statistics Korea is significantly different from those of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MLTM), thus it is urgently recommended that the data are integrated and unified.
