This paper reviews how geographers have embraced the information and communication technology and expanded their perspectives from real space to virtual space. Information and communication geography research on the wired internet infrastructure began in the late 1990s, but the tradition has not been succeeded for the wireless internet technology. While the relationship-expansion, reproduction, and constraint-between real and virtual spaces have been studied by virtual geography scholars, we need more empirical research to reveal to what extent the two spaces impact to each other. To empirically investigate the physicality of the virtual, it will be useful to combine information and communication geography and virtual geography. However, it should be noted that empirical studies in the subfields can be criticized as being data- or technological deterministic.

정보통신의 발달에 따라 변화된 생활양식은 사람들을 걸어 다니면서 직접 구매하던 쇼핑방식에서 전자상거래로, 은행창구에서 번호표를 뽑고 기다리며 업무를 보았던 은행업무를 사이버 뱅킹으로 대체하게 하였다. 이렇듯 정보통신의 발달은 시간과 공간의 제약을 뛰어넘어 새로운 개념의 사회공간을 형성하게 되었고, 특히 주목할 점으로 최근에 등장한 사이버교육 공간을 들 수 있다.(중략)

Because the complexity in the development phase of geographic information system, its hard to change its operation or user interface after the development. So we should develop most part of the applied GIS even though previous GIS is almost exist. In other words, reusing the previous system is not easy. Therefore, its required to research reusable GIS for easy construction of applied GIS. This thesis describes design and implementation of web GIS framework which makes applied web GIS development more easy. Framework is software library composed of reusable units such like classes and objects. Proposed web GIS framework Provides basic web GIS functionalities and execution design to web GIS developers. They could extend the framework to build applied web GIS with applied operation and user interface. The development of applied web GIS could be archived by various tools used for general web application development.

Currently, many geographic information systems deal with only vector data. Therefore, handling raster data for various types of information is greatly needed. In this paper, we design and implement a raster processor which handles spatial information in a spatial object management system called Object Management system for Geospatial Application (OMEGA). We define the data structure of the raster information to be stored in the spatial object management system and implement it to a class library in order for use in making an application program. Furthermore, a query operation and related module is implemented to extract raster information. They are then imbedded in the query executer to process a query of the raster information. Simulation results are given.

Geographic information systems are the crucial means in local governments to improve the diverse internal operations or service to citizens. A eat number of local governments have introduced GIS. However in spite of the rapid spread of GIS projects in local governments there are severe level differences of Geographic Information Infrastructure between medium or large cities and small cities or counties(Gun), especially in non-capital area. The differences are one of the main reasons of regional inequalities in local governments'administrative services. Thus this article suggested that the central government should place policy emphasis on improving the levels of geographic information infrastructure in small cities, counties(Gun) and especially non-capital areas.

Land suitability assessment is the procedure that assesses development, agriculture or conservation suitability of land according to such criteria as soil, location and usability. But there are many problems to execute land assessment by law. Problems include inadequate basic data, lack of linkage with the spatial planning system, and inefficiency in operation. The purpose of this study is to improve methods of land suitability assessment as a sustainable land use management tool using case study. In this study, land suitability assessment will be executed through GIS. On the basis of the results of this case study, practical and institutional problems are described, and technical solutions are suggested.

The role of a GIS as a tool for a national information infrastructure can best be fulfilled once GIS standards are implemented. In this paper, we have identified what the contents of GIS standards in other countries are, and what should be the future direction for implementing a nation's GIS standards. Based on a detailed review on GIS standards in the USA, Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom, we derived the following: (1) A nations's GIS standards should include both geographic information content standards and geographic information service standards: (2) A nation's GIS standards should be a profile of ISO GIS standards: (3) Each GIS standards should be developed on the bassis of the Entity-Relationship Model using Unified Modeling Language: and (4) Experts in GIS should pay much more attention on studies on GIS service standardization. As for building the national GIS Standards for Korea, we recommend both GIS Content Standards and GIS Service Standards be simultaneously developed. GIS Content Standards include geographic feature content standard, feature classification standard, portrayal standard, rules for application standards, spatial reference model and terminology. GIS Service Standards include standards for data sharing such as metadata standard and transfer standard, quality standard, quality principle and portrayal standards.

Currently, the necessity of inter-system integration and sharing system increases to additionally construct and efficiently utilize the geographical information data in accordance with the increase in demand for geographical information. The provision of the data within the domestic sharing system is led by the tasks within national geographical information distribution network or intra-local governmental combined system. However, any voluntary geographical information sharing cooperation body is increasingly required with the increase in necessity of administrative cooperation among neighboring metropolitan areas, including space planning and development. Accordingly, this study is aimed at looking into the constitutions and roles of cooperation bodies within metropolitan areas by the composition, distribution, update and management of data with special regard to overseas advanced cases whose sharing systems and their effects are highly evaluated, and at presenting any model of the domestic future voluntary sharing cooperation organization within metropolitan area.
