The Purpose of this study is to provide an effective way of developing GIS to UIS at the local level. For this purpose, the study typologically reviews the developing processes of UIS and utilizes a case study as research method. As the case, the study selects three types of UIS such as FM based UIS(Kwacheon), Urban Planning based UIS(Cheungju), and LIS based UIS(Taegu Nam-Gu). Based on these three UISs, the study concludes as follows. First, the developing process of GIS to UIS began with isolated approach through integrated model and finally to internet UIS. Second, UISs follows similar processes to that of GIS construction. Third, local governments focus on the development of FM based UIS of which construction budget is financed by the central government. Based on these findings, the study provides policy alternatives for the successful construction of UIS.
