The National Geographic Information Institute (NGII) in korea, through the National Geographic Information System (NGIS) Program, has prepared to generate and disseminate digital elevation data for Korea. This is a pilot research to propose a policy for production, maintenance, and supply of Korea Digital Elevation Data(KDED). Customer demands for accuracy and resolution of DEM was surveyed through a questionnaire. In order to investigate the quality, the technical efficiency and the production cost, a tentative DEM in a small test site was generated based on digital topographic maps (original paper map scale 1:5,000), analytical plotter, and LIDAR. The Accuracy standard for KDED was derived based on source data generation methods. As a result of this research, a uniformly spaced grid model was recommended for KDED. Its preferable grid space is 5m in urban areas and its vicinity, and 10m in field and mountainous area. LIDAR has been valuated as a proper KDED generation method fulfilling customers' demands for the accuracy.

GIS can be used on almost entire fields of the world, such as the national land management, environmental management, disaster management, enterprise activities, and general lives. GIS is called as an infrastructure of the knowledge information on the cultural society. For insuring the national power on the periods of the unlimited competition, it is very important to establish the national information infrastructure. Purpose of the NGIS project I is to development on living benefits of peoplethrough an efficiency of policy and rationalism of planning. In order to achievement of this purpose, the NGIS project I has been established using the national geographic information base planning. The NGIS project I consists of the master management part, the geographic information part, the technique development part, the standardization part, and the land Information part. These five GIS project parts are operated by four governmental ministers and related institutions, such as minister of transportation and construction, minister of science and technology, minister of information and communication, minister of administrative and home affaires. The NGIS I project is to establishment of the nation spatial information systems, such as various nationwide digital maps, GIS technique development, GIS education, GIS standardization, and GIS researches.

This study demonstrates the experiment based on digital photogrammetric processing for acquiring data related to slope monitoring. To apply dose-range digital photos for monitoring road rock slopes, digital elevation models and digital orthophotos were generated and 3D modelling was conducted for the visualization on a digital photogrammetric workstation. These digital photogrammetric products can be utilized as objective and scientific data not only for surveying and analyzing the shape and characteristics of the slopes but also for extracting various engineering data for building the database of the slopes and making the safety diagnosis of the slopes.

The primary purpose of the present study is two-fold: i) to analyze the level of understanding and perception of stakeholders on the dissemination policy of digital geographic information and ii) to explore the policy direction to enhance the user accessibility based upon stakeholder analysis. The study is composed of descriptive analysis with extensive literature review and empirical analysis. The empirical analysis employs qualitative method as well as quantitative one, articulating perception of stakeholders in a comparative manner and suggesting policy directions. Based on the interview and the survey results, the study proposes the overall directions of dissemination policy to facilitate the efficient use of digital geographic information.

The purpose of this study is to suggest concrete approaches of copyright application among various map price policies to establish the system of a digital map market, to revitalize its market, and to give the public better map services. To do this, we analyzed copyright law in Korea and the copyright protection of digital map in foreign countries firstly, investigated the applicability of copyright to the map market in Korea, analyzed the effect on this market, and suggested an direction of the revision for the Surveying law and the National Geographic Information (NGlS) law lastly. We drew several conclusions. Firstly, the protection of the rights of database makers is the best approach to protect digital maps in korea. Secondly, we need to adopt copyright to the Surveying law and the National Geographic Information Systems (NGlS) law. Lastly, establishing a copyright trust organization to improve the quality of digital maps and to manage various affairs is needed.

The purpose of this study is to find out the ways to supplement the Census, the digital maps, and their integration in comparison with the U.S. Census and the TIGER file and in light of their usefulness for urban and environmental analysis in Korea. Recommendations in this study are: (1) to include questions on household income and housing price in the Census, (2) to implement a 1~5% sampling survey similar to PUMS in the U.S. Census, (3) to make the Census Tract as a minimum size unit of analysis through subdivision of current Eup, Myon, and Dong into 5~10 smaller units, and (4) to utilize the 1:5,000 scale digital maps completed by the Korea National Geographic Institute for the fast and efficient activation of digital maps instead of producing 1:1,000 or 1:1,200 scale digital maps through each city's effort.

National Geographic Information System(NGIS) should be designed on the assumption that geographic data collected by each national organization should be integrated into geographic database systemically. To achieve this object, NGIS database would be better connected to National Very High-Speed Communication Network. In the process of research, some problems related to Korean NGIS are found. These are standardization, compatibility, extension, issue of making and opening digital map, and issue related to land information. So, it is required that pilot project apply National Geographic Information System in terms of National Very High-Speed computer network project. This project is to contain two main theme building of physical network and special management of network which is related with NGIS.

This paper applicate the digital elevation model(DEM) method in geographic information systems(GIS) on the earthwork volumes, intending to present an efficient geographic information-obtain method and an optimum earthwork volumes method after analyzing the obtain method of geographic informations which are made up of as spatial data(X, Y) and attribute data(Z), analyzing area determination method by geographic information-obtain method each other and the accuracy of earthwork volumes computation. The results of this paper showed that the method of earthwork volumes computation, which was based on the earthwork volumes-calculation grid applied by the DEM method of based grid to randomly get the geographic information of geographic transformation point and translated geography into nonlinear and unequal interval, was very efficient.

The importance of Fundamental Geographical Information Framework for Digital City (FGFDC) is analysed, it provides all city agencies and units with uniform geographic references. Six kind of data are chosen as the core data sets of a FGDC, a web-based distributed mechanism is constructed to promote data sharing among different agencies. Elementary functional requirements of FGDC are analyzed, so that it can serve as a common distributed urban GIS. A practical FGFDC is developed for Yangzhou Development Administrative Region, and an 3D visualization system is developed within this framework.
