  • In the commercially managed timber lands, the information such as height, age, stand density, canopy closure and leaf area index need to be collected periodically. Stand volume is the most fundamental information in the valuation of timber, however, stand age information is the primary element of forest inventory and these two are highly correlated. Conventional method of collecting stand age information by field surveys such as ring count method is accurate; however, it is expensive, labor-intensive and time consuming. In the present study it was aimed to collect stand age information using modem techniques in a commercially managed timberland situated in Tennessee, USA. The Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) of three different periods, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), National elevation dataset (NED) and field inventory data were used. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and Tasselled Cap (TC) transformation techniques were applied on the TM and ETM+ data. The regression analysis was carried out to identify the correlation between stand age and NDVI, TC. In the present study about 2,469 datasets were analyzed. The $R^{2}$ value for stand age estimation was 0.713. The NDVI, TC2 and TC3 were found to produce accurate timber age information.

  • As it is being changed to information society with high economic development, every kind of work is being specialized and diversified in the aspects of quantity and quality. Therefore, Geo-Spatial Information System (GSIS) is getting more important because it can integrate the attribute, the image and the written data of objects including the site one. The purpose of GSIS is to integrate such geo-spatial data as the situation of public facilities, land uses and its sketch and statistics which are scattered in every administration department. Additionally, GSIS can make users get the goo-spatial information easily through computer, and can also do it worthier. An integrated management system of transportation data is needed to improve the efficiency of road-related operations. This can be accomplished by analysing various operation about road management and the utilization of base maps. Thus, in this study, effective road facility information management system based on GSIS database was developed for the management of various types of drawings and data using in various tasks.

  • The cost/benefit analysis method is frequently used in the feasibility study of investments on geo-spatial information system. The cost/benefit analysis method has been applied extensively in the feasibility study of conventional information systems and recently efforts has been made to apply this method to geo-spatial information systems as well. This study efforts were made to present a cost/benefit model suitable for Korean GSIS and this model was then applied to Facility Management. In establishment of the cost model, the items of various costs were defined and a survey was made to find the average unit cost of each item. For the benefit model, the benefits of implementing a geo-spatial information system is classified into tangible and intangible benefits and only th tangible benefits were further classified. The established cost/benefit model was then applied to a gas distribution company with more than 100 employees and more than 300,000 customers. A GSIS was designed and the cost its implementation was compared to the present manual method of operation.

  • Route selection needs the analysis function of GSIS to analyze and manipulate a lot of spatial information efficiently. Therefore, it needs the linkage of system requiring the knowledge and the experience of experts as a method that can estimate each quantitative route for an efficient route selection. In this study, the route selection model through construction and analysis procedure of position information using GSIS were presented, and route selection system linked with expert system was developed. This system is easy to be used and managed for presenting route alignment according to conditions as a graphic user interface environmental window system by applying three tiers based object-oriented method. Using GSIS, the various information required for route selections in database was constructed, the characteristics of subject area by executing three-dimensional terrain analysis was grasped effectively, and the control point through buffering, overlay and location operation was extracted. Three alternative routes between a beginning point and an end point inputted by route selection system were selected. Therefore, the applications of the route selection system are presented by applying this system to the real study area.

  • We propose a direct communication protocol using entanglement swapping. The safety of this protocol is guaranteed by the basic properties of entanglement swapping. This protocol is efficient to transmit two classical bits of information per one session. This efficiency is better than that of ping-pong protocol suggested by Bostrom and Felbinger. Even if an eavesdropper intervenes in midway, the eavesdropper will be detected with the probability of $75\%$ in the verification process of one bit. Therefore the perfect security is guaranteed if we use enough amount of bits for the verification process.

  • In the last few years the automatic classification of morpholgical landforms using GSIS and DEM was investigated. Particular emphasis has been put on the morphological point attribute approaches and the extraction of drainage basin variables from digital elevation models. The automated derivation of landforms has become a neccessity for quantitative analysis in geomorphology. Furthermore, the application of GSIS technologies has become an important tool for data management and numerical data analysis for purpose of geomorphological mapping. A process developed by Dikau et al, which automates Hanmond's manual process, was applied to the pyoung chang of the kangwon. Although it produced a classification that has good resemblance to the landforms in the area, it had some problems. For example, it produced a progressive zonation when landform changes from plains to mountains, it does not distinguish open valleys from a plains mountain interface, and it was affected by micro relief. Although automating existing quantitative manual processes is an important step in the evolution automation, definition may need to be calibrated since the attributes are oftem measured differently. A new process is presented that partly solves these problems.

  • Timber inventory is a good starting point for developing strategies to effectively manage the timberland. In the sale of timberland, pricing is mostly based on this inventory. For a small timberland, inventory by conventional ground survey could be possible. In the case of large and nationwide business transactions, swift and inexpensive inventory is worth to be considered as the conventional methods require more experienced man power, money and time. In the present study, it was aimed to identify the chronicle of timberland such as changes that has occurred owing to silvicultural activities and by other means using the historical aerial photography and satellite data. Historical aerial photos from National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP), National High Altitude Photography (NHAP), Survey Photography and Landsat satellite data were used. Orthophotos were constructed using the DOQQ and DEM from USGS. Simple photo interpretation technique was employed to classify the orthophoto and satellite data. The plantation area was classified into softwood, mixed and hardwood. The timber age and the corresponding acreage details and the changes were also estimated. The result of this study could be more useful to the timberland buyers to better understand the chronicle of timberland of their interest prior to transactions.
