The land use/cover information, which is periodically obtained from satellite imagery, can be effectively applied to change detection in rapidly changing urban areas. Also it can be used not only as base maps for spatial database in urban information system but as decision-making data for desired urban planning and development direction. In this study, we carried out both unsupervised and supervised classification on land use from Landsat TM and JERS-1 OPS data, which were collected respectively in 1991 and 1997, covering Kumi City and then detected land use changes.

Landuse information is used to plan land use, urban and environmental management as base data. And, demand for landuse information is rising due to ecological consideration. But existing method to extract landuse information from aerial photographs or field survey is consume a lot of time and cost. In urban area where the pattern of landuse is densely aggregated, a landuse information needs to be classified in detail for urban planning and management. Therefore this study aims to examine the method to extract landuse information in detail from 1:1,000 digital topographic data. For the purpose, the method was applied to a part of metropolitan Seoul. The results of study shows that extraction of landuse information except forest area is possible. Forest area is needed to describe smaller spatial unit. For the future, the method of describing forest area is improved it will be effectively applicable for the city maintenance.

Three-dimensional GIS, which provides spatial information through expression techniques of virtual reality close to the real world and the web, is one of the fields that attract a new attention. In particular, Open GIS Consortium(OGC) announced a topological relationship specification of spatial object which supports interoperability while interest in interoperability of spatial data is increasing. However, this specification is limited to two-dimensional spatial object. So this research established a topological relationship of three-dimensional spatial object in order to improve urban landscape and provide a foundation to use GIS. Based on this, this study proposes ways to visualize landscape information which is appropriate for new town's circumstances. It can be concluded that this research has a bigger meaning since it established a base of sharing information about realistic urban landscape that can be accessed regardless of place and time.

In this study, we proposed GIS-based Regional Crime Prevention Index (RCPI) development method designed to support local governments with systematic crime prevention activities. The public interest in safe urban environment is increasing rapidly. The government is putting efforts into crime prevention activities to eliminate the criminal opportunities in advance. CPTED is method to prevent crimes in the city by improving environmental factors that cause crime. It is used by local governments to promote the crime prevention activities centering on the expansion of CCTVs and street lamps and the improvement of street environment. However, most policies were terminated as one-off programs and it is necessary to monitor the effect of such policies on a continuous basis. In order to alleviate issues, this study proposed RCPI as part of crime safety assessment in urban environments. The estimation of RCPI in City A of Gyeonggi-do showed relative differences in 31 districts (dong), indicating that it is also possible to evaluate the crime safety in the local community on the level of the administrative dong, the smallest administrative district in the urban environments. As a crime map, the RCPI will be used effectively as he reference to support the decision making process for local government in the future.

On the limited urban area, precise measurement of meteorological data is not easy for the cost problem. The facilities collecting the data require high installment costs. The mobile sources can be a solution in city region. For example, a public bus on which some meteorological sensors are installed can act as moving information gathering station. The information is gathered on a server and aggregated to generate useful information for smart phone application. To implement the services, several obstacles are exists. This paper studies on a design of this mobile meteorological information service system for urban area.

The recent emergence of the paradigm of new urban planning for building intelligent urban spaces, such as U-City and U-Eco City, of which the concept of ubiquitous technology is applied, requires high quality three-dimensional spatial information of the urban area. The aim of this study is to build a multi-dimensional spatio-visual information system that includes the solution for visualization, spatial information search, analysis, and evaluation by integrating various types of 3D-modeled spatial information concerning the large urban-size area based on the latest GIS application technology. The range of this study is the integration, visualization, and utilization of spatial information with the goal of building 3D virtual urban environment of high-quality and high-resolution by increasing the utilization of the systematic urban facilities in order to fully reflect the actual user's needs, using the aerial LiDAR data as the plan to overcome the limitations of the existing 3D urban modeling. By reproducing the virtual urban environment the most similar to the actual world through the mash-up of satellite images and aerial photos on the standard format of spatial information constituted of properties and signs, the system will be built with many analysis and utilization functions that support the view and sunlight analysis, various administrative tasks, as well as the decision making process of the city.

Recently, the view of value and the national consciousness are expressed in various fields because of a rapid urban expanding, enforcement of local self-government system and tendency of democratization over the whole fields of society. It is difficult to satisfy this tendency of social environment change with only existing data management system. Therefore, we would use GSIS mainly used in facility management to develop the integrated urban management system which is connected the related information to related Agency. As a result, we can expect the efficient development, maintenance-management of urban and much civil affairs. On this study, firstly, we select a study area and present a basic direction of various urban facility management system. secondly, we develop the integrated urban information system with related Agency that combined the various urban facility management. Finally, we intended of its expression. It aims to manage as far as the step which is presented a model of urban integrated management system at the study area

Urban regeneration projects have been actively proceeding all over Korea. Urban regeneration has become a critical issue in the domestic construction industry, with environmental-friendly construction and high-rise buildings being emphasized. Because these projectstend to become complex, urban regeneration projects require interest and approach on a level of program management that includes traditional project management. This paper develops aprototype for a new program management information system of a supports the promotion of urban regeneration projects through the deduction of the requirements about system. The prototype of the program management information system includes functions that supply diverse information, support the process and legislation of an urban regeneration project, manage stakeholders, support decision-making, estimate and manage program risks, and manage the program level.

The Urban Canopy Model (UCM) implemented in WRF model is applied to improve urban meteorological forecast for fine-scale (about 1-km horizontal grid spacing) simulations over the city of Seoul. The results of the surface air temperature and wind speed predicted by WRF-UCM model is compared with those of the standard WRF model. The 2-m air temperature and wind speed of the standard WRF are found to be lower than observation, while the nocturnal urban canopy temperature from the WRF-UCM is superior to the surface air temperature from the standard WRF. Although urban canopy temperature (TC) is found to be lower at industrial sites, TC in high-intensity residential areas compares better with surface observation than 2-m temperature. 10-m wind speed is overestimated in urban area, while urban canopy wind (UC) is weaker than observation by the drag effect of the building. The coupled WRF-UCM represents the increase of urban heat from urban effects such as anthropogenic heat and buildings, etc. The study indicates that the WRF-UCM contributes for the improvement of urban weather forecast such nocturnal heat island, especially when an accurate urban information dataset is provided.

Urban parks create the natural landscape of the city and offer a space for city residents to stay healthy and take a rest. They are also urban facilities designed to improve city dwellers' emotional aspects. Currently, urban parks need qualitative management as well as quantitative supply due to changes in the national land and urban policy paradigm, and a shift in perspective to consumer-centeredness is needed. In this study, the service levels of urban parks for citizen were evaluated: (1) quantitative supply adequacy was analyzed based on the urban population, and (2) the qualitative evaluation of the parks were conducted. Based on the evaluation, the appropriateness of the arrangement of urban parks is judged by comprehensively analyzing the quantitative and qualitative aspects. As a result of the evaluation of service levels of urban parks, the highest serviced urban parks were found in urban housing development sites and recently established parks. In addition, it was found that the recently created parks improved the qualities of the parks by installing various facilities. If the quantitative and qualitative aspects of urban park service supply are comprehensively analyzed and applied through this research method, it will be a more effective park and green space plan.
