In this review, the basic concepts of geodetic coordinate system and map projection are explained to practitioners in exploration geophysicists to enhance the understanding of geographic and projected coordinate system. The fundamental elements such as earth ellipsoid, geoid, geocentric and geodetic latitudes, rhumb line, and great circle are dealt with in detail. The geocentric and geodetic coordinate systems are also summarized neatly, together with coordinate conversion formulae. In addition, the concept and technique for datum transforms between local and world datum are presented, with special emphasis on Korean Geodetic System.

With the use of world geodetic system, the UIS DB of WonJu City, which was established on Korea coordinate system becomes to face the need of coordinates transformation. However, the UIS DB of Wonju City is based on dualistic control points of Korea geodetic system, which means the coordinates system is not standardized. Therefore it is required to establish a plan for transformation into world geodetic system. For this purpose, we calculated coordinate transformation coefficients per control point data of Korea geodetic system and verified the accuracy of transformation coefficients. Through the process, we propose a plan for transforming the coordinate system of UIS DB in WonJu City, which has been based on dualistic control point data of Korea geodetic system, efficiently into the world geodetic system.

A satellite positioning system has been recently introduced in Korea and the applications of the system are in-creasing gradually, and it is, therefore, interested in the geocentric coordinate system. In this paper, the requirements of the redefinition of the Korean geodetic system which is suited to the geocentric datum and the strategies for the establishment of new geodetic networks are considered. It is also taken into account to maintain the control points, in the transition from the old coordinate systems to a new coordinate system.

The object of this study is to verify the feasibility in the application of the GPS system data to the existing geodetic and cadastral survey system. WGS-84 data, which were converted into domestic geometric coordinate system, were compared with those of the existing triangular coordinate system in Gwangju area. The significant results in this study are summarized below ; GPS system is more speedy and accurate than the existing triangular coordinate system in the survey of points in triangular coordinate or on the map. And the error in the GPS system was more uniform than that of the existing triangular coordinate system. GPS system is more effective than the existing triangular coordinate system in the future geodetic and cadastral survey because GPS data can be processed by the computer. It is necessary to calculate the conversion coefficients to apply GPS data practically to the existing geodetic and cadastral survey system. It can be achieved by the individual investigation on how the existing data in the domestic coordinate system were determined.

Geodetic datums define the size and shape of the earth and the origin and orientation of the coordinate systems used to map the earth. A lot of different datums have been developed and each nation uses its own datum as the basis for coordinate systems used to identify positions in geographic information systems. Recently GPS receivers are widely used to find out location and GPS is based on the World Geodetic System 1984(WGS-84) datum. Therefore the diversity of datums in use today requires accurate conversion between coordinates in different datums. In this study a coordinate conversion program on Windows is developed to transform between Tokyo Bessel(1941), which is the reference datum in Korea, and WGS-84. Several examples of coordinate conversion are presented and computed results are tested and proved to be correct.

This study proposes a method to correct inclination of instrument during exploration with a biaxial clinometer and GNSS compass. In 3-component magnetometry, measured vectors are ordinarily described in randomly inclined observation coordinate system due to movement, vibration, and shaking of instrument. Therefore, rotation angles of observation plane are needed to transform it into geodetic coordinate system. In this study, we measured inclination angles of observation plane by using 2-axis clinometer and GNSS compass, and derived proper parameters for rotational transform from them. We applied the conversion method to on-board 3-component magnetometry, and then transformed raw data into proper values on geodetic coordinate system.

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate coordinate transformation based on two different systems: one was the World Geodetic System 1984(WGS84) adopted as a reference system for GPS satellite surveying;and another was the current Korean geodetic system based on Bessel ellipsoid. For this purpose, three methods were used to determine 7 parameters as follows: Bursa-Wolf model, Molodensky-Badekas model, and Veis model. The coordinate transformation was carried out using simillity transformation applied the obtained 7 parameters and the precision of transformed coordinate was evaluated. From this results, we found that Bursa-wolf model is more suitable than others for the determination of transformation parameters in Korea.

This article investigates the situation of the Plane Rectangular Coordinate derived from the Gauss Double Projection whereby the positioning of triangulation point in Korea has been represented on. Analyzing and assessing it have been performed by means of new computational method such as computer programing. On the basis of the results brought about, it is found that a new Plane Rectangular Coordinate as well as map projection and scale factor of geodetic length may be adapted to improve the distortion along the geodetic line on a certain zone of map projection in order to enhance the accuracy and the utility of the practical surveying works. The proposals for this study are as follows; (1) projection: Gauss-Kruger's projection (2) Coordinate system: Plane Rectangular coordinate with 8 origin system (3) Scale factor of geodetic length in origin; $m_0=0.9999$

In Boundary Point Coordinate Register Area, the accuracy on Transformation of World Geodetic System(WGS) is determined by surveying results at the reference point. However, the present surveying result in reference points indicates the irregular performance due to the limitations of measurement techniques and methodologies, moreover, can be contaminated by various error sources from the unique characteristics of each project district and start time of the project. Therefore, the main purpose of present investigation is to conduct an inquest into error cause by project districts for each type in Boundary Point Coordinate Register Area, and propose the improvement plan of surveying accuracy through the WGS Transformation and verification-surveying.

Before GPS is practically used in Kores, we must fix a problem on the coordinate transfomation between WGS 84 and Korean geodetic system based on Bessel ellipsoid. On this article, I investigate various coordinate trans formation methods and review the researched results about the coordinate transformation which have been performed in Korea. With the inspection of which method is more applicable to Korea, I discuss about the future prospect and the fixing way for the problem of domestic coordinate transfomation.
