| Summary: | Geospatial information technology has
emerged as a major contributor to economic transformation
for many countries. Established along with the E-government
drive, the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) in
South Korea is especially remarkable, given the fact that
South Korea was recently ranked 10th (in 2019) for its
geospatial data infrastructure at the global level. Since
the formulation of the open government policy in 2013, data
were used from a wide range of end users, including the
private and public sectors, which facilitated a significant
growth in the national market, recording around seven
billion US dollars of sales revenue in 2018. This note first
introduces geospatial information and its technical
evolution in general, then describes the NSDI development
plans and strategies, economic impacts on the national
market and two geospatial information applications. Finally,
the note concludes with the key factors that contributed to
the successful development and application of the NSDI,
information and innovation. |
