Background
- Cities
in Korea are densely populated, which naturally allows
the central government and local governments to operate GISbased UIS (Urban Information System) to manage cities
efficiently.
- The construction of a U-City that enhances the quality of life
and ensures the effective management of cities through
making the structures of a city intelligent is in its initial state.
- We need more efficient management systems for urban
facilities by integrating traditional GIS technology and
ubiquitous technology.
Research Goals
- To
develop a street tree management system by integrating
RFID, wireless telecommunication technology, and GIS
technology
- To adapt UFID (Unique Feature Identify) to the system for
efficient georeferencing
- To verify the system that integrating with GPS, CDMA, and
three-dimensional GIS system
- To propose a actual example of the application combining
GIS and Ubiquitous technology
Present Street Tree Management System
• Too many regulation and event related
with street trees
• Insufficient Human resources for
monitoring and management trees
• Inadequate pesticides and treatments due
to the lack of financial support

UFID (Unique Feature Identifier)
- UFID (Unique Feature Identifier) is developed by KMOTC
- UFID gives unique ID to the all topographic features with its
location and contents
- UFID is a useful system for 3D GIS and ubiquitous environment

Summary
- We developed a street management system by
integrating RFID, CDMA, GPS, 3D GIS system.
- UFID is useful system for managing complex urban
facilities and functionally augmented future cities (eq. ucity)
- This kind of system will be comprehensively applied to
the management of city facilities like streetlights,
manholes, transportation facilities, etc.
- We need more advanced researches integrating GIS and
SoC (System on Chips), USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network)
applications.
