Open source policies in South Korea In South Korea, Open Source Software Competence Plaza(of National IT Industry

Promotion Agency under Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning) takes charge of Open source policies for promotion, marketing, incubating, and funding.

From 2004, test projects to use Open source software were conducted and Linux started being used by Government and public organizations.

From 2008, there started some policies to make better Open source software eco system throughout enhancement of software production, enlargement of market base, creation of Open source demand, and international cooperation.

Korea Open Source Software Association established in 1999 is an organization for software companies using Open source and invigorating Open source market in South Korea.

Supporting international marketing(Global exhibition, Marketing consultant, etc.) Trying to raise low awareness of Open source projects, license policy, and so on Providing consulting service about how to use Open source software Supporting Open source communities

Open source GIS policies in South Korea MOLIT(Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport) in charge of most GIS such as

surveying, mapping, and so on. added “Open source GIS” into one of their action plans of 5th National Spatial

Information Policy. It seems Government has changed their mind from hostile to favorable toward Open

source GIS.

1. Constructing high quality GIS data and opening expansion of high quality GIS data2. Invigorating GIS convergence industry3. Enhancing platform service based on spatial big data4. Promoting GIS convergence R&D~~~~

Developing Open source GIS~~~~5. Enhancing cooperative GIS system and usability expansion6. Nurturing creative and talented people in GIS field7. Establishing GIS convergence promotion system

7 Action Plans of 5th National Spatial Information Policy

Open source GIS planning project by KARI(Korean Aerospace Research Institute) has been conducted in order to find appropriate Open source GIS project or service suitable for Korean market and people.

Open source GIS trend in Korea

Private sector participation jumped from the open source GIS (sensitive to industrial flow), currently estimated that this tends to be that participating companies are expanding.

Public institutions are increasing the interest in open source GIS field from the part of the actual operating system

Employ personnel with the competencies for open source GIS Seeks to improve the capacity through training for the personnel who have existing

GIS (Environmental impacts) Existing commercial S / W (ESRI) agencies operating

personnel feel the burden of maintenance costs of the product -> Increased interest in alternative solutions
