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

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 data
2. Invigorating GIS convergence industry
3. Enhancing platform service based on spatial big data
4. Promoting GIS convergence R&D

5. Enhancing cooperative GIS system and usability expansion
6. Nurturing creative and talented people in GIS field
7. 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
