"In everyday life of South Korean citizens, spatial data plays important role. It applies across all spheres of our life. Previously we could live without it, but now we can no longer imagine our life without spatial data," he said.
According to Kim Won dae, citizens obtain and utilise spatial data via internet. Specifically, three dimensional maps remain accessible to them, through which they can locate necessary data taking their interests into account.
