A GIS is a combination of spatial data which provides the relative location of points, lines or areas on the earth surface and attribute data related to these individual points, lines and polygons (Burrough, 1986). Many base map layers, such as land use, elevation, soil type, transportation and cadastral layer showing property boundaries should be included in the GIS.

Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

  • Evaluation of the Accuracy of the New Primary Precise Geodetic Network in Korea
    Earth Planets Space, 50, 629–634, 1998 Evaluation of the accuracy of the new Primary Precise Geodetic Network in Korea Jae-Hwa Choi Department of Civil Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Korea (Received August 25, 1997; Revised April 23, 1998; Accepted May 21, 1998) Accuracy of the Primary Precise Geodetic Network (PPGN) established during the period of 1975–1994 in Korea is investigated through an analysis of residual from free network adjustment. The PPGN, composed of 1155 points with mean side-length of 11 km, was surveyed by EDM trilateration to revise old triangulation network established in 1910 s. A-posteriori standard deviation of unit weight is 3.8 × 10–6 of the observed length. Most of the estimated error ellipses of horizontal coordinates are nearly circular with a radius <5 cm except those in the marginal part of the network. Mean error of the adjusted coordinates was ±4.5 cm, a value good enough for a geodetic control network of current standard, and as the reference for future crustal deformation studies. 1. Introduction To keep consistency with the old coordinates system, the Geodetic control network not only provides a basic PPGN was adjusted in the way that its official coordinates framework for the survey of nation-wide topographic map, are same as the old ones. Unfortunately, original records of cadastral and civil engineering surveys, but also contributes the old survey are lost during the Korean war, and we only to geodynamics. Establishment of nationwide geodetic have a set of coordinates of triangulation points now. Hence, network in the Korean peninsula was carried out in 1910 s.
