Abstract

This study was conducted with the purpose of suggesting the role of Geo-Spatial Big Data (GSBD) and its utilization by defining the GSBD concept, and also developing useful applications of GSBD application technology that will actively emerge in future. In this study, Geo-Spatial Big Data is defined as “a series of application system that will serve to extract meaningful information through resources managing, analyzing and servicing by structured, semi-structured and unstructured type of big data and spatial information” This study also suggested seven characteristics that GSBD possesses, namely, Volume, Variety, Velocity, Veracity, Visualization, Versatility and Value. It suggested the role and scope of GSBD as well by examining changes in the environment and future trends. Finally, the study proposed application methods of GSBD at public and private sector for each of the human, social, environmental, economic, political, technological and fusion areas by piecing together case studies and changes in trends.
