Abstract

In the era of intelligent informatization, basic technology fields such as spatial information and big data are converging with transportation, security/crime, health/medical care, and real estate in the future. Accordingly, with the expansion of demand for private services, industries are expected to become more information centered. As the central axis of the spatial data market is also expected to shift from the national R&D project to the private service market, the role of local governments as a bridge between the central government and related industries will grow larger than now. However, while 20 years have passed for the local government GIS establishment project, most local governments do not meet the policy level desired by the central government due to poor financial conditions, lack of professional manpower, and low interest, and the gap between regions is become wider.

Considering these conditions, this study diagnosed the accumulated problems of local governments and sought a plan to activate policies that they should pursue in the future. As for the methodology, this study used Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to select the spatial informatization level measurement index, chose 3 indexes and 18 detailed items, and assessed their relative importance. A comprehensive index was calculated through the questionnaire results on practitioners, and various levels of analysis and problems were derived through the spatial informatization index. In the case study, Critical Success Factors and implications were derived by using the in-depth interview technique.

The results of statistical analysis derived through AHP and index analysis are as follows. First, this study could find 6 representative indicators (R²=0.959) among the spatial informatization measurement indicators (18). The indicators include (1) construction and utilization of own spatial data system, (2) construction and management of own spatial data DB, (3) dedicated organization and professional manpower, (4) quality management of basic spatial data, (5) collaboration and sharing within institution, (6) and awareness raising and capacity building. Along with these indexes, applying the 'professional governance group-type work support system' presented as the CSF through case studies is expected to further enhance the policy effectiveness. Second, this study analyzed spatial informatization maturity level (1-5) of the local governments and found that 52.8% of them were distributed in the utilization (3) stage. Next, the level was distributed within the sections of introduction (stage 2, 30.3%), integration (stage 3, 13.5%), and governance (stage 5, 3.4%), respectively. Third, in the comparative analysis on each of the three types of local government (autonomous city, metropolitan city-province, autonomous county), the level of the spatial informatization of the self-governing city was relatively high, but it was relatively poor in the metropolitan province's counties and autonomous districts. In other words, autonomous cities are concentrated in stage 3 (54.5%), stage 4 (31.8%), and stage 5 (9.1%), and 95.1% of the county and autonomous district groups of metropolitan cities are in stages 2 and 3. Also, the statistically significant difference between urban and non-urban areas indicates the deepening gap in spatial informatization level between urban and non-urban areas.

The plans to activate policies at the local government level are as follows. First, autonomous cities and districts and autonomous counties of metropolitan cities should be divided into two groups to plan the policy revitalization, second, the level difference between urban and non-urban areas should be considered. Third, this study defined the maturity stage of spatial informatization of local governments in 5 stages. However, due to many regions with poor conditions and the widening gap between the types of local government, it is better to set a policy direction by clustering it into 2 or 3 steps rather than a detailed step-by-step strategy, and share success stories between groups through this method. In conclusion, the success of local government spatial Informatization policies needs setting complementary roles between the central and local governments. This should be accompanied by timely implementation of strategic projects that local governments should carry out in stages and the voluntary participation of practitioners in key issues.
