About US
The GIS Research Center, established in April 2001, provides research findings through a scientific integration and analysis of a wide range of geographical phenomena and activities. The center seeks to initiate and facilitate research on modern spatial information technologies and their applied role in national projects and industries, with emphasis on innovative methods to acquire, build and utilize geographical information. To this end, the center endeavors to draw upon expertise from information technologies, civil engineering, environmental engineering and a variety of other fields that pursue information-oriented problem-solving in areas such as transportation, management and e-commerce. While provided to government and business, this information is also proliferated through a variety of communication and training initiatives.
