ABSTRACT

Under the notion that geographic Information is crucial to increase competitiveness in this globalizing era, the study attempted to design a framework to classify the information. To begin with, we defined Human-oriented Geographic Information (HGI) and clarified its purpose. And then, we set forth the basic principles in making a classifcation framework and methods and detail processes to determine components within the framework. Referencing various classification frameworks in many countries allows us to propose a full classification framework. The full framework was applied to JeJu Island to show how it works. The result demonstrates HGI classification framework should be flexible and include new geographic item or incidence to show unique characteristics of each region.
