ABSTRACT

As the role of GIS in producing and distributing statistics becomes significant, many countries are building and operating their own geographic statistics systems and statistics navigators which are the combined systems of GIS and the mature statistics systems. In particular, a web-GIS based statistics navigator is regarded as a realistic alternative by providing dynamically interactive searching and mapping interfaces for users. In this paper, we attempt to suggest a guideline for building and operating the advanced geographic statistics systems and user services, by investigating major characteristics of various statistics navigators and comparatively analyzing the statistics navigator of Korea. For doing this, we particularly investigated the developed countries in statistics such as, UK, Sweden, Finland, and Norway including EU statistics institute. Furthermore, the comparative assessment of the statistics navigator of Korea has been conducted focusing data exploring functionality, the flexibility of thematic mapping and cartographic representation, the availability of raw data, and additional functionalities.
