LX Suncheon Branch Leading the World Geodetic System (Coordinate) Display Map

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) has been selected as a pilot city for the World Geodetic System (coordinate) transformation project, and the Suncheon branch of LX Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation is emerging as a leading institution promoting the conversion of cadastral survey standard coordinates to international standards.

According to the Suncheon branch of LX Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation on the 5th, the World Geodetic System pilot project is a maintenance project aimed at converting to an international standard with no regional errors by using the Earth's center of mass as the origin, with the advantage that GPS coordinates and map coordinates are compatible in real time.

The currently used Tokyo Datum was adopted during the land survey project in the 1910s under Japanese colonial rule for creating topographic and cadastral maps, and has been used until the World Geodetic System is applied.

Since May 12 last year until the end of last month, Suncheon City has performed the most cadastral surveys nationwide among the pilot cities operating the World Geodetic System cadastral registry.

So far, land movement adjustments for 2,867 parcels have been produced as results of the World Geodetic System.

Park Gwan-sik, head of the Suncheon branch of LX Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation, said, “Through the pilot project, we will identify obstacles to property rights protection and seek solutions, playing a leading role so that the World Geodetic System can be introduced nationwide. As a result, the spatial information industry will be revitalized and digital cadastral construction will become possible.”
