Introduction to GIS Developer

Introduction

This blog is run by Hyungjun Kim, a GIS expert and developer. It’s not an exaggeration to say that, at least when dealing with Korean data analysis, one couldn’t do anything without his help.

Requirements

There are no specific requirements, and the downloads can be unlimited.

Data Example

Processing and cleansing unstructured files like *.shp are typically not easy tasks, and initially, if one does not have a certain level of expertise, it might be impossible to even start.

  • Download the latest administrative divisions of South Korea (SHP): http://www.gisdeveloper.co.kr/?p=2332
    • The files obtained from this link use the UTM-K coordinate system. To convert it to the commonly used coordinate system, one needs to transform it from “+proj=tmerc +lat_0=38 +lon_0=127.5 +k=0.9996 +x_0=1000000 +y_0=2000000 +ellps=GRS80 +units=m +no_defs” to “+proj=lonlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +nodefs”.
