Developing an Urban Ground Facilities Management System based on u-GIS using an OpenSource GIS Software

The 'Open Source' of programing is a method that is not only sharing the source, but also making the S/W by the low cost and easy way. In this study, we made the urban facilities management system(FMS) based on the GeoFOSS of Open Source. This system has the GIS function of the urban facilities management, the u-GIS function using the USN for processing the spatial information. Also, as we use the GeoFOSS of 'Open Source', we can have received many benefits. First, this system has the economic impact, because it is not necessary to buy the commercial GIS software. Second, this system can make most functions of the GIS, the performance does not bad compared to other products. Also, this system strictly conforms to the international standards, it is easy to get a repair, maintenance and interoperability.
