地理資訊公開化之政策分析－－以環境地質資料庫為例

POLICY ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC ACCESS OF GEOGRAPIDC INFORMATION － EXAMPLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGICAL DATA BASE

過去數年來，若干政府部門均已投下鉅資建立各種不同性質的地理資料庫，如何促進這些地理資料庫之利用以發揮其應有之價值，甚至藉資料之出售以回收部份成本，為許多政府官員與學者共同關心的問題，而法制基礎之建立即為地理資訊公開化之必要步驟。本文之目的在於介紹地理資訊公開化相關的若干法律觀念，探討其法制化必須考慮的政策因素，並以台灣省建設廳所建立的環境地質資料庫為例，分析其法制化之可能方式。此外，並就資訊公開化與資訊都市理念（空間資訊化）之間的關聯性加以探討。

In the past few years, many government agencies have invested tremendous budgets in the development of various geographic data bases. How to promote the utilization of existing geographic data bases, and how to capture cost from the sale of geographic information are concerned by many government officials and academics. The establishment of legal basis is thus the essential step toward the policy of public access to government geographic information. The purpose of this paper is to introduce some basic legal concepts related to the public access of geographic information, to discuss related policy factors, and taking Environmental Geological Data Base (EGDB) as the example to analyze potential approaches of legalization. In addition, the connection between the public access of geographic information and the development of information city (spatial informatization) is discussed.
