The NGII had provided the 1:1,000,000 series to the United Nations for the International Map of the World. [...] The 1:5,000 maps are digitized through the combination of scanning the existing maps and the photogrammetric techniques. [...] The survey for basic maps of the sea is intended to secure scientific inquiry data needed for systematic marine management, such as boundary delimitation and sea traffic safety in the jurisdictional sea area, marine resource development, and marine policy setup pursuant to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. [...] FUTURE PLANS OF THE NGI The NGII has been planning to upgrade the accuracy of various kinds of national control points through completion of the secondary precise geodetic network succeeding to the primary precise geodetic network, to accelerate the efficient digital mapping system for more accurate revision and production of maps, and to construct the digital map data base. [...] The office was reformed and renamed as the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA) it came under the authority of the new Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in 1996.
