The purpose of this study is to provide GIS application to the emergency medical transport system in the Seoul area. Two wards, Kangnam-Gu and Songpa-Gu, were selected for a pilot study subject. The main focus of the study was to develop the network system using GIS which could select the most available hospital from the site being emergency case and advise the minimum path to the hospital. ARC/INFO PC version was needed to implement an indexing system for automated mapping and data storage. The developed system, "Emergency Medical System based on GIS rEMS/GISJ ," consists of the cartographic database and vehicle transpotation system, The results suggest that EMS/GIS network is needed to connect the local transpotation network between major emergency care hospitals and central control tower in the near future. If the EMS/GIS system could be more developed based on further analysis, it would be the most useful economical, and efficient for emergency medical service with mutual aid system. It is suggested that the further research should be done to develop the most useful and powerful system for emergency medical care.
