介紹一個由網民們所共同完成的北朝鮮地圖(Google Earth檔案),這地圖比Google 所提供的北朝鮮空間資訊更為詳細,也呈現了結合集體參與創造的空間知識的驚人成果。有興趣的朋友們可以連結至以下兩個網站看看:
1.華爾街日報的報導:Gulags, Nukes and a Water Slide: Citizen Spies Lift North Korea's Veil (By Evan Ramstad)
In the propaganda blitz that followed North Korea's missile launch last month, the country's state media released photos of leader Kim Jong Il visiting a hydroelectric dam and power station. mages from the report showed two large pipes descending a hillside. That was enough to allow Curtis Melvin, a doctoral candidate at George Mason University in suburban Virginia, to pinpoint the installation on his online map of North Korea.
2.原創者的網站: North Korea Uncovered (you can download Google Earth files)
This Google Earth project offers an extensive mapping of North Korea’s economic, cultural, political, and military infrastructures. Through the topic menu, users of this program have easy access to geographical information on North Korea’s agriculture projects, aviation facilities, communications, hospitals, hotels, energy infrastructure, financial services, leisure destinations, manufacturing facilities, markets, mines, religious locations, restaurants, schools, and transportation infrastructure. In addition to locations of economic interest, this map also displays anti-aircraft locations, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and Northern Line Limit Line (NLL), incarceration facilities, political monuments, political residencies, military bases, and nuclear facilities.
