The cemetery areas which are occupied more than 1.0 percent of whole land of Korea have widened gradually but the reconnaissance is not being conducted for the cemetery investigation due to deficiencies for budget and manpower of the government. The aim of this study is to find a method to establish the lower cost GIS-based cemetery management system by using hand-held DGPS receiver and Mobile GIS software system for easy cemetery management. The results were evaluated and compared to the RTK GPS method. Since the Cemetery Management System shows every tomb's position on the high resolution satellite imagery with a cadastral data, the map helps to find the interesting places easily. Therefore the system data can be used for various purposes such as planning for land development, dealing with real estate as well as cemetery management.
