Acerca del Mapa Verde Abierto
• It is registered in a very friendly way as '우리동네 그린맵 (My Town GreenMap)', which is based on Korean words, at the website. • The people making this map in Korea have translated Green Map Icons (version 3) to help local users understand the meaning quite easily for their own local situation. Working with the Green Map office in New York, the Korean Icon Poster will soon be available at GreenMap.org/icons. • Also, while many others are using the Open Green Map to quickly and easily create an interactive Green Map, the underlying Google Map lacks detail in Korea. Gyeonggi-do selected the 'Naver Map' which is made by a popular portal site, Naver, in Korea and functions in a very similar way to Google Map. Therefore, they adopted it to produce their Green Map because many Koreans prefer Naver. In 2011 there is a special focus on Korea at the New York office, in part because Jinhwa Ju, a marketing trainee from Seoul will be on staff through July 2011. You can reach her at trainee [at] greenmap [dot] org or simply click GreenMap.org/join to find out more about getting involved and registering as a Green Mapmaker. Then, you can access all of the tools and develop a great project with your school, university, city, company or community group. As a result, we hope that more and more Green Map projects with take place from now on in Korea.

Gyeonggi-do
Gyeonggi Province is located in the central western part of Korea. It surrounds the cities of Seoul and Incheon and is bordered by Hwanghae Province (North Korea) to the north, Gangwon Province to the east, South Chungcheong Province to the south and the Yellow Sea to the west. Gyeonggi Province consists primarily of a fertile plain along the Han River, and people have resided in this area since the prehistoric times . Evidence of these prehistoric inhabitants have been found in Paleolithic sites in Jeongok-Ri of Yeoncheon County, in Neolithic sites in Misa-Dong of Hanam City, and in various Bronze Age sites.
During the 2nd century BC, the northern part of the Gyeonggi region is believed to have been the location of Jin Country (辰國). It was at this time that the Gyeonggi region came under the Mahan Confederation. Of the 54 small countries (小國) of the Mahan Confederation, 10 were located within Gyeonggi Province.
The strategic importance of Gyeonggi Province has remained unchanged since 18 B.C., when King Onjo, the founder of the Baekjae, designated Wirye Castle in Hanam as the seat of a provincial government. By the mid-5th century, this region of the Han River had merged with Goguryeo and in 553 (14th year of King Jinheung) it became the territory of Silla.
Thereafter, the Unified Shilla implemented a 9-state system and established the state of Hansan in the Gyeonggi Province region. In the post three-nation period, this region was ruled by Gungye.
Since the designation of Gaeseong as the royal capital by founding king Wanggeon of Goryeo, the Gyeonggi region has been center stage of Korean history.
The name Gyeonggi was established under the administrative jurisdiction of the Goryeo Dynasty. In 995 (14th year of King Seongjong, Goryeo), it established 6 Jeokhyeon (赤縣) and 7 Gihyeon (畿縣) around Gaegyeong. In 1018 (9th year of King Hyeonjeong, Goryeo) these two Hyeon were combined and formally named Gyeonggi, the regional outskirts of the capital city.
Originally, Gyeong meant “capital city designated by the king” and Gi meant “150 km of land in the four directions from the residence of the king. ” The name “Gyeonggi” was derived during the Tang period when it ruled the vicinity of the capital region in Gyeonghyeon (京縣,赤縣) and Gihyeon (畿縣).
In 1069 (23rd year of Munjong, Goryeo), 39 Hyeon were transferred from Yanggwang (楊廣). Gyoju (交州). Seohaedo (西海道) and 13 Hyeon added, expanding Gyeonggi to a total of 52 Hyeon. A short time later, the region of Gyeonggi was reduced to the size that it was in the King Hyeonjong period during the Goryeo period.
In 1390 (2nd year of King Gongyang, Goryeo), Gyeonggi expanded to the size it was in 1069 (23rd period of King Munjong, Goryeo), with a total of 44 Hyeon, and became the first provincial organization. At that time, Gyeonggi was governed by separate “Left-Province” and “Right-Province” administrations.
The Joseon designated Hanyang as the new seat of government and redrew the boundaries of Gyeonggi. During the rule of King Taejong, Left and Right Gyeonggi were combined and renamed Gyeonggi. The northwestern part, comprised of the Suan, Gokju, and Yeonan areas, came under the region of Punghaedo (豊海道: Hwanghae Province) and the southeastern part, comprised of Suwon, Yeoju, and Anseong, transferred to Gyeonggi to form the current regional jurisdiction.
The founding of the Joseon Dynasty and moving of the seat of government to Hanyang was the turning point in the shaping of Gyeonggi Province as we know it today.
