Purpose of this article

This page summarizes the most basic information for Korean(한말글,조선어) users who are unfamiliar with OpenStreetMap or find it difficult to locate suitable resources, as well as for mappers working on the Korean Peninsula.

Where to get information

This page collects only official documents where you can find important information about OpenStreetMap (OSM). For other unofficial materials, please refer to the OSM usage, applications, and technical resources collection or search independently.

  • OpenStreetMap Wiki : A comprehensive reference listing tags, keys, and conventions necessary for editing OpenStreetMap. Since it's quite broad, beginners may find it overwhelming. Start with Beginner’s Guide and Glossary.
  • LearnOSM in Korean : While the OSM Wiki is rich in content, it can be complex. LearnOSM offers a simpler, beginner-friendly guide to mapping, ideal for getting started quickly.
  • Good Practice Guide : A guide to recommended behaviors and editing conventions, especially helpful for those unfamiliar with OSM’s collaborative principles.
  • Editing Standards and Conventions : Summarizes mapping standards and practices worth referencing during editing.
  • OSM Dev and Test APIs : A sandbox environment for learning OSM editing. It’s separate from the live map, making it ideal for practice without risk. You can create an account and try editing freely.
  • OpenGeofiction: A fantasy mapping project using OSM technology and the iD editor. You can draw freely by following some basic rules. See also the OpenGeofiction Wiki.
  • Vandalism: Describes what constitutes vandalism in OSM — including edits that go against community agreements.
  • Map Features : A summary of major features and tag types used in OSM. For more details, refer to individual pages or use the search function.
  • Roads in Korea (Summary) : 가A reference for mapping various road types in Korea (e.g., expressways, national roads, local roads, residential streets) in line with OSM’s classification system.
  • Korea Open Government License(KOGL) : The Korea Open Government License, a public license issued by the South Korean government for the free distribution and use of public works.

These resources are especially useful for Korean-speaking users or mappers working on the Korean Peninsula.

Where to get help

Still finding editing difficult?

If you still feel unsure about editing OpenStreetMap directly, try using the simple Note feature.
If you don’t have time to learn editing tools or even log in, you can leave a Note on the map for others to review and fix.
Go to the OSM map and click the Note icon (OpenStreetMap 'Note' icon) on the right.
Drag the marker to the location and write a short message(e.g., "This place has moved" or "This building no longer exists") and save it.
Other mappers will then be able to verify and make the appropriate edits.

OpenStreetMap map of South Korea with no national security facilities visible

If you want to use an OpenStreetMap in South Korea(Republic of Korea) that does not show military or national security facilities to avoid violating Korean laws when using OSM maps, please use the Military-Free Korea OpenStreetMap Map Tiles.[1]
You are free to use the map tiles, and to use them, simply enter the TMS map tile URL 'https://tiles.osm.kr/hot/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png' where the map tile URL is required.

If you want to operate your own map tile server, download the original database from https://tiles.osm.kr/download and follow the friendly guide at Hosting OpenStreetMap Map Tile Server (Ubuntu 22.04) to set up your server.

What you need to know about mapping OpenStreetMap in South Korea

Exporting South Korean Geographic Information Abroad (e.g., under the Spatial Information Management Act)

South Korea (the Republic of Korea) prohibits the export of basic survey results abroad according to laws such as Spatial Information Management Act Article 16 (Prohibition of Exporting Basic Survey Results Abroad).[2]
Almost all commercial maps officially provided within Korea (with high resolution) are fundamentally based on survey results from the National Geographic Information Institute, so directly transferring commercial maps served within Korea to OSM could be considered illegal[3].

Furthermore, since government-disclosed geographic information is often only permitted for individual free use, using servers located outside Korea for OSM mapping may be illegal, so please check carefully.

To put it more bluntly, this means that OSM mapping should not be based on maps or information derived from the National Geographic Information Institute’s survey results (and thus on most commercial map services within Korea that are based on those results).

Mapping and vandalism of secure areas(military zones) in South Korea

‘OpenStreetMap’ allows mapping of all real-world features regardless of each country’s circumstances.
Therefore, arbitrarily deleting military areas or security zones in South Korea may be considered ‘vandalism’ and can lead to account restrictions. If the editing complies with OSM principles and consensus, mapping South Korea’s military areas cannot be blocked.[4]

If you need a map that does not show security (military) areas, please see the OpenStreetMap Korean Peninsula map without military facilities entry.

Also, if you notice a feature that has been seriously vandalized intentionally, please note it under the corresponding changeset, then perform a rollback[5] and inform the ‘Data Working Group’ (DWG) to take appropriate action. (Alternatively, you can notify the DWG without rolling back yourself, and the DWG can perform the rollback.)[6]

Legal rights issues when importing data from outside OSM

When importing external geographic data into OSM, you must pay careful attention to various rights, conditions, and restrictions related to its use.
First, the source of the information must allow it to be exported and reused externally. Additionally, it must be permitted to be included and served in OpenStreetMap.

For example, geographic data based on survey results from South Korea’s National Geographic Information Institute may be freely used within South Korea, but since it is regulated not to be exported abroad, it cannot be used in OpenStreetMap servers located outside South Korea. Furthermore, even the (restricted) publicly available geographic data from the South Korean government can only be used if the rights level meets or is lower than what OSM requires.[7]

Regarding whether data and works licensed under the South Korean government’s 'Korea Open Government License' license can be used in OSM, please see the OSM wiki page 'Korea Open Government License(KOGL)'.

Since this can be complicated and prone to misunderstanding, to simplify: unless the data is definitely copyright-free or the copyright has expired, is CC0 (public domain), or explicitly states it follows or is compatible with ODbL, you should assume it cannot be used in OSM.[8]

For an overall understanding of the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s licensing, please see 'OSM Foundation License', and the compatibility between data published under specific common licenses and ODbL can be easily compared in the 'Import/ODbL Compatibility' page.

If you are attempting to import publicly available data from outside OSM, please make sure to check the Import Guidelines.

Other cautionary notes related to OpenStreetMap

Additionally, please be aware that arbitrarily editing and changing disputed areas in 'OpenStreetMap' can also be considered vandalism.

For how to use OpenStreetMap and various technical resources, there is a helpful explanation at 'Using OpenStreetMap'.

If you want to map features or historical features from earlier periods, try using 'OpenHistoricalMap (OHM)', which uses a base similar to the OSM map. Editing guidelines follow the OSM wiki as is. - OpenHistoricalMap

Cautions for mapping OSM in some authoritarian countries

Even if you are not a citizen of that country, you must follow the local laws while in the country.
In particular, some authoritarian countries are highly sensitive not only about mapping national facilities but also about any information related to sensitive security areas being transmitted outside the country. Therefore, editing the map while traveling in such a country can pose different risks compared to editing it from outside the country.
Especially in (mainland) China, a recent Anti-Espionage Law has raised concerns due to its vague and broad scope, which may extend beyond national and security facilities. When traveling to China, it is advisable to avoid any actions that may raise suspicion, and to be cautious with potentially questionable items—such as cameras, communication devices like mobile phones, electronics—and even the act of viewing or collecting GPS data.[9][10][11][12]
