South Korean Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites across South Korea. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of features may vary, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on emergency landing site locations.
• Optimize logistics networks using airport and helipad infrastructure data.
• Model aerial response scenarios based on runway and terminal locations.
• Cross-reference local field knowledge for critical decision-making where OSM data may be incomplete.

Strengths

• Covers multiple aviation infrastructure types including airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency sites.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
