초록

With recent rapid globalization, accurate information for the foreign countries is increasingly important.
Errors based on inaccurate information and unequal international relationships complicate the situations. In this article,
authors analyzed the Japanese place names which appear on the Google Earth images and place name database of the
NGA. Google Earth already becomes a tremendous soft power in internet society; therefore, accurate information on
the satellite image is more necessary than ever.
This article finds that many types of errors exist in the place names in Google Earth image service. Also many place
names are listed with Japanese pronunciation in GNS database as variants. The Japanese place names have not been
used in topographic maps published since 1910s and 1930s. Japanese place names were widely used in US military
maps published in 1946. 1:250,000 maps published in 1954, however, doesn’t seem to use Japanese pronunciation any
more.
