Uijeongbu City Launches 'Advanced Spatial Information System Project'

Uijeongbu City (Mayor Ahn Byeong-yong) held a 'Kickoff Report Meeting for Advanced Spatial Information System Project' on the 19th at the City Hall Situation Room, with attendance from approximately 20 personnel including team leaders and staff members related to spatial information.

Uijeongbu City has been operating a water supply and sewerage management system established in 2003, an integrated underground facility information system established in 2009, and a GIS intranet system. However, as the existing spatial information systems have become outdated with technical limitations in functional improvements and insufficient scalability, resulting in difficulties in sharing and utilizing diverse information, the city has pursued this project to establish a spatial information system incorporating the latest GIS technology.

Through this advanced spatial information system project, the city plans to secure system performance and scalability, unify the system in a web-based platform format to efficiently manage spatial information, and establish a support system enabling all staff to utilize spatial information in various administrative tasks for swift and accurate administrative processing in civil petition administration and various permit issuances.

Additionally, the system will be constructed by removing the existing Active X environment, adhering to e-government web standards to secure web compatibility and accessibility, and strengthening security.

Wang Chun-sik, Director of Land Information Division, stated, "Through this project, we plan to not only improve work convenience and efficiency for internal staff but also provide administrative services that can directly and indirectly benefit citizens' lives through spatial information analysis for project planning, systematic facility management for disaster response, and swift countermeasures."
