Suwon's Best Proactive Governance Initiative in Second Half of 2020: 'Smart Integrated Parking Information System'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City announced on the 29th that it had selected 5 outstanding cases of 'proactive governance in the second half of 2020.'

The selection of outstanding proactive governance cases is conducted in three stages: a written evaluation (1st round) by a review panel composed of citizens and civil servants, an online vote by citizens (2nd round), and the determination of awards by the Proactive Governance Support Committee (3rd round).

The outstanding proactive governance cases selected this round are: ▲the Urban Transportation Division's integrated public parking information system ▲the Tourism Division's safe accommodation for overseas visitors' families ▲the Urban Design Group's outdoor advertisement installation standards information provision ▲the Urban Regeneration Division's multi-child family Suwon Human Housing support project ▲the Jangan-gu Family Welfare Division's online safety accident prevention education.

The top-selected case is the integrated public parking information system. In partnership with SK Telecom, the city is the first among local governments nationwide to build and operate the 'Smart Integrated Parking Information System.'

Users of the 'T map' and 'T map Parking' apps can conveniently check information related to Suwon's 68 public parking facilities, including their locations, parking fees, and real-time available parking spaces.

Meanwhile, in the first half of this year, the outstanding proactive governance case was the Urban Safety Integrated Center's 'Korea's first! Emergency vehicle priority signal system (center-based) construction and operation.' Currently, benchmarking by other local governments (Busan Metropolitan City, Hwaseong City, etc.) is ongoing, and a technology-sharing business agreement was also signed with Ulsan Metropolitan City.
