Suwon Receives Excellence Award at Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '3D Landscape Design Technology Contest'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon announced on the 3rd that it received an excellence award at the '3D Landscape Design Technology Contest' hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport by submitting 'Three-Dimensional Landscape Simulation Designing the Future.'

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport held the '3D Landscape Design Technology Contest' for the first time this year, open to anyone including public institutions, private companies, individuals, and organizations. The purpose is to encourage the utilization and development of landscape management technology using three-dimensional spatial information and to revitalize related industries.

Award-winning works were selected through presentation reviews including program demonstrations and work descriptions.

Suwon was recognized for the excellence of its 3D platform service (3D spatial information utilization system). '3D spatial information' is an information technology that implements high-resolution three-dimensional space similar to reality, going beyond flat photographs (two-dimensional).

The 'Three-Dimensional Spatial Information Utilization System' constructed in 2014 using high-precision aerial photographs, images, and numerical maps is a program enabling three-dimensional analysis of sunlight and views, facility location conditions, altitude restriction analysis, and urban landscape analysis. It is being utilized in various administrative tasks including urban landscape, construction, flood prevention and disaster management, and Hwaseong Fortress tourism in Suwon.

Park Byung-gyu, director of the Land Information Division at Suwon City, stated, "The range of applications for 3D spatial information platforms utilizing digital twin technology is expanding," and added, "We will actively support the use of the 3D spatial information system when making policy decisions."

Digital twin is a platform that collects, analyzes, and visualizes city data based on 3D geographic information in real time, and operates in connection with mobile services such as smartphones to provide ultra-precision 3D geographic information services.
