Eight Facilities in Suwon and Yongin Offer Discounts Through Gyeonggi DDok

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province will officially launch 'Gyeonggi DDok,' a customized administrative service using public my-data, on the 27th.

The plan is to innovate administrative services by providing personalized information alerts along with a resident card and electronic wallet service.

According to the province on the 26th, 'Gyeonggi DDok' is a name selected through resident participation contests and expert review from both internal and external sectors, containing the meaning of a 'smart data service' that intelligently provides customized information desired by residents.

Gyeonggi DDok provides ▲'Customized Benefit Information Service' offering welfare information and public recruitment information for residents ▲'Resident Card,' a personal verification service based on public my-data ▲'Electronic Wallet' service that allows users to store and use various electronic certificates on their mobile phones.

The customized information service, which provides only benefits perfectly suited to individuals, selects approximately 1,300 pieces of benefit information provided by the government, the province, municipal and county governments, and public institutions according to individual conditions, and sends notifications when it is time to apply.

For example, when residents turn 24 years old, they are informed of Gyeonggi Province Youth Basic Income application information, and when they move to another municipal or county area, they receive guidance on welfare information available in that region.

In addition to simple notifications, the alert service provides detailed information on application methods, required documents, and application websites, helping residents not miss out on available benefits.

The resident card allows personal verification through text message authentication alone, enabling visitors to receive discounts at public facilities without submitting separate supporting documents.

It reduces the inconvenience of having to prepare and carry various supporting documents such as resident registration transcripts and family relationship certificates on each visit, and helps residents conveniently receive entrance discounts.

In the first half of this year, pilot operations will run at eight facilities in Suwon and Yongin including ▲Hwaseong Haenggung Palace ▲Gwanggyo Lake Park Campground ▲Suwon Municipal Art Park Museum ▲Yongin Natural Recreation Forest ▲Yongin Rural Theme Park ▲Gyeonggi Province Pine Scent Green Forest ▲Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum, and the province plans to expand to other municipal and county areas in the second half so more residents can conveniently use the service.

With the electronic wallet service, users can easily issue and store 66 types of government-issued certificates such as resident registration transcripts anytime and anywhere on their mobile devices, and it is expected they will be able to conveniently use them in daily life.

As the government expands the scope of certificate issuance in the future, the province plans to continue expanding the types of certificates available for issuance.

Gyeonggi DDok can be downloaded by searching for 'Gyeonggi DDok' or 'Gyeonggi DDok D' on Google Play Store or Apple App Store, and most services can be used with just personal verification without requiring separate membership registration or login.

Kim Gyu-shik, Gyeonggi Province's Future Growth Policy Director, said, "As digital transformation has accelerated after COVID-19, residents are seeking personalized and customized services from administrative agencies," adding "We will continue to develop 'Gyeonggi DDok' to provide customized provincial services based on data that can communicate with and be trusted by residents."

Meanwhile, the province plans to launch the 'My-Data Report' service that provides lifestyle reports based on public my-data in August, and will test the 'My-Data Platform Service,' which allows users to store and directly utilize my-data where they want in November.
