Hwaseong Special City Launches Administrative Information System Upgrade Ahead of District Office Establishment

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Hwaseong Special City has launched full-scale work on upgrading its administrative information system to ensure a successful launch of its district office system on February 1, 2025.

On the 27th, the city held a signing ceremony for a "Memorandum of Understanding for Administrative Information System Data Conversion Support" in the central conference room of City Hall, attended by Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun and Director Park Deok-soo of the Korea Local Information Development Institute.

The MOU was pursued to ensure seamless provision of public services even after the district office launch and to secure the stability and continuity of administrative operations by comprehensively converting data including administrative standard codes such as administrative districts, legal districts, institutions, and road name codes that will change with the establishment of district offices.

The Korea Local Information Development Institute is an organization with extensive experience and expertise related to administrative district reorganization of local governments. Both organizations agreed to establish a close cooperative relationship not only for data conversion but also for supporting service stabilization following the district office launch.

In particular, both agreed to cooperate on systematic data conversion including analysis, program development, simulation training, actual data conversion, and post-conversion stabilization support for national standard and unified administrative information systems such as local taxes, resident information systems, and road name addresses that are the targets of the upgrade.

Director Park Deok-soo of the Korea Local Information Development Institute stated, "The data conversion target systems are closely related to citizens' daily lives," and added, "We will actively cooperate to ensure Hwaseong City's successful launch of its district office system."

Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun said, "Through the launch of the district office system in February next year, we are making all necessary preparations so that citizens can access faster and more convenient administrative services from locations closer to them," and continued, "Administrative information system data conversion is a key foundation for a successful district office launch. We will cooperate closely with the institute and systematically pursue this to prevent inconvenience to citizens."
