Guri City Installs Digital Display Board...Begins Pilot Operation for Smart Digital Administration Promotion

[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong Reporter] Guri City announced on the 19th that it has installed a digital display board with government funding support from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's modernization project for designated banner posting sites, and has begun pilot operations using promotional content on municipal policies.

The digital display board installed this time is Guri City's first digital display board, and has been constructed at a size of 4.6 meters wide by 2.5 meters tall (11.5㎡ total area) and 6 meters in height in front of the Samheung Building at Gyomun Intersection, the gateway to Guri City.

During the pilot operation, the city plans to focus on effectively communicating major municipal policies and information to citizens, and after the pilot operation concludes, plans to enter formal operations by entrusting management to a specialized agency.

The installation of this digital display board marks a transition from the existing banner-centered promotional approach to a digital-based smart promotional platform, while also expected to significantly contribute to improving urban aesthetics by reducing indiscriminate illegal banner postings.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun stated, "The digital display board is a smart promotional channel that improves urban aesthetics while more effectively conveying municipal policies to citizens, and is also expected to serve as a new promotional channel for local small business owners," adding, "We will continue to expand the foundation for citizen communication utilizing advanced technology."
