Seoul City Expands Integrated Committee Management System to 6 Locations

Expanded from 2 Locations (Dogyewi and Dogeonwi) to 6 Including Urban Regeneration Committees
Establishment of Committee Archive

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dong-hyun] The Seoul Metropolitan Government is promoting the establishment of a 'Committee Archive' that integrates and manages the Urban Planning Committee and six other urban planning-related committees. An 'archive' refers to a collection of materials digitized and gathered in one place for easy management and search. The plan is to add four more committees, including the Urban Regeneration Committee, to the system currently operated by two committees such as the Urban and Architectural Joint Committee.

According to the Public Procurement Service's Nara Marketplace on the 24th, Seoul recently issued a service contract for the expansion and construction of an integrated management operation system for the Urban Planning Committee. The budget required for the service is 231 million KRW. A Seoul city official stated, "We plan to receive bids from software vendors by the 7th of next month and conduct the research service over the next eight months."

The integrated management operation system for committees was developed starting in May 2018 and completed in March last year, aiming for efficient operation and data management of urban planning-related committees. Currently, this system is only utilized by the Urban Planning Committee and the Urban Architecture Committee, which are operated under the Urban Planning Bureau. The city plans to expand the integration scope to include the Urban Regeneration Committee of the Urban Regeneration Office, the Market Maintenance Project Deliberation Committee, and the Urban Redevelopment Committee and Architecture Committee of the Housing and Architecture Headquarters.

The main functions of this system include digitizing the entire process from committee meeting preparation, deliberation operation, post-meeting result reporting, to follow-up actions, and managing the data produced at each operational stage. It also enables history management by agenda, statistical analysis through output data, and report creation. Additionally, it is planned to be linked with Seoul's work management system and urban planning information system.

A Seoul city official said, "We plan to implement reference materials related to committee deliberations in an archive format to enhance the committee deliberation system," adding, "Once system standardization is achieved, we will expand this to frontline autonomous districts and other city and provincial committees in the future."
