Introduction of Electronic Registry (QR Code) for Access to Suncheon City Hall

Rapid and Accurate Management of Building Entry Logs to Prevent Infectious Diseases and Enhance Civil Service Convenience

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) has introduced an electronic entry log (QR code) using information technology (IT) at the city hall from the 20th to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Following recent government epidemiological investigations revealing shortcomings in quarantine measures such as false entries in visitor logs, Suncheon City has promoted the electronic entry log at the city hall to quickly and accurately identify visitors and block infections.

Citizens receive a QR code via a mobile app when entering the main city hall building, and scan the QR code on tablet PCs installed at the building entrances to create a visit record.

The visit records are stored and managed on a server and will be used for prompt quarantine measures in case of confirmed cases.

Suncheon City plans to alleviate citizens' inconvenience by allowing handwritten visitor logs alongside the electronic system for elderly people or those who do not use smartphones.

Mayor Heo Seok of Suncheon said, “With the introduction of this electronic entry log, we expect more systematic and accurate management by improving the handwritten method, which had concerns about false entries and information leakage.” He added, “We will continue to respond proactively to build a tighter quarantine network so that citizens can feel safe.”
