Dongdaemun-gu Selected for Smart City Integrated Platform Infrastructure Project

Selected for Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Public Project... Securing Golden Time in Cases of Public Life and Property Protection... District Office CCTV Integrated Control Center Linked with 112, 119 Public Safety and Smart City Integrated Platform

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) announced that it has been finally selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's public contest project, the '2020 Smart City Integrated Platform Infrastructure Construction Project,' securing 600 million KRW in national funding.

In order to actively solve various urban problems using smart technology, Dongdaemun-gu reorganized its existing Computer Information Division into the Smart City Division in January this year, newly establishing the ▲Smart Control Team and ▲Big Data Team, making every effort to build a smart city and achieving valuable results.

The Smart City Integrated Platform Infrastructure Construction Project is part of the Korean New Deal, linking CCTV integrated control centers managed by local governments with public safety sectors such as 112 and 119, establishing an urban safety network and creating a smart city operation foundation.

With the selection in this contest project, the police station and fire station will receive real-time CCTV information such as disaster status, crime scenes, and traffic conditions through the Dongdaemun-gu Office CCTV Integrated Control Center, securing golden time in emergencies and enabling prompt response.

Additionally, to protect socially vulnerable groups such as children and dementia patients, in case of a crisis, the CCTV control center receives their location information from telecommunications companies to quickly identify their whereabouts and report to the police or fire station or provide situation information within the golden time.

You Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “Since this project is promoted as part of the Digital New Deal responding to crises after COVID-19, we will closely cooperate with related organizations such as Seoul City, police, and fire departments to successfully complete the project.” He added, “If smart technology is actively utilized to solve various urban problems such as transportation, welfare, and safety in the future, Dongdaemun-gu can rise as a smart city that opens dreams.”
