Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Leads Digital New Deal with 'Public Data Dam'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Samho) announced on the 27th that as part of the ‘Gwangsan-type Happiness New Deal,’ it is creating the ‘Gwangsan-type Public Data Dam’ to systematically manage data while analyzing and visualizing various data to provide to citizens.

Recently, President Moon Jae-in stated that the government's Digital New Deal involves creating a data dam, and the data held by public institutions and local governments is the source of the Korean-style data dam.

Gwangsan-gu plans to respond to this government policy by building a public data dam, systematically managing and refining the data it holds to produce high-quality data.

The main contents of the Gwangsan-type Public Data Dam are broadly twofold.

First, Gwangsan-gu will establish a standard database capable of automatically refining and integrally managing about 400 types of data currently collected and produced.

Second, it will create a system that automatically links this database to existing data analysis programs and the Gwangsan-gu public data platform.

With the construction of the public data dam, Gwangsan-gu expects to establish a data-driven scientific administration culture within the public sector and lead the AI-based society promoted by the government.

Furthermore, it plans to provide various data visualization services to citizens using the public data platform and collect and disclose artificial intelligence (AI) data to create an environment for discovering new digital businesses.
