Secured 200 Million KRW in National Funding for 2020 Public Data Enterprise Matching Support Project Led by Ministry of the Interior and Safety... Created Database (DB) Collecting Local Restaurant Information Including Names, Locations, Menus, and Photos

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) has been selected for the '2020 Public Data Enterprise Matching Support' contest organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, receiving 200 million KRW in national funding.

The Public Data Enterprise Matching Support project matches institutions (demand institutions) that require public data construction and processing technology with data companies (supply companies) possessing related technologies, and supports budgets necessary for data construction, processing, supervision, and inspection.

In this project, 121 tasks were applied for by 83 institutions, and through an online (Zoom) presentation evaluation, 84 tasks from 61 institutions were finally selected.

Among them, the district submitted a task for building a regional restaurant database (DB) in partnership with a tourism startup company operating the Smart Food Tourism Big Data Center to promote the activation of local food tourism culture, and was finally selected.

The district announced that through a full survey targeting all restaurants (including exemplary restaurants) in the region, it will provide various information desired by users as public data, including business names, locations, menus, and interior photos of the stores.

The regional restaurant-related data constructed through the task will be disclosed later via the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Public Data Portal site.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, "This regional restaurant DB construction project is an opportunity to upgrade the local food tourism culture based on big data," and added, "We hope it will revitalize the local commercial district and leap forward as a new smart tourism city in the post-COVID-19 era."
