Gangnam-gu Develops Nation's First 'Online Simple Entry Log' Independently

Save Waiting Time with Tablet Authentication When Visiting District Office ... Voice Recognition Service to Be Developed Soon

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) has become the first district in the nation to independently develop an ‘Online Simple Entry Log’ using tablets instead of handwritten logs when visiting the district office, and began full-scale operation on the 11th.

The district proactively established a system to digitize and store information and data in advance, following the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s standards that handwritten logs pose a high risk of personal information leakage and potential misuse for crimes if lost, and that others’ information must not be visible when filling out logs.

The online log system allows visitors to the district office to enter their name and phone number on a tablet monitor, check for fever symptoms, and verify their visit, reducing waiting times caused by handwritten entries.

It is also expected to assist seniors, children, and others who do not have smartphones or have difficulty using QR codes. Visitors’ personal information is collected in encrypted form and automatically deleted after four weeks.

Earlier, in May, Gangnam-gu independently developed a simple inquiry service that calculates various cash-type disaster relief funds at once, and has been proactively developing services that enhance convenience for residents, such as sharing the development source code upon request from Seoul City and other local governments.

Lee Ki-ho, Director of Policy and Public Relations, stated, “We plan to add voice recognition services so that information-vulnerable groups such as the visually impaired can also use the online entry log in the future,” and added, “As an ‘Ontact Leader,’ we will create tangible results that Gangnam residents can feel.”
