Meanwhile, the corporation is providing highly usable data through collaboration with other institutions and the private sector.

It has linked the Fire Agency's "Building Fire Safety Information System" and "Gas Facility Status by Building" to prevent gas accidents caused by fires.

It has built "G-TOPIA," a system that shares "Gas Usage Facility Inspection History" in real time with local governments, improving administrative efficiency.

This year, it linked with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's "Building Life Cycle Management System" and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's "National Safety Integrated Information System" to disclose legal inspection results of gas facilities to the public.

Through this, it plans to induce gas facility improvements by business operators.
