Statistics Korea and SK Telecom Launch 'Advanced Floating Population Map Service'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Statistics Korea and SK Telecom announced that starting from the 5th, they will launch an advanced floating population map service based on mobile big data.

This service visualizes various information on the map, including actual resident population, registered population, travel, and commercial districts, in addition to the inflow and outflow status of population by city, county, and district, which was opened in December last year.

It is expected to be widely used for establishing and evaluating policies related to population movement such as transportation and tourism, as well as for developing business models.

An official from Statistics Korea stated, "We will continue to expand the map service content with SK Telecom and strive to produce and provide various statistics through the linkage of public data and private mobile big data."
