[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 30th that Kim Suhyun, a land management officer, won the grand prize in the visualization category for public officials at the '2020 Public Big Data Analysis Contest.'

Hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and organized by the National Information Society Agency, this year's 'Public Big Data Analysis Contest' was held under the theme "Leading the Digital New Deal through Big Data Analysis!"

It became a platform where various groups nationwide, including citizens, public officials, and administrative/public institutions, competed in their capabilities to utilize public big data.

The contest was divided into three categories: general citizens, public officials, and excellent institutional cases, with 165 entries submitted nationwide.

Each category was evaluated in two fields: 'analysis' and 'visualization.'

Officer Kim advanced to the finals and won the grand prize in the highly competitive 'visualization' field with the idea titled "Sharing the Use of Map Production for Public Data Visualization," proving the excellence of Jeonnam Province's big data utilization capabilities nationwide.

The idea "Sharing the Use of Map Production for Public Data Visualization," which won the grand prize this year, involves creating maps that allow residents to see administrative data and various statistical data expressed in text or numbers at a glance by using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which is expected to greatly help residents understand administration.

Officer Kim said, "Winning the contest is meaningful as it recognizes the value of utilizing public data and the passion and competitiveness we experimented with in policy data visualization. This achievement was possible thanks to the outstanding ideas of the members who participated in the research together. Moving forward, I will continue to share creative ideas with staff and propose them as policies to help digitalize provincial administration work."

Myeong Changhwan, Director of Planning and Coordination at Jeonnam Province, said, "Despite the difficult conditions caused by COVID-19, not only the public official research groups but also participants in the public big data contest showed great enthusiasm and achieved good results. We will take the lead in utilizing public data so that residents can benefit by producing good results in contests that strengthen digital capabilities."
