[Asia Economy (Naepo) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province is establishing an integrated platform to address disasters, safety, and urban issues occurring in the region.

On the 13th, the province announced that it held a kickoff meeting for the 'Chungnam Smart City Metropolitan Integrated Platform Construction Project.' The integrated platform is expected to be completed by May next year.

The province expects the integrated platform to play a role in reducing safety incidents such as traffic accidents, crimes, and fires.

Above all, the province explained that the platform will overcome the limitations of the past, where sharing situations between local governments was impossible when urban problems such as crime routes, wildfires, and foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks occurred beyond administrative units of each city and province, enabling metropolitan-centered information sharing and utilization.

For example, the province anticipates that by integrating and linking 21,145 CCTVs widely distributed across the region through the integrated platform, it will create conditions to reduce the number of five major crimes and respond quickly to disasters and emergencies.

Services to be provided through this include ▲ sharing emergency on-site video with the 112 center and dispatch ▲ wanted vehicle search ▲ 119 emergency dispatch ▲ emergency response to disaster situations.

Additionally, the province expects to provide life-oriented services such as a spatial information integrated platform, route bus operation management system, real-time drone video relay service, and safe return home service for residents.

Park Yeon-jin, Director of the Construction and Transportation Bureau of the province, said, “With the establishment of the integrated system, Chungnam will be able to receive real-time traffic information and fire footage, enabling swift responses to disaster situations.” He added, “Through this, the province expects not only to secure the golden time in emergencies but also to expand the provision of life-oriented services to residents.”
