Gwangyang City Achieves Highest Level 'Sang' in Regional Informatization Assessment

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced on the 18th that it was included in the ‘Excellent’ category of intelligent informatization level 3 in last year’s ‘Regional Informatization Level Diagnosis’ conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety targeting metropolitan and basic local governments.

Intelligent informatization level 3 corresponds to the stage of ‘establishing the foundation for an intelligent government through digital transformation of overall autonomous administration,’ and about 7% (16 cities/counties) of the 228 basic local governments were included, with Gwangyang City being the only one in Jeollanam-do to achieve this.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s recent regional informatization level diagnosis was conducted from a comprehensive perspective covering infrastructure, users, and performance, rather than focusing on individual information services, to strengthen responsiveness in the intelligent informatization era.

The levels were classified into three stages: level 3 included 7% (16 cities/counties), level 2 included 88% (201 cities/counties), and level 1 included 5% (11 cities/counties).

Lee Ju-ok, Director of the Information and Communication Division, said, “The result of Gwangyang City achieving first place in Jeollanam-do and sixth nationwide in this regional informatization level diagnosis is the fruit of efforts to incorporate new informatization technologies into local administration so far,” adding, “We will continue to strive to further mature and develop regional informatization through active utilization of intelligent information technologies.”
