[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando County, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that it promulgated the Wando County Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operation and Management Regulations on the 19th to establish an institutional foundation for the acquisition, management, and utilization of spatial information using unmanned aerial vehicles (hereinafter referred to as ‘drones’) and to operate and manage them safely and efficiently for public purposes.

Based on the ‘Aviation Safety Act’ and the ‘Framework Act on National Spatial Information,’ these regulations contain comprehensive operational guidelines for safe and efficient drone use, including drone operation and management, filming, and spatial information management and security.

Since 2019, the county has promoted the ‘Smart Drone Operation Project for Disaster and Accident Management’ as a leading project funded by the Special Disaster Safety Grant, establishing a drone platform.

Through this, the county plans to integrate it into administrative tasks and contribute to improving the quality of life for residents by enabling rapid disaster and accident response in cooperation with related organizations.

County Governor Shin Woo-cheol said, “With the establishment of these regulations, we believe we have laid the groundwork to position ourselves as a leading local government in drones suitable for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era and to provide high-quality administrative services to our residents.”
