Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Builds Digital Video System for 'Contactless Communication'

Providing Live Streaming Service for Major Policy and Event Participation Videos

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Starting this month, any citizen will be able to participate in major policies and events of Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City in real-time remotely.

Gwangsan-gu (Mayor Kim Samho) announced on the 3rd that it will introduce an online and offline video broadcasting service by establishing a digital video system.

To strengthen digital capabilities and deliver information efficiently in the post-COVID-19 era, the district established a digital video system in three facilities of the district office building (2nd floor Situation Room, 6th floor Computer Training Room, 7th floor Yunsangwon Hall).

Equipped with HD cameras, integrated broadcasting equipment, large displays, and internal and external streaming servers, it has become possible to provide online and offline real-time broadcasting services that transmit various meetings, training sessions, and events held at the district office in high-definition video.

The district plans to provide the service starting this month through its self-developed streaming platform, ‘Gwangsan-LIVE.’

Any citizen can watch and participate in major events of Gwangsan-gu through PC and mobile devices without having to be physically present.

There is no need for separate registration; simply access the ‘Gwangsan-LIVE’ banner linked on the Gwangsan-gu Office website or the mobile app ‘GwangsanON.’ Up to 500 people can watch the district administration videos in real time.

A function to submit opinions through comments will also be added. It is expected to share district administration quickly and accurately and increase participation through a non-face-to-face digital communication network.

Gwangsan-gu employees can also use ‘Gwangsan-LIVE’ for up to 300 people via the administrative portal. Simultaneous viewing through existing video media such as internal TV broadcasts is also possible.

Meanwhile, the 2nd floor Situation Room and the 6th floor Computer Training Room will utilize large displays (video walls) to enhance offline on-site participation and immersion. Various video contents such as camera footage, PPT, and video conferences can be displayed as single or split screens.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “In a situation where face-to-face contact has been reduced due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, active participation of citizens and employees in district administration is expected through digital video services,” and added, “We will strive to create a space for non-face-to-face communication and collaboration by sharing diverse information and providing an optimal meeting environment.”
