Digital Twin National Land Pilot Project Conducted in 10 Locations Including Incheon and Jeju-do

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation announced on the 11th that they have selected a total of 10 regions, including Incheon and Jeju Island, as pilot sites for the Digital Twin Land project.

Digital Twin Land is a national location-based platform that creates a three-dimensional virtual world identical to the actual land to enable intelligent management of the territory and customized problem-solving for citizens' lives. It is one of the 10 representative tasks of the Korean New Deal.

The project is divided into infrastructure construction projects, which are national subsidy projects promoted on a metropolitan scale, and balanced development projects, which are funded by the Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation at the county level.

The infrastructure construction project sites selected are Incheon City, Jeju Island, Jangseong County in Jeollanam-do, Asan City in Chungcheongnam-do, and Uljin County in Gyeongsangbuk-do.

In Incheon, an integrated platform for on-site fire response command based on digital twin technology will be established, and in Jeju Island, an open platform for Jeju environmental impact assessment will be built. In Asan City, an intelligent river management system utilizing drones and an underground space database will be promoted.

The balanced development project sites are Namhae County in Gyeongsangnam-do, Jincheon County in Chungcheongbuk-do, Gokseong County in Jeollanam-do, Gijang County in Busan, and Wanju County in Jeollabuk-do. In Jincheon County, a land development permit support system will be established, and in Gijang County, a digital twin platform for the Orasia tourist complex will be built.

The selected local governments will each receive financial support ranging from 300 million to 700 million KRW over the next year. Additionally, data and service models based on the digital twin concept will be developed for each local government.

Nam Young-woo, Director of Land Information Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, emphasized, "We will further strive to implement Digital Twin Land so that digital twin technology can advance administrative services and solve urban problems with a field-centered approach."
