Gokseong-gun Selected for Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Digital Twin Land Pilot Project

Secured a Total Budget of 300 Million KRW for the 'Regional Development G-Metaverse Construction' Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 10th that it has been selected for the ‘Digital Twin Land’ local government pilot contest project, which is being launched for the first time this year by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation.

‘Digital Twin Land’ is one of the top 10 Korean New Deal projects under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It is a location-based spatial information platform that implements a three-dimensional virtual world identical to Korea’s land to intelligently manage the territory and solve problems in citizens’ lives.

The contest project is divided into two fields: infrastructure construction and balanced development. The county applied in the balanced development field under the project name ‘Regional Development G-Metaverse Construction’ and secured a total budget of 300 million KRW, with the entire project cost funded by national government support without any separate county expenditure.

The project contents include shared property management using three-dimensional spatial information, disaster prevention and damage minimization based on IoT sensors, traffic analysis and road management based on administrative, public, and private data, modeling of major tourist sites and facilities to build the Gokseong-gun Metaverse, and visualization of county administration status.

Through the project, the county plans to integrate various types of information into a spatial information system called Digital Twin Land for modeling and simulation, and utilize it to minimize damage by predicting accidents that may occur due to terrain changes such as roads and buildings in advance.

Additionally, based on spatial information, the county expects to maximize administrative efficiency by managing county administration status, facility information, tourist and commercial district analysis data in a three-dimensional manner, supporting work simplification and rational decision-making.

A county official said, “Recently, the applicability and importance of metaverse technology using three-dimensional spatial information have been increasing.” He added, “This project will be an important opportunity to incorporate digital twin and metaverse technology into administrative services, and we will do our best to promote the project.”
