[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jucheol In] Kim Doo-kwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea (Yangsan-eul), visited the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation (LX) on the 16th to review the current status of 'Digital Land Information' and discuss regional digital new industry strategies with officials.

Currently, LX is promoting a digital transformation using digital twins and the metaverse amid the expanding trend of virtual convergence spaces.

The Digital Twin Land is one of the top 10 tasks of the Korean New Deal, a location-based platform that implements a virtual world like the land in 3D to enable intelligent management of the land and customized problem-solving for citizens' lives.

The Metaverse is a compound word of Meta, meaning processing and abstraction, and Universe, meaning the real world, referring to a 3D virtual world where social, economic, and cultural activities are conducted using avatars on the web.

LX has completed building a 3D spatial information system, such as the urban landscape of Jeonju City, Jeollabuk-do, linked with administrative data to create urban problem-solving services. It is also continuously investing in the government's digital twin land pilot project through the nationwide expansion of local government twin models.

Assemblyman Kim Doo-kwan emphasized the importance of LX's role, stating, "Securing spatial information is a very important issue for national balanced development. Especially, scientific and precise data on spatial information, which forms the foundation for the super metropolitan mega-city concept, is necessary."

He added, "If the ongoing digital twin land pilot project is successfully carried out, it will greatly contribute to the next government's national balanced development plan."
