[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan City has been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's (MOLIT) 2022 Local Government Spatial Information Excellence Project competition with the project submitted by the city titled "Establishment of Subsidence Risk Map Using Road Sinkhole Damage Index (CDI) Model Based on Underground Facility Database (DB)."

The 2022 Local Government Spatial Information Excellence Project competition is a program by MOLIT to discover and support excellent local government project models utilizing spatial information and to expand these models nationwide. This is the second time the competition has been held since last year.

The competition was held for 19 days from June 13 to July 1.

MOLIT selected projects from Seoul City, Busan City, and Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province as excellent projects in three categories: Infrastructure Establishment, Convergent Utilization, and Growth Cooperation, respectively.

Busan City submitted the project titled "Establishment of Subsidence Risk Map Using Road Sinkhole Damage Index (CDI) Model Based on Underground Facility Database (DB)" for the competition.

The project was selected as an excellent project in the Convergent Utilization category and will receive a spatial information project subsidy of 58 million KRW from MOLIT.

The subsidence risk map establishment project links MOLIT's underground facility database with Busan City's independently developed Road Sinkhole Damage Index (CDI) model to create a subsidence risk map and build a platform to utilize the map.

MOLIT evaluated the city's idea and project plan as excellent, noting that linking the Road Sinkhole Damage Index (CDI) model with the spatial information database can be used for underground safety management and that the project has potential for expansion, such as being used in establishing underground safety management plans.

Lim Kyung-mo, Director of the Urban Planning Bureau of Busan City, said, "The selection in the competition has proven the excellence of the 'Establishment of Subsidence Risk Map Using Road Sinkhole Damage Index (CDI) Model Based on Underground Facility Database (DB)' project. Through this project, we will establish a smart underground safety management system and ensure systematic road management according to risk levels."
