Korea Forest Welfare Institute Establishes Regional Meteorological Environment Information Collection System

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Forest Welfare Institute has completed the establishment of a regional forest meteorological environment factor system.

As part of the Smart Forest Welfare Facility Development Project, the Forest Welfare Institute announced on the 28th that it has completed a system for collecting regional forest environment factors by installing Internet of Things (IoT) measurement sensors at the National Forest Healing Center, the National Jangseong Forest Healing Center, Healing Forests, and 10 national forest welfare facilities nationwide.

The IoT devices, equipped with measurement sensors, automatically collect 10 types of forest meteorological environment factors such as temperature, humidity, and fine dust at the installation sites.

The Forest Welfare Institute plans to utilize the information collected through these devices for customer services such as forest healing indices, recommendation services, and weather forecasts for forest welfare facilities.

Forest meteorological environment information can also be accessed by anyone through the forest welfare app ‘Healing e-Sup’ and the official website.

Lee Woo-jin, Head of the Win-Win Growth Support Division at the Forest Welfare Institute, stated, “We will ensure that customer-centered forest welfare services are provided based on the collected forest environment factor data.”
