This project, which has been carried out annually since 2008, updates the aerial photographs (orthophotos) in the spatial information system, allowing users to grasp changes in terrain and features within the city at a glance, enabling quick access to the latest information necessary for daily life and work, and supporting efficient decision-making.

Lee Yong-shin, Director of the Information and Communication Division, said, “Through this service, rapidly changing spatial information can be understood more quickly and used effectively,” adding, “We will continue to provide the latest information to strengthen the administrative capabilities of our staff and increase citizen satisfaction with spatial information.”

Meanwhile, the Gwangyang City spatial information system is a system built to allow confirmation of ‘living information’ such as aerial photographs (orthophotos), lot numbers, road names and addresses, building locations; ‘real estate information’ such as official land prices and land area; ‘city bus information’; and various thematic maps (zoning areas, urban planning facilities, etc.).
