Gyeonggi-do, First Local Government to Disclose Disaster Prevention Facilities Status of 478 Tunnels in the Province

Current Status of Tunnel Disaster Prevention Facilities in Gyeonggi Province

Gyeonggi Province has become the first local government to disclose the status information of tunnel disaster prevention facilities within the province through Gyeonggi Data Dream (www.data.gg.go.kr).

The data released this time is compiled from tunnel data provided by the Gyeonggi Provincial Construction Headquarters, city and county offices, Suwon and Uijeongbu National Land Management Offices, and Korea Expressway Corporation. It contains information on 478 tunnels including general national roads, local roads, nationally supported local roads, and expressways.

In particular, it includes detailed basic tunnel information such as the route name where the tunnel is located, scale, and location, as well as information on the installation status of disaster prevention facilities such as fire hydrants, emergency phones, emergency alarm equipment, smoke control facilities, emergency refuge shelters, emergency parking spaces, and emergency outlets installed in the tunnels.

For tunnels with confirmed latitude and longitude, tunnel information is also provided in map form to allow intuitive understanding of the tunnel status.

The province expects that by opening this tunnel disaster prevention facility data, it will alleviate concerns about tunnel safety and enable quick response in emergency situations by checking disaster prevention facility information.

The province plans to regularly update and provide tunnel information under its jurisdiction in the future.

Kim Hyun-dae, Director of the Future Growth Industry Bureau of the province, said, "As a driver, I have felt anxious thinking that accidents could occur while passing through tunnels," and emphasized, "We will continue to improve the convenience of residents through public data disclosure and strive to create a safer community."
