Fast and Efficient! ... Busan Gijang-gun Communicates with Construction Sites and SNS

Busan Gijang-gun has been using social networking services (SNS) since this year for efficient safety management at construction sites.

This service requires permit officers to have construction personnel join an SNS (Band) as a condition for new construction and demolition approvals, enabling real-time communication. The service was established to ensure constant management at construction sites against natural disasters, safety accidents, and to respond immediately in emergency situations.

Construction supervisors and responsible officials quickly share construction status, safety inspection results, and civil complaints, communicating bidirectionally. The permit department can efficiently manage each phase of construction using the shared site information.

Construction supervisors also benefit from promptly accessing information related to natural disasters such as typhoons and rapidly changing laws and regulations.

Gijang-gun is focusing the service on construction sites vulnerable to safety risks for effective management. Mandatory subscription applies to 42 sites with a total floor area of 2,000㎡ or more and buildings of 10 floors or higher, where accident risks are relatively high. Based on the analysis of service operation results, the plan is to expand it to smaller construction sites in the future.

County Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, “Communication using social networking services will raise the responsibility awareness of construction personnel and contribute to preventing safety accidents in advance,” adding, “We will implement an open construction administrative service based on residents’ trust and participation.”
