Gumi-si, 3D High-Precision Electronic Map Production ... 8 Billion KRW Invested

Selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport-led 'High-Precision Electronic Map Construction Challenge Project'

Provides Predictive Information in Case of Disasters Such as Floods and Landslides

Gumi City has been finally selected for the ‘High-Precision Electronic Map Construction Challenge Project’ aimed at the early completion of the digital twin.

Gumi City Hall.

A digital twin is a technology that creates an identical object (twin) in a virtual space to verify it through various simulations.

The project, led by the National Geographic Information Institute of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, involves a total budget of 8 billion KRW (4 billion KRW from the national government and 4 billion KRW from the city government) and is scheduled to be completed by 2024.

The project will build three-dimensional terrain spatial information through aerial surveying (LiDAR imaging) and create a second digital Gumi City by modeling all buildings and facilities in the jurisdiction in 3D.

It is expected to be utilized in various fields such as site analysis, development support, transportation, environment, and disaster management, and will be linked with existing spatial information systems to enable city hall employees to use it for administrative tasks.

Mayor Kim Jang-ho said, “By providing three-dimensional spatial information, we plan to utilize high-precision electronic maps across all areas of Gumi City, enhancing citizens’ experience of spatial information use and accelerating the realization of a digital Gumi.”
