In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, a district in Seoul actively integrating science into administration is drawing attention.

Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seongheon) announced on the 3rd that it is striving for smart district administration through scientific and objective big data analysis and digital technology-based policy decisions and administrative services.

Based on an analysis of the achievements during the first year of the 8th elected term, the district is conducting BSC (Balanced Score Card) analysis and resident satisfaction surveys to promote sustainable policies and manage portfolios for service improvement.

Additionally, big data-based analyses of sales, business types, and traffic volume are utilized to establish policies for revitalizing commercial areas, and big data analysis materials are also used for surveys and tailored policy development related to young caregivers, youth, single-person households, and civil complaint processing.

Furthermore, based on smart innovative technologies using IoT and artificial intelligence, the district has enhanced disaster response capabilities such as flood and fire prevention in semi-underground households and crowd management, and established control environments for Ansan and Hongjecheon.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) such as AI caregivers, smart visit services, and safety management solutions are also being used to discover and monitor welfare blind spots.

The district secured a budget of 1.35 billion KRW for three projects by participating in the ‘Science and Technology Utilization Resident-Engaged Regional Problem Solving Project’ jointly hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

In addition, it has been selected for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s ‘Demand-Customized Service Robot Development and Distribution Project,’ the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘Eup/Myeon/Dong Smart Welfare and Safety Service Improvement Model Development Support Project,’ and Seoul City’s ‘Citizen-Experienced Smart Service Pilot Project’ and ‘Crime Prevention Infrastructure Construction Project,’ promoting life-centered service innovation.

The district is also making great efforts to create a rational and scientific organizational culture that values practicality over formality.

Examples include Seodaemun Distinguished Lectures to learn the latest trends such as ChatGPT, Policy Empathy Talks for horizontal communication, a Policy Advisory Committee and Chief Planner operation to enhance policy completeness through experts.

Lee Seongheon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “In the second year of the 8th elected term, we will continue to strive to provide faster and easier administrative services to residents through proactive smart administration.”
