‘Seocho Big Data Platform’ Opens

‘Seocho Big Data Platform’ Enables Real-Time Integration and Monitoring of 11 Public Data Categories and Over 480 Types Scattered Across District Departments... Divided into External System for Public Access and Internal System for Staff Policy Development

S Seocho-gu, the only autonomous district in Seoul recognized as a smart city both domestically and internationally, is embarking on scientific administration based on big data.

Seocho-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) will launch the ‘Seocho Big Data Platform’ on the 16th, which visualizes various administrative information for residents in an easy-to-understand way and enables the use of administrative data across departments.

The ‘Seocho Big Data Platform’ is a system that integrates about 480 types of public data across 11 categories scattered among the district’s departments, allowing real-time monitoring. It is divided into an external system for public access and an internal system for staff to utilize in policy-making.

This system offers advantages by enabling scientific administration and swift policy decisions through big data for district employees, while fulfilling residents’ right to know and providing information.

First, the internal platform collects and links various administrative data to provide diverse analysis cases. This allows for prompt resolution of residents’ inconveniences, utilization in policy formulation and decision-making, and customized administrative services. Additionally, it significantly reduces processing time, enhancing administrative efficiency and enabling scientific solutions.

The service items include ▲Data Holdings ▲Data Management ▲Data Analysis ▲Seocho-type Analysis Models ▲Status Analysis Cases ▲Statistics Themes, totaling six categories. Furthermore, data is analyzed across 25 subtopics such as population distribution, disaster safety, and health to be used in policy-making.

For example, when selecting CCTV locations for parking regulation, data such as existing CCTV installation sites and previously received parking violation complaints are used to predict optimal CCTV placement. This allows checking enforcement status and the number of violations by type, enabling policy direction setting to prevent illegal parking in the respective neighborhoods.

In addition, flood status and flood control resource data, previously managed manually, have been visualized on maps. By accumulating real-time data, it can be used as a basis for establishing flood prevention measures.

The external platform visualizes district data such as real-time disaster safety information, road traffic information, and population, welfare, and economic status for residents. It can be accessed by entering the address in a web browser or selecting the Big Data Platform menu at the top of the district’s homepage.

The main services include ▲Real-time City Status ▲Indicators by Sector ▲Seocho Viewed on Maps ▲Data Utilization ▲Seocho Statistical Yearbook, five categories in total. First, ‘Real-time City Status’ provides real-time information on disasters such as fires and emergencies, traffic conditions including construction and accidents, air quality such as fine dust and noise, and congestion levels in major dense areas. ‘Indicators by Sector’ visualizes information in 10 fields such as population, welfare, and education with graphs to compare administrative districts and autonomous districts and observe trends by date. ‘Seocho Viewed on Maps’ allows users to grasp the location information of various facilities such as emergency fire equipment, evacuation facilities, and sports and welfare facilities at a glance.

Going forward, the district plans to enhance this platform and actively reflect user feedback to improve and advance the services.

Jeon Seong-su, Mayor of Seocho-gu, said, “The establishment of this big data platform will help solve urban problems and residents’ inconveniences,” adding, “We will continue to introduce smart technologies and scientific administration throughout daily life so that residents can enjoy a safe daily life in a pleasant environment.”
