The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that it has designated the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation (LX) Seoul Headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, as the first Spatial Information Safe Zone and will begin operations with an opening ceremony on the same day.

The Spatial Information Safe Zone is a secure area where the public can freely analyze restricted information that is difficult to access or utilize. After prior application and visiting the site, users can analyze data and have the results reviewed before exporting them. The restricted information here refers to highly detailed or coordinate-included three-dimensional (3D) spatial information that cannot be disclosed for security reasons.

The Ministry expects that by designating the Spatial Information Safe Zone, essential data serving as core infrastructure for the development of digital twins, urban air mobility (UAM), autonomous driving, smart cities, and as a foundation for national projects (realizing digital economy hegemony) will be more conveniently utilized across all industries.

Park Geon-su, Director of the Land Information Policy Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "Through the Spatial Information Safe Zone, the previously requested disclosure and utilization of high-precision spatial information by the industry has become possible," adding, "We will continue to communicate with the industry to expand the Spatial Information Safe Zone."
