Yongin City Awarded Best Institution for Public Works Openness

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 5th that it was selected as the best institution in the '2023 Public Works Open Excellence Awards' hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Culture Information Service on the 3rd.

The public works free use policy is a system in which works owned by intellectual property rights held by the state, local governments, or public institutions are disclosed according to the type of Public Nuri. Public works marked with the 'Public Nuri type' label can be freely used by anyone without the consent of the copyright holder.

The city explained that it received high evaluations for opening public works such as press releases, photographs, notices from the Agricultural Technology Center, and an original image database (DB) of traditional cultural patterns converted from cultural heritage to the private sector.

The number of public works opened by the city increased about 44.3 times from 229 cases last year to 10,145 cases this year. This year, the city marked the Public Nuri type label on 9,300 press releases, 700 photos, and educational guides and announcements from the Agricultural Technology Center, and deployed three university students for administrative experience training to carry out connection work so that they can also be used on the Public Nuri site.

In addition, 58 original image DBs of traditional patterns, photographed and built from cultural heritage excavated in the region, were additionally opened.

A city official said, "We will systematically manage Yongin City's public works so that anyone can easily use them to create new content or obtain necessary information in the future."
