The city plans to analyze population characteristics by utilizing related data such as the daytime population between regional economies, population movement, and income disparity.

In particular, through analysis of ▲inbound and outbound migration over the past three years, ▲economic characteristics of single-person households, ▲metropolitan-level economically active population statistics, and ▲daytime population living in the city both from inside and outside the jurisdiction, the city intends to prepare population decline prevention measures based on scientific administration.

Along with this, by building income-based data on inbound and outbound populations between regions such as Suncheon and Gwangyang, it is expected to identify the “causes of interregional population movement” and the “impact of economic factors on population migration.”

Additionally, by utilizing population information data for population trend forecasting, daytime population analysis, and franchise location analysis, the city anticipates encouraging companies to enter Yeosu through the opening of public data and expects an effect of population inflow.

A city official stated, “With the selection in this public contest, we have created an opportunity to discover practical population policies needed for our region and to realize these policies,” adding, “We will do our best to improve the quality of life for local residents by utilizing the various accumulated data in the future.”
