Promotion of 'Smart Village Development' in Guro 4-dong Area, Guro-gu

38 Streetlights, CCTVs, Integrated Safety, and Smart Alimipol Installed

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) is promoting the ‘Smart Village Development Project’ targeting the Guro 4-dong area.

The ‘Guro Smart Village’ is a project that installs smart poles (intelligent pillars) combined with information and communication technology to improve local issues such as crime and traffic accident prevention. A total of 38 ‘Guro-type Smart Poles’ of four specialized types unique to Guro-gu will be installed.

In February, the district applied for the ‘2024 Smart Village Distribution and Expansion Project’ contest hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, submitting the ‘Smart Village Development Project’ for Guro 4-dong. After being selected in the August contest, it secured 1.05 billion KRW in national funding. Including 450 million KRW from the district budget, a total of 1.5 billion KRW will be used to build the smart village.

In the project area of Guro 4-dong, the Guro-type smart poles will be categorized by purpose and type and installed as ▲Streetlight Smart Poles ▲Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Smart Poles ▲Integrated Safety Smart Poles ▲Smart Notification Poles.

The ‘Streetlight Smart Poles’ will be installed at 13 locations on major intersections and busy main roads. These poles integrate intelligent CCTV, Wi-Fi, and Internet of Things (IoT) network functions combined with information and communication technology to improve urban scenery and enhance resident convenience.

The ‘CCTV Smart Poles’ are equipped with various functions for crime prevention and response, including intelligent CCTV, IoT LED security lights, illegal dumping monitoring cameras, emergency bells, and notification lighting (logoprojectors). Sixteen of these will be installed in residential areas, side streets, and alleys to strengthen the public safety network in crime-vulnerable areas.

The ‘Integrated Safety Smart Poles,’ which inform drivers of real-time vehicle speeds to encourage compliance with traffic laws, and the ‘Smart Notification Poles,’ which provide location information of drivers and pedestrians via LED display boards in traffic blind spots, will be installed in traffic safety vulnerable areas such as school zones, alleys, and steep slopes, with 3 and 6 units installed respectively.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We will create a smart safe village in the Guro 4-dong area to provide residents with a secure living environment,” and added, “We will continue to strive to make Guro a safe place for residents.”
