Goyang Special City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Lee Dong-hwan) and the Goyang Industry Promotion Agency (Director Han Dong-gyun) have finally selected two small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to solve local issues discovered by citizens, and will officially launch the Goyang Smart City Living Lab project starting in November.

The "Goyang Smart City Living Lab Project" is a project that implements smart city services by directly identifying urban problems through citizen participation and solving them by applying advanced information and communication technology (ICT) from SMEs.

Since May, two citizen solution teams (Smart Samsong Making, Goyang Guardians) have identified issues such as △ citizen safety problems due to flooding of rivers in Goyang City △ inconvenience in applying for the use of public sports facilities by the senior population.

The Promotion Agency announced a selection for SMEs to solve the local problems discovered by citizens and selected Green IT Korea Co., Ltd. and Sangsangryeok Jipdan Co., Ltd. as demonstration companies.

Green IT Korea Co., Ltd. plans to enhance citizen safety by installing a service near Hanumulcheon Stream that uses artificial intelligence (AI) CCTV to measure water levels in real time and automatically block river access when the water level rises.

Sangsangryeok Jipdan Co., Ltd. will apply a smart consultation service using generative AI technology to the Goyang City public sports facilities website operated by the Goyang Urban Management Corporation, providing 24-hour consultation and improving usability for the senior population.

Director Han Dong-gyun of the Promotion Agency stated, "I hope the living lab project, which demonstrates and solves problems discovered by citizens through companies' advanced ICT technology, will be successfully promoted by providing tangible services to citizens and demonstration opportunities to companies."

Meanwhile, since May this year, the Promotion Agency has been promoting ▲ accident prevention service demonstration through detection of wandering elderly (ITS Bank Co., Ltd.) ▲ advanced smart bench service demonstration at Gajwa Park (Hanchuk Tech Co., Ltd.), and plans to complete a total of four smart city services within this year including the newly launched project.
