Yangju City Accelerates "Digital Transformation" Through National and Provincial Drone Demonstration Projects

Kim Jiwoon, an officer from the Drone Policy Team of the Business Support Division in Yangju City, Gyeonggi Province, delivered a special lecture titled "Smart Administration and Digital Innovation Realized Through Drones" at the Gyeonggi Province Dongducheon-Yangju Office of Education on November 20.

This special lecture was organized as part of the "2025 Post-Training for Practical Production of Digital Education Innovation Content Linked to the Local Community," hosted by the Dongducheon-Yangju Office of Education. Around 20 staff members from the Office of Education attended the session, demonstrating strong interest in the future of education and administrative innovation.

As the lecturer, Kim Jiwoon is recognized as one of Korea's leading experts in drone-based 3D modeling. He is a fixed-term public official recruited by Yangju City to help the city emerge as a leader in the drone industry. He has been recognized for his outstanding skills, having received the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Award (Grand Prize at the 2024 Public Sector Drone Piloting Competition) and the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award (Grand Prize at the 2024 Urban Area Innovation Industry Expo).

During the lecture, he provided an in-depth discussion on topics such as the process of establishing a drone-based administrative support system and case studies of civil complaint processing innovation using virtual model artificial intelligence (AI) analysis. He emphasized that drones are a core technology driving innovation in administration and education, far beyond their role as simple filming tools.

Based on the expertise of such drone professionals, Yangju City has achieved the distinction of winning three national and provincial public contest projects this year (Drone Demonstration City Construction Project, Smart City, and Drone Industry Development Support Project), establishing itself as a hub for the drone industry in northern Gyeonggi Province.

In particular, through the "2025 Gyeonggi Province Drone Industry Development Support Project," Yangju City is actively building a smart administrative system based on virtual models (digital twins), integrating precise 3D modeling data into various administrative fields such as urban planning, disaster safety management, and facility inspections.

An official from Yangju City stated, "This special lecture was a meaningful opportunity to share smart administration and digital innovation realized through drones with the education sector," and added, "We will continue to successfully promote the drone demonstration city and digital transformation projects to make Yangju a smart administrative innovation city that citizens can truly experience."
