○ The smart city creation project to improve the quality of life of Jeonju citizens is progressing steadily.
○ Jeonju City announced on the 11th that it is focusing on realizing Jeonju-type smart city by building a digital twin platform and creating a foundation for the immersive content industry.
○ First, under the vision of 'Smart Jeonju, the center of happiness for citizens, towards people', the city established the Jeonju City Smart City Plan with 4 unit projects under the vision of △Data-centered 'Smart Economic City' △Citizen safety-first 'People-centered Safe City' △'Smart Green City' converging with nature with cutting-edge ICT technology △Citizens and guests comfortable and 'pleasant cultural city'.
○ Currently, the city is carrying out smart city projects centered on △ establishment of digital twin platform △ establishment of immersive contents industry in connection with urban regeneration △ expansion of digital economy foundation.
○ In the case of the digital twin platform establishment project that the city and LX are promoting for the entire area of Jeonju, the project is being promoted with the goal of starting in May next year. Once the digital twin platform is established, it can support administrative tasks such as building permits, road excavation, and industrial complex pollution monitoring, and can be actively used as a tool for decision-making and urban problem simulation in the urban planning field.
○ The city is also working hard to lay the foundation for the immersive contents industry in connection with the urban regeneration project. The XR studio was completed this year to foster the immersive content industry on the first meeting point near the station, and from next year, the VR/AR center will be expanded to the XR support center to start business support and human resource training in earnest.
○ In addition, in the urban regeneration project area of Deokjin area, which is being prepared as a MOLIT contest, XR/Metaverse company cluster facilities and XR technology exhibition/experience infrastructure will be created to discover various immersive content services.
○ At the same time, the city is also focusing on expanding the foundation for the digital economy. Last June, the city that was selected for the contest for a digital commerce agency to help small businesses digitally transform will support small business owners to strengthen their digital commerce capabilities, while in February next year, they will also introduce a Jeonju-type public delivery app to help small business owners expand their online sales channels.
○ In the future, the city plans to actively respond to MOLIT competition tasks such as the regional base smart city creation project and the smart city challenge project in 2022 in order to advance into a smart city that promotes the development of the local ICT industry.
○ In this regard, the city will hold the '6 Jeonju Smart City & Digital Twin Conference' to lead the virtual city in the metaverse era at the Lahan Hotel on the 2021th of next month. At this event, various discussions will be held under the theme of 'Digital Twin-X, the future of 150D virtual city' with 3 people from public, private, and academia in attendance, and smart city government policies and new technology trends will be shared.
