In the Big Data Campus, product units are divided into middle categories (129 types) and data of units below administrative districts are provided.
□ It is expected that the private sector will be able to create additional services using the 「Seoul Life Logistics」 data, such as location selection for small logistics centers and location selection for offline stores based on online demand, using the data that will be opened.
□ In addition, the Seoul Metropolitan Government expects that the 「Seoul Living Logistics」 data will be used to establish policies for future Seoul, such as reduction of parcel packaging waste and research on optimizing transportation means according to the volume of logistics.
