Promotion of Spatial Information Database Construction Project
for Administrative Ri and Tong Units
Gyeonggi-do Icheon-si is set to undertake systematic boundary setting for natural villages that have caused confusion due to ambiguous borders.
On the 8th, Icheon-si announced that it will actively promote the construction project of a spatial information database (DB) for basic administrative units such as administrative ri and tong to enhance administrative efficiency and improve residents' convenience.
In the case of administrative ri and tong, unclear boundaries have caused confusion in various administrative tasks such as moving-in registration, electoral district setting, and development project promotion. Through this project, the city expects to enable systematic boundary setting for the natural village boundaries of 428 administrative ri and tong across 14 eup, myeon, and dong.
The city particularly expects to save about 100 million won in budget by promoting this project through an in-house DB construction method instead of outsourcing it externally.
To this end, the city plans to hold project briefing sessions for all eup, myeon, and dong by the end of this month to guide the project schedule, boundary setting methods, and resident opinion collection procedures.
A city official stated, "The DB constructed through this project can be used as basic data for various policy formulations and spatial information-based administration."
