The 3rd Seoul Institute Policy Forum held under the theme of ‘The Space Age, Seoul’s New Challenge’
In an era emphasizing the rapid increase and utilization of satellites, it’s time for Seoul to prepare for using satellite imagery.
Integrating satellite imagery and various data to enhance the efficiency and objectivity of urban issue monitoring.
It’s necessary to foster the satellite utilization industry as a future growth engine for Seoul, a city concentrated with education and businesses.
The Seoul Institute (President Oh-gyun) will host the ‘2024 Seoul Institute Policy Forum’ on Wednesday, May 29th, at 3 PM in the Seoul Institute’s main conference room under the theme of ‘The Space Age, Seoul’s New Challenge’.
This policy forum is the third forum held this year to disseminate the Seoul Institute’s own research findings. It will begin with △an opening address by Seoul Institute President Oh-gyun, followed by △a presentation on ‘Seeing Seoul from Space: Ways to Utilize Satellite Imagery in Seoul’ by Shin Jeong-il, Deputy Research Fellow at the Digital City Research Division of the Seoul Institute, △a designated discussion, and △a Q&A and general discussion session.
Deputy Research Fellow Shin Jeong-il, who is responsible for the presentation, will deliver a presentation on ‘Ways to Utilize Satellite Imagery in Seoul’ in light of the establishment of the Korea Aerospace Agency and the New Space era.
Having started developing artificial satellites and launch vehicles in the 1980s, South Korea has now risen to the ranks of advanced spacefaring nations and has established the Korea Aerospace Agency in the New Space era, which is driven by the private sector. The launch of the first of 11 nanosatellites was successfully completed on April 11th, and a number of local governments, including Jinju, Busan, Daejeon, and Incheon, are also developing their own satellites.
Deputy Research Fellow Shin noted that, until now, local governments have faced limitations in utilizing satellite imagery due to the long imaging cycle of satellites and the high level of expertise required. However, as the importance of satellite utilization is being emphasized with the increasing number of public and private satellites, he proposed that Seoul should actively utilize satellite imagery in its operations.
Along with this, he proposed the ‘establishment of an ecosystem for utilizing satellite imagery in Seoul’ based on the results of pilot analyses of satellite imagery related to ground subsidence, green space changes, and building changes, by integrating satellite imagery with various sensor, measurement, and administrative data in Seoul to enhance the efficiency and objectivity of monitoring various urban issues.
Deputy Research Fellow Shin emphasizes that by establishing this ecosystem, Seoul can improve the real-time capabilities of its digital twin (S-Map) and provide customized data that non-experts can easily utilize for city administration, contributing to the realization of a digitally advanced city. He also proposed the need to foster the satellite utilization industry as a future growth engine for Seoul and to collaborate to lead local governments in utilizing satellites.
The designated discussion session will include △Choi Jun-yeong, Head of the Future Space Research Division at the Seoul Institute (moderator), △Kim Tae-jeong, Professor at Inha University and President of the Korean Society for Remote Sensing, △Wi Gwang-jae, CEO of GeoStory, △Yu Byeong-min, Head of the Spatial Survey Team at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, and △Lee Ho-hyeong, Head of the National Land Satellite Center at the National Geographic Information Institute, among other experts from various fields.
President Oh-gyun of the Seoul Institute stated, “This forum will serve as a crucial opportunity to further accelerate Seoul’s digital innovation. We will continue to strive to become a truly innovative, integrated research institute by enhancing our future prediction capabilities and developing policy services through the utilization of AI, satellite imagery, and other technologies.”
