The 3rd 'Seoul Institute Policy Forum' was held under the theme of 'The Age of Aerospace, a New Challenge for Seoul'
In an era where the rapid increase and utilization of satellites are emphasized, it's time for Seoul to prepare for the use of satellite imagery.
By integrating satellite imagery with various data, it enhances the efficiency and objectivity of monitoring urban issues.
It is necessary to cultivate the satellite utilization industry as a future growth engine for Seoul, where education and businesses are concentrated.
The Seoul Institute (President Oh Gyun) held the '2024 Seoul Institute Policy Forum' on May 29th (Wednesday) at 3 pm in the Seoul Institute's main conference room, under the theme of 'The Age of Aerospace, a New Challenge for Seoul.'
This policy forum is the third forum this year for disseminating the Seoul Institute's own research achievements. It began with an opening address by Oh Gyun, President of the Seoul Institute, followed by a presentation titled 'Seeing Seoul from Space: Ways to Utilize Satellite Imagery in Seoul' by Shin Jeong-il, Deputy Research Fellow at the Digital City Research Lab of the Seoul Institute. The forum proceeded with a designated discussion, Q&A, and comprehensive discussion.
Shin Jeong-il, who is responsible for the presentation, will present 'Ways to Utilize Satellite Imagery in Seoul' in light of the establishment of the Korea Aerospace Administration and the New Space era.
Korea began developing artificial satellites and space launch vehicles in the 1980s, and now stands among the ranks of advanced spacefaring nations. With the advent of the New Space era centered around private entities, the Korea Aerospace Administration has been established. In April, the launch of the first satellite among 11 micro-satellite clusters was successful, and numerous local governments, including Jinju, Busan, Daejeon, and Incheon, are developing their own satellites.
Shin, the Deputy Research Fellow, suggested that while the long shooting cycle of satellites and the demand for high expertise have limited the use of satellite imagery by local governments until now, the increasing importance of satellite utilization due to the growing number of public and private satellites warrants active adoption of satellite imagery in Seoul's operations.
Based on the pilot analysis of satellite imagery for ground subsidence, green space changes, and building changes, he proposed establishing a 'Seoul Satellite Imagery Utilization Ecosystem' by integrating satellite imagery with various sensor, measurement, and administrative data in Seoul, thereby enhancing the efficiency and objectivity of monitoring various urban issues.
Shin emphasizes that by establishing such an ecosystem, the real-time nature of Seoul's digital twin (S-Map) can be improved, and customized data can be provided that even non-experts can easily utilize for city management, contributing to the realization of a digital leading city. He also suggested the need to nurture the satellite utilization industry as a future growth engine for Seoul and to collaborate to lead local governments in utilizing satellites.
In the designated discussion session, experts from various fields will participate, including Choi Jun-young, Head of the Future Space Research Division at the Seoul Institute (Chair), Kim Tae-jeong, Professor at Inha University and President of the Korean Society of Remote Sensing, Wi Kwang-jae, CEO of GeoStory, Yoo Byung-min, Head of the Space Measurement Team at Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Lee Ho-hyung, Head of the National Land Satellite Center at the National Geographic Information Institute.
"This forum will serve as a crucial catalyst for accelerating Seoul's digital innovation," said Oh Gyun, President of the Seoul Institute. "Going forward, we will strive to develop into a true integrated innovation research institution by enhancing our future prediction capabilities using AI, satellite imagery, and other technologies, and developing policy services."
