Gimhae has launched the creation of a "Smart Campus Town” for 3-way (residents, youth, and universities) communication and coexistence

Gimhae city has launched the "Smart City Regeneration Project of Sambang District."

The "Sambang District Smart City Regeneration Project" was finally selected for the Smart City-type Urban Regeneration New Deal Project by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in August 2018.

Gimhae city plans to invest 5 billion won in project costs by September this year under the vision of "creating an Eoullim Campus Town for 3-way(residents, young people, universities) communication and coexistence. Based on the smart city regeneration platform, ICT-based citizenship-type services such as △ automatic cardiac shock device location notification service, △ healthcare service for the elderly living alone, and △ safe go home service will be established. After purchasing the old building at 159-5 Sambang-dong and plans to remodel it to create a smart town (Smart dod-um Lab) for local residents and students.

The "Dod-um(돋움)" lab building, which means "to raise it up" by taking advantage of its creative spirit of challenge and mentor and mentee roles, consists of a smart open lab, a smart studio, a smart study room, and a rooftop garden, and is directly connected to Inje University through Eoullim Bridge (overpass).

In particular, smart study rooms will be subdivided into non-subjects and curriculums, and Inje University students continue to support mentoring services.

Gimhae city signed a business agreement with Inje University last year to implement a sustainable operation and successful smart city regeneration innovation model.

The main projects of the "Sambang District Smart City Regeneration Creation Project" announced by Gimhae city are as follows.

◆ In order to stably operate smart city services and expand big data collection infrastructure, wired and wireless self-information and communication networks (11.6km) will be established to provide public Wi-Fi services, and collected data will be used to establish policies through floating population analysis.

◆ The government will provide location notification services by installing IoT-based automatic heart shock devices (15 locations) as a major citizen-sensing service, and monitor life responses through power consumption and access detection sensors of the elderly living alone (150 households) to use them to prevent loneliness in vulnerable groups.

In addition, the city will establish a safe bell (19 locations) and CCTV (9 locations) and establish a smart shadow (4 locations) to improve the night walking environment to support safe return services for the socially disadvantaged such as women and children.

◆ On the first basement floor of Smart Town (Smart Dod-um Lab), a local community space, there is a smart open lab that enables IoT sensor-based product testing and a smart studio for producing and editing educational content. On the first and second floors above the ground, there are spaces (non-curricular courses) where you can experience smart devices such as AI robots and coding kits, and smart study rooms, which are learning support and progress guidance spaces (curricular courses). It plans to install a hot bench and a smart pagoda that can be wirelessly charged as a shelter space in the rooftop garden on the third floor.

◆ The city also decided to build a system for efficient operation management and user convenience of the entire service (internal platform and web/app service for citizens).

“We hope that the Sambang Smart City Regeneration Project will be a good example of the Smart City Regeneration New Deal project that will co-exist and communicate with local residents in connection with the university,” said an official from Gimhae city. “We hope that citizens will be interested and actively cooperating with the participation of Living Lab.”
