Yeosu plans to introduce a state-of-the-art video Geographic Information System (GIS). This system is projected to allow citizens to watch from their homes the local area and the progress of the site of 2012 International Exposition which is three years away.

According to Yeosu City and the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, the 1.39 billion won expense for the three-dimensional GIS-based project will be supported from the Korean government.

The 3D information system is expected to seamlessly display urban area in cyber space by demonstrating the video of urban space. Also, the high-precision aerial pictures of all the area of Yeosu (502㎢) will be shown three-dimensionally by utilizing advanced LiDAR digital imaging system.

The adoption of the system will contribute to introducing 3D urban planning and management, thereby enhancing the efficiency in urban administration and laying the foundation for 'Ubiquitous Technology Yeosu.

On top of this, the concept of ubiquitous services can be applied in various areas such as construction work, environmental impact analysis, facility management, land management, green areas, building management, rural planning, and cultural property-related business.

This advanced system is also projected to show the progress of large-scale projects such as the creation of Admiral Lee Soon-shin Square and the future scenes of the surrounding areas of the expo site.
