To facilitate the visitors visiting Seoul Citizens Hall located in the new building of the Seoul City Hall and spread over an area of over 7,600-square metre, consisting of more than 20 rooms and galleries, a new 3-D Mapping App has been designed and launched for citizen engagement activities and programmes. The new app has been rolled out after monitoring that some of the visitors face difficulty in locating the desired location inside the colossal venue.
Users can easily navigate inside the venue with the help of 3D mapping technologies and photographs of the hall using their mobile phones. This initiative has been further extended to other crucial sites which include 56 public buildings, two underground shopping centers along with 105 subway stations in the city.
The Government intends to release all these maps publicly to ensure that businesses and citizens can leverage this handy geo-data. According to the authorities, the new initiative and location based data will augment the response and emergency resilience as information of emergency exits and escape routes will now be easily accessible for the general public.
