The government is easing relevant regulations to make it easier for companies to use spatial data for the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous driving services.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that it will pre-announce the partial amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the National Spatial Data Act until July 27 to rationally improve spatial data security regulations.
This amendment is a follow-up measure to the revision of the National Spatial Data Act and was pursued to support the establishment of AI-based urban operating systems and the revitalization of the spatial information industry.
The amendment establishes security processing procedures and methods for spatial data produced by the private sector to ensure that national security facilities are not displayed in the data.
As a result, the distribution and utilization of private spatial data are expected to expand.
Regulations requiring that restricted spatial data be reviewed by each management agency every time it is needed will also be eased.
If the same spatial data is requested within one year after a security review, only the changed parts will be subject to review, thereby increasing the convenience of data utilization.
The amendment also establishes development standards for the "Digital Twin Land"—a technology that implements the national territory in a 3D virtual space—and grounds for building public platforms, allowing more management agencies to utilize them.
For the national land satellite, which recently launched its second unit, the amendment clearly defines the organization and roles for its operation to strengthen the foundation for its utilization.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will hold a public hearing at the National Geographic Information Institute at 2:00 PM on June 23 to collect opinions on the amendment.
The full text of the amendment can be found on the Ministry's website, and opinions can be submitted via mail or through the website.
