Urban Thinkers Campus in figures:
Executive summary:
Building on 20 years of collective experiences from supporting 80 municipal
governments worldwide, UN-Habitat has entered into the second phase of its
Safer Cities Programme, entitled "Safer Cities 2.0" focusing on smart technology.
This phase leverages on global and local partnerships as well as on innovations
based on promising practices to respond to the implementation of Sustainable
Development Goal 11 and the New Urban Agenda based on smart technology.
The Theme of this Urban Thinkers Campus (UTC) was 'How Smart Technology
Makes Cities Safer', and the event held within the framework of the Korean Smart
Geospatial Expo 2017. This UTC served as an open space for critical opinion
exchange between UN-habitat and different Korean participants to find the role
of smart technology in urban safety.
It is envisaged that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transportation
(MOLIT), Korea Land & Housing Corporation and strategic partners will forward
the following;
1. Find a way to promote active involvement of all partners in the review,
consolidation, strengthening and implementation of crime and Violence
Prevention strategies, policy and practice based on Smart Technology;
2. Enhance capacity of the leadership of national and local government and
strategic partners to use technologies to make cities safer, for example with GIS,
the internet, collecting, analyzing and sharing data to prevent crime and make
cities sustainable; and
3. Continuous ongoing effort to monitor safety status in urban collaborating with
UN-based organizations, grassroots organizations, and other cities implementing
City Lab on Safer Cities globally.
Introduction to the Campus:
Since 2000, the Republic of Korea government has been pushing U-City vision
as the world's best information and communication infrastructure, which the
Republic of Korea has expanded nationwide.
The government intends to actively utilize the information and communication
infrastructure to solve urban problems such as traffic and urban crime. At the
same time fostering the construction industry and the ICT industry both as a new
future growth engine that will enable the economy through domestic and overseas
market creation and as a social inclusion solution to solving critical problems in
the cities.
ICT technology and construction technology have reached world-class level in
the Republic of Korea. Based on this confidence, U-City, which integrates
information and communication technology (ICT) with other urban construction
technologies, has become a national project in cities. This U-City concept is
connected with a more advanced ICT technology named “Smart-City in Korea”.
UN-Habitat Safer Cities Programme has entered its second phase, "Safe City 2.0"
which focuses on implementing smart technology in 80 cities over 20 years. This
phase utilizes global and regional partnerships as well as innovation based on
promising practices to address Sustainable Development Goal 11 and the
implementation of the New Urban Agenda. This UTC in Seoul, Republic of
Korea was based on the theme: How Smart Technology Makes Cities Safer. It
provided an opportunity to discuss how smart technology can contribute to solve
urban issues especially urban safety with various actor's speeches and discussion.
In addition, this UTC became an arena to refine what to do next.
Summary of all session:
=========================================================

Opening Plenary I:
Welcome & Agenda Setting and Vision of Korean Citizen-Centered Smart
Technology
Seong-Hai Lee : Director general, Spatial Information Policy Bureau, MOLIT
MOLIT(Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation), Republic of Korea,
and UN-Habitat signed a MOU in 2016 at Habitat III Conference and have a
familiar relationship Republic of Korea is dominant in the field of information
and communication, and is making efforts to implement Korea’s concept of a
smart city through GIS and other IT technology.
To start off, case studies from Seoul, Pyeongtaek, Busan, Anyang and private
sector organizations were presented and discussed with a lens toward safety.
These case studies, centered around big data convergence analysis and expert
discussions, were meant to share new knowledge and consider the various social
factors involved in building a safe city. We hope that it will be an important
milestone for the Smart City Program to develop and spread globally.
MOLIT is building a spatial data platform as a location-based big data analysis
system. The Geospatial Big Data Platform is designed to support reasonable
policy-making process such as housing, urban planning, transportation, safety and
health through spatial information analysis.
We know that it has already been successfully introduced to construct a pedestrian
safety map in order to build a city that is safe against crime. In this regard, we
hope that the examples of Korea's smart safe cities and the implementation of the
Geospatial Big Data Platform will be shared globally to achieve the Sustainable
Development Goals and fulfill the New Urban Agenda.
This UTC is a meaningful event to that creates space to exchange opinions from
many participants who are working in urban planning and housing government
departments around the world, such as Bangladesh Cambodia, Ethiopia,
Myanmar, Laos, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. We hope that the UTC will allow us to
improve people's safety with the smart technology of Republic of Korea.

Opening Plenary II
Overview of Republic of Korea National & Local Government ICT Strategies to
Implement SDGs and NUA
Dongchun Ryu: Director, Spatial Information Office, LH
This UTC: How Smart Technology Makes Cities Safer, session seems to be
the end of the schedule for three days. I am the Director of the Spatial Information
Office, Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH). For LH, as an implementing
organization of MOLIT's Housing and Smart Technology policy, this UTC is a
very meaningful experience to carry out national strategic big data, spatial
information and smart city efficiently. I would also like to express my gratitude
to Professor Bongmoon Choi, who has been the moderator of this event and Juma
Assiago, coordinator of UN-Habitat Safer Cities Programme.
LH is majorly taking charge of Korean cities' development, construction of new
towns, and industrial complex building projects. Safety and tackling crime and
violence, is one of the biggest issues in our urban development projects. Among
the problem solving techniques in physical city space, Korea has applied both
crime prevention environmental design in terms of CPTED and Smart City
technology using intelligent CCTV and fence. Although city safety is a
fundamental element in maintaining urban sustainability and understanding the
quality of life of citizens, it is somewhat inferior in the developing process in
Republic of Korea. Especially, the problem of safety related to relatively
vulnerable classes such as women, disabled people, and teenagers, which recently
have become a big issue in Korean society and careful consideration have
previously been overlooked in the process of designing and developing the city.
In this regard, this UTC seminar is part of a series of attempts to introduce an
inclusive view of the use of ICT and the establishment of a smart city on the safety
issues with various stakeholders. UN-Habitat Safer City programme recognizes
that local governments strengthen their ability to prevent and reduce crime and
violence at the city level in the planning, management and implementation level,
appropriate to the cities. By integrating the philosophy and experience of the UN-
Habitat Safer Cities Programme into a smart city, it will enable effective urban
planning and management, which will make the city safer. When citizens' safety
is secured, citizens in the city will communicate with each other based on mutual
trust. Through this virtuous cycle, a safe city will be able to improve the quality
of life of citizens and promote economic development. We hope that through a
case study presentation and expert discussion, this seminar will lead to
meaningful results on the question of how smart technology can make cities safer.
Finally, the shared vision of Smart and Safer city between UN-Habitat and LH
will process more fruitful output in the future.

Urban Thinkers sessions
UN-Habitat Safer Cities Approach
Juma Assiago: UN-Habitat
The Urban Thinkers Campus in Seoul, Republic of Korea, is a great moment of
engagement for UN-Habitat. By looking at the individual capacity and rights of
each one of you seated here today, we have identified important human resources
which will contribute to the future of our cities and the future of sustainable
development, through goals and targets determined by governments to be reached
by the year 2030. So, our vision with the year 2030, is a vision that we all will be
able to achieve in our lifetimes. UN-Habitat is the agency of United Nations
entrusted by member states, including Republic of Korea, to help guide
development in as far as cities, towns and villages are concerned. It is important
for me to state this, because in the way we are defining the development agenda,
the spectrum of cities becomes the real driver of development. Development at
the level of those basic services we all are involved in, such as health or education,
impact the quality of life.
The biggest reality of what we now define as sustainable development is that we
should leave no one individual behind. It is important to emphasize that the
development trajectory of the 20th century urban model is assumed to take
distance to poor development outcomes. Many countries have been left behind in
accessing the benefits of urban life, which is what we now are setting forth within
the next 15 years to reverse those trends and to be able to create cities as spaces
truly of economic growth and prosperity.
The concept of safety is often associated with policing authorities only. In the
situation when we are faced and confronted with issues of crime and violence,
many of us will immediately project our minds to the institution of the police.
However, this issue has now been proven to not be an issue just for the police,
but is in reality an issue that lies at the center of development. When we begin to
address the causes of crime and violence, we find the solutions right within the
development sphere. In addition, it is now more important than ever to not just
combat the symptoms, but to use our resources to invest in the causes of crime
and violence. Local governments worldwide today have had significant
experience in addressing the issues of crime and violence through innovative
police.
This space is made up of stakeholders and actors to complement the police
services to have a worldwide sharing of promising practices of what we can do
differently to prevent crime and violence through better urban planning, better
urban management, and better urban governance. What I am actually putting forth
to you today, is a way of thinking about how we look at crime from our
perspective by turning challenges into opportunities, which is really what we are
focusing on in a safety discourse, how to make cities livable spaces. Essentially,
this also means that we are not just interested in the incidences of crime but also
in the perception of crime and violence, which will help us to understand that
when we define safety, we are not just looking at the police records of homicide.
We are looking at petty crimes that are considered to be happening within the
sphere of the school, like bullying. We are considering such crimes as serious and
that they can be addressed at the very early stages through better planning, better
management and better governing strategies.
By considering the perceptions of crime and violence, we are also able to look at
crime and violence through a gender perspective, and understand that some of the
crimes that are happening particularly to women and girls, that actually can be
seen as normal within a city. A city’s transport system is equally as serious, and
the solutions should not be about the segregation of a certain gender, a tactic that
many urban development interventions are using. For example in India, where the
solution has been to have women-only bus transport system in the face of
increasing rape and sexual violence. The solutions do not lie in segregating the
population, but in looking at crime and violence in a holistic way in a different
construct, by looking at the city as a whole and looking at the way we build cities
in a more compact, mixed use connected way that benefit all citizens across
gender, age and in the diversity of culture of cities. This is the vision upon which
UN-Habitat Safer Cities Programme is founded.
The other element I want to raise to you today is the context of the way we look
at safety today. We look at safety in a discourse of urbanization. If you want to
understand urbanization at your level, it is largely defined by population
demographics. The way we saw our world and the policies that defined in the
world 20 years ago were largely informed by a perspective of economies that
were more driven by the agrarian systems, with a focus on rural development.
Given the fact that the majority of the populations are living in rural areas, most
national governments have defined their development trajectories with this spin
of sectarian approaches to development. But recently, particularly since 2007, the
world witnessed the first major paradigm shift in which the majority of people
living in the world today are urban as opposed to rural. This has had a significant
impact on the way of thinking about, and approaches we use, to address
development, one of which is the technological revolution. It is important to
understand that this dynamic change has also changed the way we as human
beings are organized around our neighborhoods, around our schools around our
families.
The way we understand family today is not just a nuclear family, many young
people today are growing up peer group families or in single headed families, all
of which are phenomenon of the urban dimension. What you see as a
neighborhood is potentially very different from how the person sitting next to you
sees it. The meaning and understanding of neighborhood just by virtue of our
socialization experiences, how we grew up to understand neighborhood and
community is different based on the configurations of our individual urban
realities. Some lived in rich exclusive neighborhoods, others lived in poor,
congested neighborhoods, all of which contributes to our socialization, thinking
and understanding of ‘neighborhood’ as a concept. It is important to acknowledge
that no one was born criminal. It is the socialization process within the slum
configuration or within the city that locks itself from financial flows, we all grew
up with motivations to development trajectories based on out individual urban
typology.
I would like to then go further to say that the concept of government has also been
redefined significantly over the last 20-30 years. Cities in the 1976 of Habitat I
Summit in Vancouver approached the city through the lens of the house with brick
and water as the focus of development. 20 years later, in 1996, the world shifted
its concept from government to governance. This meant that it acknowledged and
appreciated multiplicity of other actors who are involved in the co-production of
the city and in the co-production of the neighborhood, which includes women's
groups, NGOs, the private sector, universities and academia. A multiplicity of
actors were recognized as equal partners and hence, today you are seated here not
just as governments but also in a configuration with other stakeholders that are
not necessarily government authorities. This partnership approach to city building
was really the turning point of the urban development agenda. Then, we began to
integrate safety in the perspective of cities as issues of better urban governance,
the conception of safety from a perspective of the local governance. This means
that we need to begin to develop better communication systems that allow
participation to be at the center of the co-production of security.
This will help us begin to significantly move away from looking at safety as a
private good. The 20th century model created many of our cities, where today in
response to increasing insecurity, the best ways cities know how to respond is
describing the architecture of fear. Many of you are associated with cities that
have gated communities, and if you look at the amount of investment in
technology that have been put into that particular perspective that goes to creating
gated neighborhoods, it is much more than what you could use from a social
investment perspective, and even use technology to aid individuals in their
particular contribution in the co-production of neighborhoods. We have to reverse
this tide and begin to help citizens stand the cost benefit analysis of building gated
communities as opposed to investing in young people by using applications to
help them participate in shaping and reshaping streets, open spaces, and to
contribute to the shaping of creative neighborhoods and places. These are some
of the ways in which we are beginning to look at the approach of how urban
planning, urban management and urban governance can contribute to the
production of the cities that are for people, not for physical cities.
We want to move the away from cities of this typology. There is absolutely no
way we can begin to talk about the realization of safe cities if communities are
organized in such a segregated way. It is devastating to see that the moral fabric
of cities today has reached the point where we can actually build swimming pools,
and use this type of water services in the face of the squalor and gloom of people
who hardly can access basic services and live side by side. The safer cities concept
is trying, as one of the critical principles, to overcome such a divided city. We
need to begin to look at cities from the holistic unit of analysis of the city as a
whole and then be able to translate that into communities that work for all. The
UN-Habitat Safer Cities Program with the Habitat III NUA that came out in Quito
last year, is seeking to support cities in re-designing policy in this direction. It is
in the construction of cities as laboratories of knowledge, of learning, of
innovation and of solutions that we are looking at the enshrined principles of
participation, particularly of the universities and the private sector.
Universities are important in the establishment of a system across local
government administrations and to monitor the long-term implementation of the
change of the city from a safety perspective. Changing a city cannot happen
through short-term interventions, it requires long-term interventions and the role
of universities, as monitor of city safety policies, is critical. We need to embrace
technology in ways that we can create within those laboratories and urban safety
monitoring systems that allow universities to help build the contribution of
statistical data, and show us how policies are able to change the spectrum of
making our cities safer or not. The bottom pillar of the city laboratory approach
is prevention, which has been practiced in the last 20 years through social and
institutional prevention, and through urban design. This can give us the necessary
knowledge base to understand how cities have either succeeded or failed to
integrate themselves as social integration elements.
The safety approach has also mutated across not just crime and violence, but from
a multi-dimensional perspective with regard to natural disasters, and to tenure
security again. This is the real turning point for moving from challenges to
opportunities, to understand that in the face of crime, communities have coped
and adapted, and that public space is at the center of that coping and adaptation
approach. According to the Habitat III agenda, we are looking at sustainable cities
as those that are can be able to dedicate the availability of public space in their
cities to up to 50% of the city. What does this mean for safety? It means that we
are looking at how cities can reconstruct values of citizenship, using space as
sights of social interaction and exchange, as the landscape of economic vitality,
and as the fields of political and democratic expression. We need to focus on how
to generate public spaces from a people-centered perspective.
Bringing stakeholders, such as yourselves, together and being able to look at data
as the core to establish common vision of the city, which is then legislated in the
municipality in the form of a strategy, an action-plan with the public tax payers’
budget at the center. This in turn can lead us to the implementation of community
interventions fitting to our neighborhood, our streets and our open spaces. In this
way we can then have the universities begin to work on establishing monitoring
and evaluation capacities, which can fit into a city-to-city cooperation and thus
learn from the globe what works and what does not work. The opportunity to be
part of the Global Network on Safer Cities (GNSC) is what UN-Habitat offers the
cities in South Korea. We believe that you, the cities of South Korea, today could
see an example through the representatives of the Government of Colombia,
where the very rich practices in cities like Medellín can be of great benefit in the
construct of how we see safety and security. It is absolutely the moment where
we can see this reality through city-to-city cooperation.
I will then also mention that it is important that we begin to frame our approaches
with the perspective of how the citizen becomes the key actor of that change, and
technology is going to be the central defining point of this. For example, we have
already been able to adapt the safety audit tools into mobile technology. The
safety audit tool has variables like lighting, visibility, and the way we see the
presence of people on the streets. You as an individual citizen are empowered to
use that application, e.g. mobile apps, the tool can monitor and to be able to
identify the conditions and the characteristics of the space and place. This
information is then fed through the municipalities.
This is indeed a much more important technological innovation as opposed to just
a CCTV surveillance technology model, where the citizen does not really
participate, but is rather under surveillance. Here, we are switching to a bottom
up approach in which the citizen can now begin to contribute to the policy of the
city in defining what is safe of their cities. We hope that by the next World Urban
Forum, you will be able, as cities, to establish your laboratories and be able to
come together by way of dialogue and exhibitions, to engage with the other cities
in the world and there be able to think of how we can use technology to really
improve the livability of cities.

Urban Thinkers sessions
City Lab on Safer Cities
Regina Vathi: UN-Habitat
While some governments and inter-governmental agencies have invested in
effective strategies that prevent and reduce crime and violence in cities, including
sexual harassment and other forms of violence against women and children in
public spaces, much more needs to be done to support comprehensive evidence
based and human rights based approaches to generate transformative change in
the lives of women, youth, and children.
A Global Partnership Initiative on Safer Cities will support the implementation
of the New Urban Agenda by delivering a measurable improvement in security
for urban citizens globally. Building on a global network of local authorities, the
aim is to advance its systematic approach to improving urban safety and security.
This partnership will be implemented through the Global Partnership Initiative
through the Global Network on Safer Cities (GNSC). Launched in September
2012, the Global Network on Safer Cities (GNSC) represents the foremost
international forum for cities and urban stakeholders working to reduce violence
and insecurity. It provides an inclusive common platform linking existing urban
violence and crime prevention networks with a multitude of local authorities.
GNSC is stimulating exchange between policymakers and practitioners,
facilitating the standardization of principles on prevention at the local level,
institutionalizing knowledge, support application of proven and promising
approaches, spread a culture of prevention, and increasing coordination on
advocacy among cities and donors. It will also grow the visibility of the urban
safety and security agenda, through joint advocacy and communications
activities, and leverage collective policy and political weight to influence other
orders of government, especially at the national level.
We propose the creation of a network of city labs on safer cities, promoting safer
and more inclusive cities for all inhabitants, encouraging better quality of public
spaces free from crime and violence. This would happen through knowledge
exchange, innovation in strategies, tools and initiatives on crime prevention,
supporting the co-production of urban security policies during the
implementation of New Urban Agenda and the consecution of Sustainable
Development Goals. This approach is innovative because there are no
laboratories of similar characteristics and with the objective of collecting,
analyzing, studying and promoting policies for crime, violence and petty crime
prevention on a permanent basis and with the participation of academics,
technicians and politicians in a clear integrative vocation as a base concept.
Knowledge, strategies and new tools emerged from the multidisciplinary debate,
while working to achieve more just, sustainable, integrating and safer cities. The
City Lab aims to methodically collect data, good practices and successful
strategies. Our principle, as a solution, is to integrate cohesion and include all
urban groups and actors in the city dynamics.

Urban Lab Session
Seoul Smart Safer City Strategy based on Big Data
Jeongjoon Ahn: Director, Seoul Metropolitan Government
As a big data specialist at Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG), I prepared
today a presentation to explain two examples of how Seoul is applying Smart
Technology to safety policy. In 2015, Seoul Metropolitan Government
established a master plan from 2016 to 2020 named Digital City 2020. The first
part of the presentation will be sharing the vision of Digital City 2020 master plan
of SMG.
Seoul introduced CIO system in 2000, and there are five divisions to support it.
One of these divisions is the Statistics & Data Division.
According to one of the international statics, Seoul’s safety index placed 24 in
2015. In first place was Tokyo and 15 was Barcelona. However, Seoul was the
top city ranking in global IT index.
One of the major projects of SMG in ICT is Big Data Campus Project. It aims to
open data, integrate public data with private data, and cooperate with companies.
It provides an environment that can be analyzed in Sangam-dong and Geapo-dong
in Seoul. Currently, more than 90% of Big Data Campus users are students,
despite our initial expectations that the largest users would be citizens. The reason
why citizens did not use this good source very much is that it is only early stages
of starting Big Data Campus. Seoul has opened more than 4,600 kinds of data
sets, including one about safety.
Next, SMG's approach for citizens to improve their safety is based on ICT. One
of pillars in the 5 years ICT strategy of Seoul, Digital Seoul 2020, is Social Spatial
City Seoul. Social Spatial City Seoul includes social inclusion and social cohesion
in line with 'Leaving no one behind,' based on smart technology.
Generally, in the public sector, including SMG, IT technology level are
developing slower than in that of private sector. Private IT companies' technology
such as Google are rapidly developing, making IT gaps larger. It is sometimes
difficult to efficiently carry out internal projects with inside capacity, and when
we try to use external data, citizens and outside organizations doubt the role of
local government dealing with data. Modern society in the hi-tech era is not
enough to satisfy both internal (local government) and outside(private sector and
citizens). It is a time that requires a harmonious and cooperative relationship
between the public and private sector.
An example of citizen-centered ICT system that we developed is named Digital
Citizen-Mayer platform. This platform will help both internal policy making
process and citizens to understand their government policy and easily give
feedback to government. This platform began with the need to see import and
urgent matters at a glance. The characteristics of this system are;
1. Many government officers do not want to share data because they want to have
a power originated from Data. So, this platform helps them understand that
opening and sharing data is an efficient way to making policy.
2. Both internal and external users can get the important information related to
disaster, environment, waterworks and construction in real time.
3. This platform will provide visualized information to make it more easily
understandable.
4. This system displays information in real time and it is connected with 830
CCTVs, so that the problem can be easily judged in real time. For example, Road
and Traffic information, air pollution, ozone level are connected and provided in
real time.
5. It is currently open and will be available to citizens at the end of 2017. The
contents of the complaints are visualized as well.
Besides, SMG is carrying out 25 Big Data analysis tasks in various areas. In
addition, we have successful Big Data analysis case, which is a Night Bus Routes
Selection Process.

Urban Lab Session
Busan Smart Safer City Strategy
Junsoo Kim: CSO, Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency
Many people touring Korea tend to travel around Seoul, Busan is not visited as
regularly. Busan is the second largest city in Korea after Seoul and is the focus
city for today’s presenters.
Busan has a Five Years Smart City Strategic Plan like Seoul and the city
government conducted a survey of citizens. One of the major questions is “what
is the biggest problem our city has?”According to the result of the questionnaire,
the earthquake ranked first. In Gyeongju city located near Busan, there was a
recent earthquake of 4.2 magnitude. The second largest concern is an accident at
a nuclear energy plant and the climate change that followed. Safety issues were
not highly ranked in the questionnaire response. However, the urban safety pillar
is included in the Five Years Smart City Strategic Plan.
In Busan, there are 17,702 CCTV installed in 16 districts and of those
5,021CCTVs are installed for Crime Prevention 24-hours a day, 365 days per
year. Currently, intelligent information systems detect signs of crime in advance
and to create crime-detection, which can inform the organizations working
against crime in advance. Currently, Busan City is introducing a new system
called 'Global Smart Test Bad', which is testing 26 services for 3 years based on
Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
In addition, we are considering adapting smart streetlights (Smart LED Spotlight),
which are being reviewed in San Francisco or Barcelona. Existing streetlights
have only the function of lighting but the new smart streetlight has various sensors
such as a beacon, CCTV, Wi-Fi, energy management, safety, air pollution, and
noise management.
The test is currently underway, among which it is referred to as a "seat locate
management service", and most importantly, the lighting of the physical
environment will be brightened. However, it is possible to improve the role of
streetlights by providing additional services. For example, using beacons to safely
help citizens return home. Another example is that if a citizen is screaming when
he or she is in a critical situation, a noise sensor on the street light poll capable of
detecting a screaming sound, and if they hit or shake a streetlight, monitoring
system will detect emergency situation and look closely at the area.
In recent years, there has been a crime increase in the region. As population
decreased, there has been a hollowing out of urban areas where people do not live
in some parts of the city. Recently, in Busan, 17 regions have been named
“hazardous areas” through data analysis. Also Smart Street lights were installed
in this area.
Once you set your commute path through the online safety application, you will
be notified if you stray from it by the city monitoring center. This analysis
combines spatial information with crime information.

Urban Lab Session
Anyang Smart Safer City Strategy
Jeongho Yoon: Anyang City
Regarding crime, it is important not only how criminals are arrested when they
are crimes and how we disconnect them with other various criminal
organizations, but also how we can contribute to reduce crime. I would like to
share data with various stakeholders, focusing on cases.
Anyang City is the neighbouring city of Seoul, whose population is 600,000.
Similar to other cities' situation around the world, crime is a phenomenon that
occurs every day, with the only difference being in types and volumes. Anyang
City Hall operates the Smart City Center to guarantee the safety of Anyang
citizens. Even though, the Smart City Center is operated by Anyang City
Government, the employees and come from city government and polices.
There are 50 monitoring screens installed in this center, and CCTV has connected
over 5,000 units with this center. Like the other cities, Anyang monitoring center
operates 24 hours, 365 days a year. There are five major services that the center
provides.
I will explain an example video of arresting a criminal. Usually the system mainly
monitor traffic, and when a fire alarm rings, all cameras are focused on the area
of fire. The integrated monitoring system monitors various situations at the same
time, and focuses on solving problems by focusing quickly on events that occur.
For example, when the center is monitoring traffic, if some emergency situation
happened abruptly, CCTV start to configure and monitor the emergency spot with
various scenarios. 12 departments within Anyang City Hall use these systems
jointly. This cooperation among various departments is economically effective as
it integrates and utilizes the resources of the Smart City Center. The smart
facilities in the center also communicate with city officers' patrol cars and police
cars. In addition, many CCTVs are installed around the school and rotating
cameras are tracking crime around schools.
Nevertheless, IT technologies are evolving continuously, and the needs of citizens
are constantly increasing. In particular, there is a growing demand of citizens to
install CCTV near their homes.
Today's advanced CCTV technology not only has the ability to transmit pictures
to the centers but also has the ability to analyze the pictures.
For example, when a crime occurs, the process of displaying the situation in the
GIS system is automated by linking with the system around the crime spot.
Crime tends to happen to vulnerable populations, especially women. According
to the statistics, sexual harassments occur mostly early in the morning before
dawn. This kind crime critically damages women both physically and mentally.
To reduce crime targeting women and girls, Anyang City developed and provided
a Woman Safety App which supports women when they going back to home in
the night. This is designed to allow citizens to have their smart phones function
as personal CCTVs.
Another safety function run by Anyang City is the Women Safety Helper System.
People voluntarily register as women's safety assistants, watch for crime
situations, and when they are asked to help with a criminal situation; they quickly
respond to the situation such as call to smart center or open the window. This kind
of support is very helpful for the victims.
Anyang Smart Center also technically communicates with a Kindergarten Alarm
System. In addition, Anyang City cooperates with private a security company to
co-respond to the emergency situation.
Because the private sector has also invested a lot of capital to establish the
security system, Anyang City is cooperating with them to enhance the system’s
efficiency.
Another vulnerable place of crime is public toilets. So, Anyang City established
Women's Relief Zone facilitate the emergency bells. After this toilet project, the
crime rate in the toilet has reduced 17.8% over the past three years.
In order to select a location for CCTV installation, it is necessary to select
locations based on consideration of crime occurrence data such as murder,
robbery, sexual harassment and the data of place where single female households
live, where students live etc. It is possible to increase the efficiency by installing
safety facilities based on this type of scientific analysis.
Nowadays, many government officers of Central and South America have
visiting the Smart City Center of Anyang City. La República de Honduras and El
Salvador maintain a particularly close relationship with Anyang City.
Anyang City trying to make the city a safe place and share knowledge with other
cities globally.

Urban Lab Session
Godeok, Pyongtaek Smart Safer City Strategy
Hyuntgae Kim: General Manager, Urban Project Office
Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) is a national public enterprise that
focuses on the construction and supply of affordable housing through the efficient
use of land. I am in charge of the land development work of the New City Project.
The subject of today's speech is
The relationship between safety and housing construction
Pyeongtaek-Godeok New City Construction Project overview
Analysis of existing new cities safety condition
Basic principle of Safe city and direction
1. Conceptual Description of Safe Cities: According to the WHO, a safe city is
defined as a city that strives to secure community development consistently from
accident and damage through voluntary and systematic participation. LH
continues to make efforts to improve city safety. The three major types of
disruption to safety are crime, accidents, and disasters.
In recent years, major accidents in Republic of Korea have been due to a big
cruise ship sinking, the high traffic accident rate, and natural disasters that are
continuously increasing due to global warming. Since 1970, floods and storms
have been on a steady upward curve. In this context, LH continues to strive to
reduce social and economic losses from the onset of major accidents and serious
crimes.
2. Pyeongtaek-Godeok New City Construction Project: Pyeongtaek-Godeok New
City is located 55 km south of Seoul. The surrounding city is located on the
Gyeongbu Expressway, and on the west side of the West Coast Highway, there is
another highway between Seosuwon and Pyeongtaek. There are Kyungbu
Expressway and KTX, which cross the railroad. In Pyeongtaek-Godeok New
City, there are two types of housing that are normal houses and low-density
apartments. Public facility sites are allocated with space for citizens, such as
roads, parks, and green spaces.
Regarding the existing 16 New Cities, Bundang is a new city that can
accommodate 350,000 people. Ilsan, Pangyo and Dongtan can accommodate
276,000, 88,000,122,000 respectively.
Analysis data of the crime situation reveals that violence and theft account for
96% of the total crime types, and the rate of crime in Ilsan in 2012 has increased
since its construction completed. Analysis of traffic accidents reveals that 96% of
traffic accidents occur inside of intersections, and violations of law and simple
violating traffic sign, securing the safe distance, and violation of center line was
61%.
Safer City Basic Principles and Direction (CPTED) : It is basic concept of CPTED
that crime opportunities should be psychological and physical blocked.
Considering the components of crime are seen as victims, perpetrators, places,
and opportunities, the physical design of the environment, such as natural
monitoring and access control, will reduce the psychological conditions of crime
and block the possibility of crime. This is a comprehensive crime prevention
technique that enhances the sense of security.
Direction of safety policy of Pyeongtaek-Godeok New City project is;
1. By analyzing vulnerable areas through spatial analysis, LH has established
a customized crime prevention safety plan.
2. CCTV installation location is selected through spatial analysis and CPTED
is applied to access control around elementary schools and secondary
schools, and CCTV and security lights are established in areas where single
woman residents gather. The parks will be subject to natural surveillance.
3. Otherwise, our safety principles are adapted such as safety commute for
children, safety specialization for the socially vulnerable, define commercial
areas, define night vulnerable areas, intersections, and natural disaster safety
service zones. To be more specific;
a) The school safety service zone provides pedestrian crossing safety services and
crossing notification services.
b) There are similar example with Busan and Anyang City. We have a plan to
install a sensor that adjusts the brightness according to the moving direction of
citizens by maximizing the brightness through LED illumination control.
c) We plan to install an emergency booth. It provides a service to connect to the
police station or the place where the report can be processed by pressing the
button inside.
d) In case of an emergency, victims shake the smart phones and alert the police
of their situation.
e) In the commercial areas, especially vacant areas in the night and underground
parking lots are risky places from crime. Emergency Notification Service, and
Vehicle Tracking Management Service will be installed in this type of area.
CCTV and emergency buttons also will be installed on the streetlight polls.
f) The Vehicle Tracking Management Service enables communicate with police
or other officers in the City Smart Center.
g) Natural Disaster Safety Service will cover River Flood Warning Service, Fire
Alarm Service, etc. Mobile phone of people is one of the important facilities for
communication with Smart Center.

Partner Group
Crime Prevention through Smart City Approach
Dongok Lee: Senior Manager, Data Business Division, SK-Telecom
As one of the major telecommunication companies, SK Telecom has accumulated
a lot of data through SK Telecom's wireless network. Normally, it receives
location data from mobile phones every 10 or 15 minutes, SK Telecom can trace
the location of the smart phones. Internally accumulated data provides a
fundamental environment for big data analysis. Using mobile data, we can find
how many customers are currently in the fire area or it is possible to distinguish
the workers and the resident certain area.
For example, we can analyze the regions where young generation live and the
other regions old persons live mainly. If this information is combined with
government housing policy data or real estate data, it can be the background data
for government housing policy. SK Telecom also has partnerships with cable TV
companies, the Small and Medium Business Administration(SMBA) and the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation(MOLIT).
In general Big Data analysis, households and gender are useful to government
and used by private companies in commercial analysis.
1. Examples of cooperation with the Seoul Metropolitan Government(SMG):
a) SMG tried to analyze big data that could be used to create a re-employment
center. At that time, SK telecom provided them floating population data(the
workers not stable in some area and they move for the jobs).
b) Seoul Metropolitan City also used data from SK Telecom to analyze data to
select a location for public institutions called the Life Emojak Center, which
provides services to those who need re-employment over 53 years of age.
2. Example of cooperation with the Transportation Company:
Since the Korean Transportation Card System is well developed in Korea, it can
be effectively used to determine public transportation routes by combining the
public transportation start point and the arrival point data of the passengers using
the mobile data and the Transportation Card System.
3. Other examples:
a) For the establishing Yellow Brick Roads project for the blind, it is important
to know where blind citizens live and where they go. Through such a preliminary
analysis, the efficient path was selected and constructed in the right place.
b) For the tourism, to provide a satisfactory service to both restaurants owners
and visitors by categorizing by their characteristics. For example, according to
visitors' religions, visitors who do not eat pork and people who do not eat beef are
informed about where restaurants are selling their food.
c) IoT technology can be used for marketing during the lunch break. Google is
also offering many of these customized services.
d) SK Telecom's data was also used to conduct safety diagnosis-related projects
at a high-rise building at the Korea Institute of Construction Technology. By
comparing the area where the CCTV is installed and the area where the CCTV
installation was requested. In order to select these points, we can select the
appropriate CCTV location to make a safe city with weighted value of vulnerable
citizens such as women and children.
e) Analyzing SNS texts example: we can find areas where accidents are likely to
occur, where floods are predicted in heavy rain etc.
f) Open Data example around the world: Boston, United States, is a very good
example open data. It is opened where emergency rescue cannot be done within
10 minutes, shop owners' citizenship information. Even more, almost all of the
city's data is open. Citizens, students and researchers living in Boston will not
only combine these high-quality information with their own information to create
new information, but also open their own information to others.
It is important to create time series data. The reality of Korea is weak to making
time series data, so it is difficult to combine time series data among various
organizations. It is desirable that the private sector and the public cooperate to
make time series data.
Yellow Brick Roads: These are similar with Lego block pieces
imbedded into the flooring of the road. It is useful to help blind people
navigate: rectangular bricks in the straight areas and round circles at
stairs, roads, platform edges, etc.

Spatail Big Data Strategy for City lab on Smart Safer City
Ph.D. Junyoung Choi: Spatial Information Office, LH
1. UN Habitat Safer City
Our city is in danger of crime. Robert Muggah (2014) in his TED lecture defines
his city as fragile, vulnerable to crime due to the three characteristics of pace of
urbanization, the proportion of young people, and the bi-aspect of new
technology. Global agendas relating to cities that are safe from crime include the
non-discriminatory use of open spaces in Sections 11.7.1 and 11.7.2 of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and references to violence against
women, aims at the realization of a safe city through the integration of inclusive
means for urban safety and crime prevention along with the creation of a safe
street environment. With regard to Safer Cities Programme(SCP), international
organizations and central governments need to make efforts to realize safe cities
by monitoring the indicators and implementation issues mentioned in the SDG
and NUA.
2. Spatial Big Data Strategy for Safer City
Geospatial Big Data application for Safer Cities can be divided into two stages.
First, identify the appropriate spatial data and technologies needed for each stage
of diagnosis, implementation plan, implementation, and evaluation of safe cities.
Second, it is the step of identifying stakeholders and drawing out cooperation
measures. In terms of introducing smart technology, smart-safe cities are
important to partnership strategies such as participation and cooperation of
information and communication companies that have strong technical skills in
addition to traditional stakeholders.
Based on the above, the strategy of Smart Safer City requires a) in the aspect of
Knowledge; the selection of technology considering the technology base of the
local society and country, and it is necessary to understand the maturity of the
adoption of information technology in society. b) In the aspect of Learning; we
need to reduce the digital gap and nurture smart citizens, so that they can identify
and implement smart safer city cases. c) In the aspect of Support for the
Innovation, it is necessary to increase the capacity by introducing the same
approach as the living lab and using the new technology directly by the citizens.
Finally, in the aspect of Facilitating Solutions, collaboration between the open
source community and standardization bodies is essential to lowering deployment
and maintenance costs and lowering technology barriers.
Specifically, the Geospatial Big Data for the safety is identified from the
framework of the Safer Cities' City Changer Toolkit, identified the group at risk,
and applied at the urban design and planning stage and whole process will be
evaluated.
3. Case Study: Safe Route for Chungju City
The case analysis of safe walking road of Chungju city is explained by example
in accordance with 4 steps for problem solving approach of SCP.
a) In the risk assessment stage, crime occurrence statistics and hotspot data were
used to determine the frequency of crime occurrence. Crime was also selected as
the most frequent crime such as murder, robbery, rape, and theft.
b) In the implementation strategy phase, the Crime Risk Index Framework (CRIF)
was designed. Variables were largely mapped to pedestrian networks using night
time crime incidence, night time crime vulnerable facilities, night crime
prevention facilities, and night time flow population. The spatial correlation
between variables was analyzed through CRIF.
c) In the implementation phase, the statistical model for analysis has a large
number of network segments without crime, and 0 values are mapped to multiple
segments. To illustrate this normal distribution and other distributions, we
constructed and analyzed a zero inflated Poisson regression based on a null
hypothesis. The results of the analysis are classified into very dangerous,
dangerous, normal, and safety stages. As a result of the analysis, the crime risk
index showed high spatial correlation with the number of crime incidents and
CCTV location. Also, it was found that crime risk area and crime risk index by
the community mapping by the citizens are in agreement with each other. The
results of the analysis can also be used to provide citizens with safe route
information from crime.
4. How Smart Technology Makes Cities Safer?
It can be presented next step in the future through analysis examples using global
agenda and Geospatial Big Data related to SCP.
a) First, SCP needs to design City Lab model with Smart technology to achieve
the Sustainable Development Goals.
b) Second, standardized indicators and analytical models for spatial analysis
techniques such as SCP's Geospatial Big Data will be needed to produce
consistent and informative results.
c) Third, identification of vulnerable groups such as women, young people, and
elderly people using mobile phones should become a necessary methodology for
inclusive city growth and safe city in the analysis of vulnerable groups for SCP
application.
d) Fourth, applying data analysis method such as Big Data to SCP is the most
important thing to secure data that meets the purpose. It will be the important task
to check the possibility to obtain data before the analysis method is determined.

Round Table Discussion / Q&A (All Speakers/Participants)
Moderator: Bongmoon Choi, Korea Planning Association (Mokwon Univ.)
Round Table Paticipants: DongchunRyu(LH), JumaAssiago(UN-Habitat),
Adriana Moreno(DNP, Colombia), Youngeun Kim(Seoul National Univ.
Student)
=========================================================
=========
Round Table1: participants comments - Key Points
Local governments should make continuous efforts to solve the problems of
safety, natural disasters and environmental problems by utilizing developed
smart city technology.
Korea has been doing a lot of efforts to make the U-City law since 10 years
ago and these efforts have become a basis for the development of smart
technology later. The concept of GNSC or City Lab of UN-habitat Safer
cities Programme will be a good subject for cooperation between the two
organizations that have the same purpose of safety. Today, many cities have
been explaining examples of integrated control centers on the theme of safer
city. In the early stage, there was a lot of resistance due to doubts as to
whether cooperation between various stakeholders and high cost of
implementation. As a result, the Integrated Control Center of U-City plays
a major role in reducing the crime rate, and if combined with the recent big
data analysis, it is expected that the function of the integrated control center
will be upgraded one level and move forward.
Round Table2: Q & A
Question A:'Do you really need an integrated control center (Smart Monitoring
Center) to build a new city?'
Dhaka, Bangladesh is a city where 600,000 people are being added each year.
Now, in the metropolitan area, 17 million people are living, and in the core city,
Dhaka, 8 million people are living. Density by square kilometer in Dhaka city is
almost 48,000. Sometimes I hear from Korean people that in Seoul City, 17,000
people live per square kilometer, so just think about my city’s position: 48.000
people by square kilometer and 600,000 people added every year. So, the priority
issue of my city is definitely not the safety issue on the top position. Definitely
our government’s top issue is providing housing, infrastructure etc. When I was
hearing the Korean experiences, I was thinking whether it is applicable to my city
or not. Maybe to some they are applicable but others they are not. But the most
important thing what I believe is that in Korea’s case, they have a very strong
infrastructure, they have already established good infrastructure on artificial
intelligence, big data, IOT, which we don’t have yet. So, for my city, I think that
we need some preventive measures as Juma Assiago from UN-HABITAT
mentioned. We need low cost solutions based on the experiences from other
developing world cities. So, I have a question to UN-HABITAT representative
that so far you supported a lot of cities under the UN-HABITAT Safer Cities
Program, my question is, what is the success rate before and after the program
initiated by UN-HABITAT Safer Cities Program regarding safety issues?
Answer A-1: Dongchun Ryu
'Do you really need an integrated control center (Smart Monitoring Center) to
build a new city?' That was a frequently asked question to the government and a
controversial issue at early stage of U-City 20 years ago. The one reason of this
question was high cost and the other one was cooperation difficulties among
various stakeholders. However, as a result, it is contributing to lowering the crime
rate and many other benefit for the both city government and citizens. Korea Land
& Housing Corporation (LH) is focusing not just on physical city that are
managed or operated concern, but an institution that design and develops New
Cities. Most cities have met obstacles when they made a plan of safe city networks
because of the controversy about the necessity of such a Smart City Monitoring
Center. However, the result of this project was a success. Now, it is the time to
upgrade ability of Smart City Monitoring Center with recent high technology
such as Big Data analysis from devious sources. Today's example of SK Telecom
would be the good source to improve safety in the cities.
Answer A - 2: Comment: Moderator comment
Since 1997, National Geographic Information System (NGIS) project, which is a
nationwide GIS project, has been initiated in Republic of Korea. From 2000, U-
City project was actively promoted too. Smart City Monitoring Center is a big
part of U-City project. There are many efficient outputs of this project, such as
forest fire prevention, traffic management, and crime prevention. Based on U-
City, government of Republic of Korea pursuing Smart City to go to the next
level.
The present stage of the Integrated Control Center is not obtained in a single
moment, but is accumulated and created in the two decades with trial and error
continuously. U-city has been changed to Smart City since about three years ago.
If Smart City concept and UN-Habitat Safer Cities approach cooperation together
for the Smart and Safer City, there would be a lot of possibilities to implement
SDGs and NUA globally.
Answer A-3: Juma Assiago
This is a very positive question which UTC challenges the various sense of what
we have talked of here. We have been supporting over 70 cities over the last 20
years. Various cities have established a way of an institutionalized way how to
address crime and violence in a very localized way.
In South Africa, we have three metropolitan cities where we implemented Safer
Cities technical intervention. Long after UN-Habitat Safer Cities Programme
technical intervention in implementing their safer cities programmes:
Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town. The same approach applied to these three
cities has been institutionalized and realized results in different ways. In Cape
Town, the approach has taken an orientation on how to improve the conditions of
townships; those vulnerable parts of the city and finding where is a path to
integrate those in a mainstream realm of the city. It has taken a more physical
infrastructure approach where public space is at the center and how the
communities are actually included in appropriating public spaces. So essentially,
we are talking about as scenario where an ordinary slum upgrading programme,
which is very evidently in Bangladesh, is approached in a different way where
the house is not necessarily the center of slum upgrading but the orientation
shifted to the improvements that had to be made on the streets and open spaces,
and in this way enhance the communities’ ownership. In addition, the
communities begin to participate in their own social cooperative ways in the
transformation of neighbourhood. So, the citizen through the prevention approach
begins to become the key actors in driving those processes of upgrading in some
areas of Cape Town. In Durban, the safety approach is adapted to an integrated
area management system.
In this context, citizens began to establish what they call “community safety
oriented”, and in these, they use a data collecting system called safety profiles
which has now become the way the city integrates that information in the
orientation of city crime and violence. So public spaces are key. They have a key
outcome of one market space called the Warwick Junction, and it is an integrated
area system that is not just the market but in the way the market has integrated
the women, and particularly the small scale of women traders into the way the
city functions. The data from the police show the incremental reduction in crime
in those particular ways. Before 20 years ago, this place was considered as the
hot spot of the city.
Question B:
About Ethiopia: Different countries have different levels of development and
different levels of criminality. So, how does UN-HABITAT Safer Cities
Programme help those countries of the world with different levels of
development? Is there a mechanism to work with them?
Answer B: Anyang city Officer
After nine years of operation of Smart Monitoring Center in Anyang, there have
been many trials and errors. I would like to define Smart Monitoring Center
project as equal meaning of integration among various stakeholders.
Implementing an integrated control center is not about creating new things, but
rather integrating existing data with many organizations. that are not easy to
cooperate with each other. In practice, the most difficult challenge is
administrative integration.
In fact, it is difficult to cooperate with the police. Even if you do not start
conversation with the police, making consensus among the various departments
inside the city is also difficult. Technological integration was not a big problem,
but administrative integration was difficult. Many of those from overseas come
to ask this question. 'Why does the city concern about the criminal?''Is it more
efficient to build a Smart City Center in the Police?' The answer of these question
would not be just one. The right answer would depend on the city’s situation.
In Korea, there is a maintained form of dispatching police officers in the Smart
City Center inside local city government. However, cooperation with the police
and other stakeholders is still one of the biggest challenges. Even though the
administrative and police departments worked equally to pursue the safety of
citizens, it was very difficult to have the police come to the control center to work
sometimes. The way to solve these problems is to draw mutual empathy, not to
be solved by instructions and regulations.
Key outcomes:
a. Co-operate Project monitoring City Smart and Safety situation and
building Index. Among 'A guide to Assess National and Local Governments to Monitor and
Report on SDG Goal 11 Indicators', a Proposed Indicator for Target 11.7 is
'Proposed persons victim of physical or Sexual harassment, by Sex, Age,
disability status and place of occurrence in the previous 12 months.'
The objective and evidence-based approach to implement SDGs and NUA is
important and there is no exception for Crime Prevention and Safety in Urban
and human settlement.
To evaluate the safety situation of the city, we are heavily depending on the data
from police and safety audit data and victimization survey data. Nowadays,
technology is advancing quickly and affect various factors of urban issues
connected together closely. Analyzing indicators of safety based on smart city,
it will be more effective and objective indicator.
b. Implementing Smart Safety Award based on evaluating cities with Smart
and Safety Index. A smart city is an instrumented, interconnected and intelligent city that is required
to adapt itself to the city needs, and aims to create sustainable development, sound
economic growth and improve the quality of life for its citizens. It is also a city
that inspire, share culture, knowledge and life, and motivates its inhabitants to
create.
The concept of smart city is built on three factors; technology, human and
institutional, in which creativity is recognized as a key driver. These three factors
offer a socio-technical view, which emphasize a focus on transportation and
public spaces, governance, economy, society, sustainability, data and technology,
safety and surveillance, infrastructure, energy, and urban development.
Among various socio-technical views, some cities will be chosen with high
ranked smart safety score and will get Smart and Safety award.
c. Dissemination of best practices and capacity building. In 2017, the Global Network on Safer Cities launched the City Lab on Safer Cities
project. With the philosophy of promoting the right of everyone to enjoy the city
and its public spaces, the project aims at using the existing local capacities and
experience to achieve more inclusive, resilient, sustainable and safer cities. To do
so, it will encourage knowledge exchange on policies, strategies, practices, tools
and models on urban crime and violence prevention during the implementation
of the New Urban Agenda and while achieving the Sustainable Development
Goals. By the end of 2019, up to 30 City Labs will be established.
The Cities high ranked Smart and Safety Award, will share their smart safety
models as an activities of City Lab network. Also this best practice will be a case
study for capacity building program for other cities globally.
Conclusion & way forward
Seoul, Republic of Korea Urban Thinkers Campus, 'How Smart Technology can
make cities Safer.' to find ways which urban safety and crime prevention can be
promoted through Smart Technology. As a result, we reached to consensus to
collaborate in the future to find conversions point between technology and social
approach to make city safer. Out of these presentations, commentaries and
questions of clarity, partner groups gained an understanding various experience
of Korean local governments Smart Safer city experience.
There are three kinds cooperation ways suggested in the UTC; 1) Urban Safety
Monitoring and building Smart Safety Index, 2) Implementing Smart Safety
Award, and 3) Knowledge exchange and capacity building.
