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.

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.
