Gyeonggi Province social and safety initiatives
Overview
Gyeonggi Province is implementing various social and administrative initiatives to support vulnerable populations and enhance public safety.
In September, the province announced plans to expand its brand and intellectual property, including the character ‘Bonggongi’, to support self-reliance programs for the elderly and disabled. Additionally, the province is preparing to take over labor inspection authority for workplaces with fewer than 30 employees from the central government starting in December, deploying 170 inspectors to focus on high-risk sectors like manufacturing.
To combat real estate fraud, the province and the Ministry of Science and ICT will launch a pilot program for ‘Gyeonggi Safe Real Estate’ (GRTS) in October. This AI-driven service aims to prevent lease fraud by analyzing property rights, monitoring contract processes via voice recognition, and providing 24-hour alerts regarding registry changes. The pilot phase will involve approximately 15,000 real estate agents participating in the existing ‘Gyeonggi Safe Jeonse Project’.
Furthermore, on September 21, the province launched an ‘Employee Authenticity Verification System’ to address rising impersonation scams. This tool allows users to verify the identity of individuals claiming to be provincial officials by checking their department, name, phone number, and email against the official personnel database. The initiative follows reports of 183 impersonation attempts between last year and September, which resulted in financial damages totaling 351.7 million won.
