Rearranging a Zone of Public Services by Using Vehicle Navigation Data

The public service areas in Seoul, especially fire service areas, are determined based on administrative districts. However, the administrative district-based system may cause an imbalance between the service zones and service demand areas, and consequently, lead to loss of human lives and property. This study aims to reduce fire service response time by rearranging fire service zones. The potential fire service and fire demand map were drawn from the car navigation data and social statistics, and used for quantifying the gap. The results show that the integration of the service zones had significant improvement, while some areas are still vulnerable, because these areas have heavy congestion and large service zone areas. This method needs to be further developed for application in actual practice, nevertheless, this study examines fire vulnerable areas in terms of macroscopic views and it could be used as base data for future local or national government projections.
