The city has expanded the system, which was previously only applied to new development permit applications, to now also cover amendment permits and completion applications. As a result, all related documents can now be managed consistently and systematically from initial application through subsequent processing.

The IPSS is an online-based integrated permit support system established and operated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Citizens can now apply for development permits online without visiting administrative offices, and can also monitor the status of their applications after submission.

To prepare for the full implementation of the system, the city commissioned a database (DB) construction project for development permit documents last year. On July 30, Icheon City held a meeting of its public-private partnership council, explaining the expanded implementation to relevant organizations such as the Icheon Regional Architects Association, the Spatial Information Industry Association, and the Administrative Society, and requested their cooperation.

Mayor Seong Sooseok stated, "By digitizing development permit administration, we can not only enhance convenience for civil petitioners and increase efficiency in administrative work, but also provide citizens with better permit-related administrative services."
