Abstract
In this study, we analyzed changes in policies after the Korean New Deal Policy in 2020, metaverse and 6th generation communication technology. In the research and development of geoscience and mineral resources, we emphasized on the connection between smart cities and digital twins by focusing on the linkage of the real world and geo-information. Further, we examined trends in developing digital twins after the Korean New Deal Policy in 2020 that focused on three-dimensional visualization technology, the first stage in implementing digital twins, and real-time monitoring technology of underground information, the second implementing stage. As results of this study, we emphasized on the efforts to provide accurate underground information based on geology, groundwater and geo-environment and to analyze and predict near-real-time levels of available underground information to the industry, local governments and the central governments. Research and development that integrate the fields of geology, environment, and information is required to lead national digital twin policies and smart city policies owing to the acceleration of the digital economy in Korea and globally during the post-Corona era.
