Analysis of the potential for Artificial Intelligence utilization in national land formation considering a human-centered design

Abstract

In 2023, the Third National Land Formation Plan (National Plan) was decided by the Cabinet; revisions of local plans in various regions based on this plan are anticipated. This study examined the potential for recent artificial intelligence (AI) utilization in national land development, with a focus on human-centered design that considered the opinions and requests of the residents. The results of a quantification theory analysis of previous national surveys regarding social infrastructure suggest that residents’ perceptions of current social infrastructure development vary according to living area and age. An experimental examination of urban landscape images of major and local cities using recent AI revealed that the use of large-scale language models and layer-generation AI may be effective in developing urban plans that are innovative, dynamic, and most importantly, human-centered.
