Step 2 Rural agricultural burn management digitization
→
Step 3 Burn permit & reporting automation chatbot

Problem

Rural farmers (aged 60+) are required to report agricultural burns (field edges, farm waste) to their local fire station, but many skip the process due to unfamiliarity or inconvenience—leading to hundreds of wildfire incidents annually. Damage per incident can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars in forest losses, and individual farmers face fines of 1,000,000 KRW (~$750) or more.

Solution

A KakaoTalk chatbot that auto-detects GPS location → matches the jurisdictional fire station → auto-fills and submits the burn permit application → notifies approval status → handles post-burn completion reporting—all in one flow. Integrated with Korea Meteorological Administration wind speed and dry weather advisory APIs to automatically warn when conditions are unsafe for burning.

Target: Rural farmers aged 60+, village leaders and community managers in rural townships
Revenue Model: Free basic reporting. B2G monthly license for local governments: 500,000 KRW (~$375)/municipality (includes village-level management dashboard). 20% discount on annual contracts.
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
