PURPOSE The main purpose of this study is to identify the direction and prospect of ground subsidence prevention policy using digital technology. METHOD This study was conducted by applying in-depth interview technique and content analysis to experts in the civil engineering and construction industry from November 23 to December 10, 2021. RESULT The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, as for the perception of ground subsidence, contents such as the need for overall planning and supervision according to social interest enhancement the phenomena caused by the weakening of the ground, and the phenomena that occur naturally or artificially were derived. Second, as for the main causes of ground subsidence, the contents such as deterioration of water and sewer pipes, poor compaction and insufficient selection of construction methods, and occurrence due to natural and artificial causes were derived. Third, in relation to the problems expected when constructing an automatic measurement system using artificial intelligence, dualization of system construction, intersystem linkage and standardization, and legislation of cost designation were derived. Fourth, in the ground subsidence prevention policy using the installation of a dedicated organization and systematization of the management system, the need to establish a DB, and the enactment of legislation to apply the measurement and management system were derived. CONCLUSION In order to prevent future ground subsidence in advance, it is necessary to systematically build an innovative system based on digital technology.
