Why Did Dongdaemun-gu Hire 28 'Bitmulbadi Jikimi' Guardians?

Continuous Cleaning and Maintenance of Rainwater Drains and Cross Drains to Prevent Summer Flood Damage... Document Submission on 15th-16th

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) will operate the '2020 Bitmulbaji Jikimi' from March to October to create jobs and prevent flood damage caused by heavy summer rains.

To this end, the district is conducting recruitment this month for 28 'Bitmulbaji Jikimi' positions.

Applicants must have their resident registration address in Dongdaemun-gu as of the recruitment announcement date (January 3) and be residents aged between 45 (born on or before December 31, 1976) and 70 (born on or after January 1, 1952). Preference is given to economically vulnerable groups aged 55 and over and those eligible for employment support under the Act on Veterans Benefits.

Residents wishing to apply for the 'Bitmulbaji Jikimi' recruitment should visit the 7th floor of Dongdaemun-gu Office's Water Management Division in person on the 15th or 16th to submit their documents.

The district plans to conduct document screening and interviews for those who pass the document screening within this month, and select the final successful candidates for hiring in early next month.

The hired Bitmulbaji Jikimi will inspect and manage approximately 21,000 rainwater inlets in multi-use facilities and side streets for about seven months from March to October.

In particular, areas with heavy foot traffic such as bus stops and subway stations, where large amounts of trash are generated, will be intensively managed by a dedicated team.

Additionally, by regularly inspecting rainwater inlets in low-lying residential areas and maintaining them in good condition, they will serve as guardians to prevent flood damage caused by heavy rains during the monsoon season.

Song Ki-min, head of the Water Management Division, stated, “Through the Bitmulbaji Jikimi project, we expect to achieve a twofold effect of providing jobs to residents and preventing flood damage during the monsoon season.”
