Gwangju Dong-gu Promotes Walking Campaign Linked with Mobile 'Stair King'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 31st that it will promote walking practice linked with the mobile app ‘Gyedanwang’ to activate the use of the health stairs in the government building and establish a walking culture in employees' daily lives.

For employees who do not have time to exercise separately, stair walking linked with the ‘Gyedanwang’ app has the advantage of being free from restrictions on costs, time, and place required for exercise, allowing it to be practiced anytime in daily life.

The health stairs, created by attaching wallpaper printed with real images to feel nature such as hiking trails and forest paths, are expected to help relieve work stress and improve work efficiency while climbing, contributing to a healthy work life.

The ‘Gyedanwang’ app allows users to check personal activity records and ranking positions, and includes content that motivates stair walking, such as selecting the best stair-walking department and individual stair king.

In addition, Dong-gu plans to focus on establishing a walking culture by creating a safe walking environment through reorganizing urban health paths, operating walking clubs, and linking walking apps to continuously encourage local residents to walk.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “We will continue to do our best to create a ‘healthy and happy Dong-gu for all’ through the creation of a healthy environment for Dong-gu residents and the continuous promotion of health policies.”
