[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 9th that it will promote the ‘Ssamji Public Parking Lot Project,’ which converts public/abandoned houses, old houses, and vacant lots near areas with severe parking difficulties into village parking lots and opens them to residents free of charge.

This project was prepared to alleviate parking difficulties in downtown and residential areas, and this year, about two village parking lots will be created through resident contests.

Accordingly, the district will hold a contest for parking lot sites targeting residents and neighborhood autonomous committees (committees) until the 28th of this month.

Applications for the contest can be submitted directly by residents to the local administrative welfare center of the address or the Buk-gu Office Traffic Guidance Division after consulting with the landowner and obtaining consent from more than 10 neighboring households to prevent disputes among neighbors, or after review by the neighborhood autonomous committee (committee).

The district plans to prioritize sites that meet the criteria of at least 10 parking spaces and an area of 330㎡ or more, and proceed with construction after on-site inspection, compensation negotiation, land purchase, and resident briefing sessions.

District Mayor Moon In said, “We will actively reflect residents’ opinions to ensure that the Ssamji Public Parking Lot can help alleviate parking difficulties in downtown and residential areas.”

Meanwhile, since 2012 until last year, Buk-gu has created a total of 30 Ssamji public parking lots (310 spaces) in various places such as Im-dong, Yongbong-dong, Duam-dong, and Yangsan-dong, greatly improving the parking environment for local residents and receiving great responses from them.
