Gwangju Nam-gu Supports Up to 10 Million Won for 'Separate Male and Female Open Restrooms'

Application Submission Until the 28th... 2-3 Facilities Selected for Improvement

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 11th that it will carry out a support project this year to separate men's and women's restrooms in 2 to 3 privately operated open restrooms to improve user convenience.

The support amount covers up to 50% of the construction cost, with a maximum support amount of 10 million KRW.

However, if the requested amount exceeds the support amount, the support amount may be adjusted after review, and the self-payment ratio may also increase beyond 50%.

If subsidies are applied for through fraudulent means, self-payment costs are unpaid, or the restroom is not operated as an open restroom for three years, subsidy payments will be canceled and reclaimed, including any accrued interest.

Nam-gu plans to receive applications until the 28th and select target restrooms for support based on priority.

The first priority for support is separating entrances for men's and women's shared restrooms, the second priority is separating floors for men's and women's shared restrooms, and the third priority is restrooms seeking facility improvements to ensure safe use of private open restrooms.

A Nam-gu official said, "We will do our best to improve facilities and manage them so that residents can use open restrooms safely and with peace of mind."
