Expectations for Nighttime Safety Improvement and Crime Rate Reduction Effects

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Lee ○ Young (female, 32, resident of Hwagok-dong) said with a bright smile, "I used to feel anxious whenever I entered the alley after finishing work late at night, but these days I am not afraid. That's because a 'Logojector' that brightly illuminates the dark alley has been installed."


Gangseo-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Noh Hyun-song) installed 'Logojectors' at 15 women’s safe return home paths to ease the anxiety of residents returning home late at night.


The Logojector (LED landscape lighting) is a device that projects specific letters or images with LED lights onto the ground or walls.


This project was chosen after careful consideration by the district office and Gangseo Police Station (Chief Heo Chan) to provide psychological stability to pedestrians and raise awareness among criminals to prevent crimes in advance.


The women’s safe return home paths were designated by Gangseo Police Station based on the presence of security facilities and the number of 112 emergency calls.


The phrases projected by the Logojector include six types such as "You are not alone. Return home safely," "Safe Gangseo, a different level of Safe Gangseo," "Safe return home YES," and "#SafeReturnHome #TodayToo #Street."


In particular, many residents commented that the lighting effect is excellent and also serves as street lighting, further enhancing the safety of nighttime pedestrians.


A district official said, "We installed the Logojector to create a safe nighttime walking environment," and added, "We will continue to do our best to create an environment where residents can live with peace of mind."
