[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk (Governor Yu Gisang) announced on the 23rd that it has installed 'solar-powered smart benches' in front of the Eupseong Management Office and the Cultural Center fountain to enhance residents' convenience.

The 'solar-powered smart bench' is a bench equipped with solar panels. It collects and utilizes solar energy, functioning as a mini renewable energy power plant.

Recently, Gochang-gun has pilot-installed smart benches at Gochang Eupseong, the Cultural Center fountain, in front of the county library, Gochang Indoor Gymnasium, and Gochang Wolgok Park.

The installed smart benches have solar power generation blocks on the seating surface that generate electricity. The produced electricity is used for charging mobile devices and landscape lighting. Street lamps are also installed together, enhancing safety and crime prevention.

Gochang-gun plans to install various smart benches in outdoor resting areas for residents, such as parks and hiking trail entrances, selecting locations with sufficient sunlight (more than 3.5 hours per day).

Gochang-gun will also conduct meticulous aftercare to ensure residents experience no inconvenience in using the benches.
