Over 2,500 Manufacturers in Seoul Sewoon Sangga Area at a Glance... Online 'Sewoon Map' Launched

Providing Information on Urban Manufacturing Items, Phone Numbers, Locations, and Technical Terms

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Seoul City will officially operate the online map 'Sewoon Map (map.sewoon.org)' from the 28th as part of the urban regeneration project in the Sewoon Shopping Center area, allowing users to see the local industrial ecosystem at a glance.

This map provides easy access to information such as the names, products, phone numbers, and locations of over 2,500 urban manufacturing companies in the Sewoon area, including Yeji-dong, Ipjeong-dong, Sanlim-dong, and Jangsa-dong, as well as technical terms, production cases, and internal maps of Sewoon Shopping Center.

The Sewoon Shopping Center area is home to many factories with technical expertise, various parts and materials distribution companies, and processing companies. It is also frequented by diverse makers, designers, and entrepreneurs for new product manufacturing. However, until now, it has been difficult to find or utilize information about local companies. Accordingly, Sewoon Map is expected to improve practical accessibility for users and help revitalize the local industry.

Sewoon Map can be easily used by anyone without separate membership registration and offers various services to facilitate smooth communication and transactions between companies and visitors, as well as providing company information in the Sewoon Shopping Center area.

For example, if you enter 'Sibori' in the search bar, a list of Sibori companies located in the Sewoon Shopping Center area and explanations of technical terms related to Sibori will appear. The company list can be sorted by 'alphabetical order,' 'recommended order,' or 'closest to my location,' and detailed information about companies can be checked through phone numbers, websites, detailed products, photos, and tags (features).

The production and operation of Sewoon Map are managed by the Sewoon Collaboration Support Center, which plans to continuously monitor and improve functions, expand content, and encourage participation from more businesses. Businesses located in this area can modify or newly register their company information free of charge.

The city plans to expand the online map to include company information and printing technology information for the Chungmuro printing-specialized zone, which is the second phase of the Sewoon area.

Kang Maeng-hoon, Director of Urban Regeneration at Seoul City, said, "Through the Sewoon Map online map, we provide various information about urban manufacturing in the Sewoon-Cheonggyecheon area, and we hope it will serve as an opportunity to help activate urban manufacturing in the Sewoon Shopping Center area by enabling entrepreneurs, designers, and makers to more easily meet and collaborate with local manufacturing and distribution resources."
