“Happiness Is Close By” Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Installs Banners Everywhere

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] 'Happiness banners' have been hung throughout Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

On the 15th, Gwangsan-gu announced that as part of the 'Happiness Policy Branding Project,' large banners themed 'Moments of Happiness, Gwangsan' were installed at 10 public facilities including the Gwangsan-gu Office, Suwan-dong Administrative Welfare Center, and Bitgoeul National Sports Center.

The banners come in five types, each featuring the phrase "Now, this moment! Happiness is at my ear/nose tip/fingertip/toe tip/eye corner" along with illustrations.

They also include messages about practicing social distancing in daily life to prevent COVID-19 infection.

In March, the district also installed large banners with hopeful messages at the district office and 21 dong administrative welfare centers to comfort citizens exhausted by COVID-19.

Meanwhile, Gwangsan-gu, which has set citizen happiness as its administrative goal, has promoted the happiness policy branding project as well as enacted a happiness ordinance last year, developed happiness indicators, held a happiness Gwangsan proclamation ceremony, and established the first happiness policy dedicated organization, the Happiness Policy Officer, among basic local governments nationwide.

This year, it plans to discover happiness policies by department, hold a happiness policy resident idea contest, support Gwangsan happiness clubs, organize a citizen happiness committee, and conduct a citizen happiness survey.
