Seocho-gu Encourages Opening of Gas Station Restrooms

This Year, 28 Public Restrooms in Gas Stations Designated as Open Restrooms; Gas Stations to Install Signage and Emergency Bells, Provide Toilet Paper and Volume-Based Waste Bags

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (District Mayor Eunhee Jo) has designated 28 public restrooms within gas stations as open restrooms to enhance convenience for residents and foster a pleasant restroom culture.

This year, the district selected 28 gas stations out of a total of 36 registered gas stations in the area, excluding those already receiving support, as targets for assistance, providing toilet paper and volume-based waste bags.

Gas stations designated as open restrooms will have signboards installed to help users easily locate the restrooms, and emergency bells will be installed to prevent crime and ensure safe restroom use.

Additionally, twice a year, in the first and second halves, the district will thoroughly review the actual availability of the restrooms, the provision of restroom supplies, satisfaction with the project, issues, and areas for improvement, and reflect these in future operations.

Seocho District Mayor Eunhee Jo stated, “By designating gas stations as open restrooms, we expect to reduce the restroom management burden on gas station owners and make restroom use more convenient for residents.”
