Gwangju Buk-gu Signs MOU with Save the Children Korea for 'Play Environment Diagnosis Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] On the 6th, Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Moon In) announced that it has signed a business agreement with Save the Children Korea (NGO) and will promote the ‘Play Environment Diagnosis Project’ until the end of the year to create a child-friendly city.

The Play Environment Diagnosis Project aims to conduct a full survey of children's parks and playgrounds and gather opinions from residents, experts, and various sectors to create a play environment suited to the characteristics of the region.

According to the agreement, Buk-gu will form a child and resident survey team to provide administrative support for the survey, while Save the Children will be responsible for planning the play environment diagnosis, operating and managing professional survey companies, and holding result reporting meetings.

The project will begin recruiting about 180 children and resident survey team members this month, followed by non-face-to-face monitoring of 89 sites starting next month.

Additionally, together with a research specialist institution, the monitoring results of the survey team will be analyzed, and in November, a workshop for gathering opinions on directions for improving the play environment and a performance sharing meeting will be held.

Buk-gu plans to prepare a play environment improvement plan based on the project results and use it as policy data related to the promotion of children's rights.

Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “We hope that this project will enhance children's right to play,” and added, “We will continue to create a safe play environment where all children can play without discrimination.”
