[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Euncheon-dong Community Service Center in Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) has been reborn as a ‘Green Healing Office’ filled with air-purifying plants.

The Euncheon-dong Community Service Center applied for the ‘2020 Green Healing Office Creation Contest’ hosted by the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center and was finally selected in March, receiving 18 million KRW in city funding.

Since June, the community center has begun on-site inspections and construction, planting green plants effective in improving air quality throughout the civil service office and welfare consultation spaces, providing a nature-friendly and pleasant environment for both staff and visitors.

An official from the community center said, “By placing various air-purifying plants in the cramped office space, we expect not only to improve indoor air quality but also to help enhance employees’ work efficiency and relieve stress through visual effects.”

A visitor named Kim who visited the community center said, “As soon as I entered the community center, I felt as if I had come to a botanical garden, which made me feel comfortable and allowed me to receive civil service consultations with a healing mindset, so I am very satisfied.”

The Euncheon-dong Community Service Center plans to strengthen the Green Healing Office environment in July and will continue to collaborate with Seoul City to measure employees’ stress levels before and after the creation of the Green Healing Office, conduct satisfaction evaluations and training, and continuously strive to improve work efficiency and relieve stress.

Mayor Park Junhee stated, “We plan to expand the ‘Green Healing Office’ to improve indoor environments and work efficiency using plants,” adding, “We will do our best to discover and implement green infrastructure policies to enhance the quality of life for residents.”
