Environmental Improvements Including Installation of Blockage System Around Dorimcheon in Dongjak-gu

Installation of Access Control Systems at 3 Dorimcheon Entry and Exit Points Completed... LED Security Lights and Landscape Lighting with 196 Ground Spotlights and Photo Zones to Be Installed by September

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Lee Chang-woo) is promoting environmental improvement construction for the safety of residents using the Dorimcheon area until September.

Dorimcheon is a representative waterfront space visited by many residents, equipped with various convenience facilities such as bicycle paths, walking trails, and exercise facilities. There are a total of 9 access points along the approximately 1.5 km section within the district.

Through this improvement project, the district will install LED security lights, landscape and gobo lights under the low-illumination Dorimcheon bridges, and install access blocking systems in sections with a high risk of accidents due to sudden nighttime heavy rain, helping residents to pass safely.

Last year, six remote-controlled access blocking systems and four CCTVs were installed at Dorimcheon access points, and last month, three blocking systems, five CCTVs, and nine voice output devices were completed.

In particular, recently, as heavy rain continues, the district office is quickly blocking resident passage through remote control of the access blocking systems from the control room, preventing isolation accidents in the river.

Also, by September, gobo lights displaying location information and safety messages will be installed at 10 safety-vulnerable points around Dorimcheon to strengthen safety and prevent crime.

The installation of security lights applying CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) design will widen the light range and improve illumination from 5 lux (lx) to 20-25 lux (lx), adjusting the color temperature comfortably to minimize eye fatigue for users of walking trails and bicycle roads.

The newly installed lights will operate on a dimming system from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., when pedestrian traffic is low, to save energy.

Additionally, color floodlights, plaza landscape lighting, and photo zones will be added to provide various attractions for residents using Dorimcheon.

Kim Sang-hoon, head of the Water Management Division, said, “This improvement project allows residents to use Dorimcheon facilities more conveniently. We will continue to do our best to prevent safety accidents through continuous inspection and environmental improvement around the river.”

Last summer, the district carried out maintenance and relocation work on old and poor sewage pipelines in three sections, including Sadang-dong and the area around Sindaebang Samgeori Station, which are priority management areas for flood damage during the summer season, and inspected 4,900 sewage manholes in major arterial road sections and the Sangdo-dong and Sindaebang-dong areas.
