Gangnam-gu, ICT-Based 'Untact Disabled Parking Enforcement'

93 Public Parking Spaces at District Offices Pilot Operation... Real-Time Vacancy Check Available via 'The Gangnam' App

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has established an 'Untact Disabled Parking Zone Management System' utilizing information and communication technology (ICT), and will begin pilot enforcement starting this month with 93 spaces in public parking lots.

This system links Internet of Things (IoT) technology with the administrative information network to provide voice guidance when non-disabled individuals park in disabled-only parking spaces. It has been initially installed in 93 spaces across some public parking lots, including the Gangnam-gu Office parking lot and Gangnam-gu Health Center.

Additionally, through the application 'The Gangnam,' users can check the availability of disabled-only parking spaces in real time, and enforcement officers can take and send photos, making it effective in preventing illegal parking.

The district plans to operate the system on a trial basis until the end of the year and, if a clear reduction in illegal parking is observed, intends to expand it to private parking lots as well.

Jang Jeong-eun, Director of the Social Welfare Division, stated, "This project aims to secure disabled parking spaces at all times to guarantee the mobility rights of disabled drivers and to prevent illegal parking in advance." She added, "We will continue to expand proactive 'smart welfare services' to realize demand-centered customized welfare."
