Eunpyeong-gu Holds River Forum to Understand River Ecosystems and Urban Rivers

Four Thematic River Forums to Be Held Starting from the 8th

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) plans to hold a total of four thematic river forums starting from the 8th, with the participation of about 30 residents and stakeholders interested in rivers, along with experts, to exchange diverse opinions.

The river forums are organized and conducted with themes such as "Preservation and Use of Urban Rivers, Finding Their Intersection," "Research on Sustainable River Preservation and Use Plans in Eunpyeong-gu," "How to Restore Nokbeoncheon," and "Various Cases of Citizen Participation in River Management and Activation Tasks," to encourage participation from all sectors on topics of interest for the sustainable preservation and use of Eunpyeong-gu’s rivers.

Rivers in the Eunpyeong-gu area, including Jingwancheon, parts of Changneungcheon, Motjarigolcheon, Gupabalcheon, Baekhwasa Stream, Bulgwangcheon, and Nokbeoncheon, are receiving attention and affection from local residents due to their natural environment and water-friendly and usage functions. Unlike existing public forums, these forums will conduct perception surveys on rivers and continue discussions on river preservation and use, contemplating and nurturing them together with residents.

An official from Eunpyeong-gu stated, "Through the 2020 Eunpyeong River Forum, we hope to recognize the importance of river ecosystems and carefully examine the impact of urban rivers on life, serving as an opportunity to establish appropriate and balanced plans for sustainable river preservation and use," expressing the aspirations of Eunpyeong as a historic, cultural, and ecological city.
