[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) recently completed the 'Crime Prevention Facility Expansion Project,' which has been promoted in collaboration with the Seodaemun Police Station since the beginning of this year to prevent crimes against women.

The target areas were selected focusing on women’s safe return routes with heavy foot traffic but few people at night, densely populated multi-family housing areas, surroundings of school routes, and places where security lighting is dim and the police have been strengthening flexible patrols.

To ensure the project was implemented appropriately, the Seodaemun-gu Office’s facility-related departments cooperated with the Seodaemun Police Station to analyze and survey crime-vulnerable points.

The district secured a special adjustment grant of 1 billion KRW and completed ▲ installation and performance improvement of crime prevention CCTV (67 locations) ▲ installation and upgrading of LED security lights (330 units) ▲ installation of logo projectors that project images and phrases onto the ground using lighting (5 locations).

In addition to installing new facilities, the district improved existing ones by upgrading old CCTV cameras to products with over 2 million pixels and replacing security light bulbs.

Moreover, the district has been promoting specialized projects such as supporting single-woman households with the ‘Safe Home 5-piece Set’ including auxiliary door keys, security window bars, window locks, door opening sensors, and portable emergency bells, and enabling resident participation groups to inspect public restrooms in the area to prevent illegal filming.

Furthermore, as part of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), the district installed road reflectors ("gil banjjaki") and expanded secure parcel lockers for contactless delivery to enhance women’s safety perception through various efforts.

CCTV for Security Purposes

Mayor Moon Seok-jin said, “The expansion of crime prevention facilities this time is expected to contribute to crime prevention by improving surrounding lighting and securing night visibility, thereby minimizing ‘crime blind spots.’ We will work even harder to make Seodaemun-gu a place where all residents, including women, can feel safe.”
