Gyeongnam Province Expands Issuance Criteria for Disabled Parking Permit in Designated Parking Zones

Addition and Concurrent Application of 'Comprehensive Survey Standards for Mobility Support Services'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongnam Province is expanding the issuance criteria for parking permits in disabled-only parking spaces by adding the "Comprehensive Mobility Support Service Survey Criteria" to the existing "Walking Disability Assessment Criteria."

To apply for the "Expansion of Convenience for Disabled Users in Disabled-Only Parking Spaces," applicants must visit the resident center of their registered address's eup/myeon/dong, confirm that they do not qualify as walking-disabled, and verify eligibility based on overlapping disabilities and vehicle conditions. Then, they must submit a diagnosis and opinion letter issued by a medical institution based on the Comprehensive Mobility Support Service Survey.

Meanwhile, "disabled-only parking spaces" are only available for vehicles displaying a valid parking permit and carrying a person with a walking disability or a disability meeting the Comprehensive Mobility Support Service score criteria. Violations will result in a fine of 100,000 KRW.

Lee Seon-gi, Director of the Provincial Disability Welfare Division, stated, "We will continue to actively strive to establish a demand-centered support system that considers the needs of disabled persons in a way that is tangibly felt."
