[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yudonggyun) won the ‘Encouragement Award’ in the innovation policy category of the ‘2020 Second Half Seoul Creativity Awards’ hosted by Seoul City for improving the enforcement work of parking spaces exclusively for the disabled.

The Seoul Creativity Awards are given by Seoul City to proposals or projects that contribute to resolving residents’ inconveniences and enhancing convenience through new ideas or business initiatives.

The district earned this honor by being recognized for its efforts and achievements in addressing issues in the enforcement and management of parking spaces exclusively for the disabled through the project titled ‘Efficiency UP, Complaints DOWN: Improvement of Violation Handling for Disabled-Only Parking Spaces.’

The ‘Efficiency UP, Complaints DOWN: Improvement of Violation Handling for Disabled-Only Parking Spaces’ project includes various initiatives to solve overall problems, such as ▲ installing an unmanned enforcement system using the Internet of Things (IoT) in areas with frequent complaints ▲ establishing the first integrated fine imposition management system in Seoul for rapid processing ▲ hiring dedicated personnel to secure administrative expertise ▲ and forming an opinion statement review committee for fair administrative processing.

Currently, the results are becoming visible, making the project a benchmarking target for Seoul City and other autonomous districts, leading to its sharing and expansion.

In particular, the unmanned enforcement system using IoT has shown a significant effect in preventing illegal parking in disabled-only parking spaces by detecting when a general vehicle attempts to park and activating warning lights and broadcasts.

Also, the integrated fine imposition management system, the first of its kind established by the district in Seoul, is a one-stop system that handles everything from vehicle registration checks to fine imposition for vehicles violating disabled-only parking spaces. Using this system allows for systematic management of violating vehicles and rapid processing of fine imposition tasks.

Yudonggyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “Mapo-gu is conducting proactive and preemptive administration based on innovative administrative capabilities, aiming to be either the best or the first. I am pleased that our employees’ active efforts to improve work have been externally recognized through this Seoul Creativity Award. Going forward, the district will continuously contemplate and consider what more can be done for our residents.”
