Gwangju Seo-gu, Yang 3-dong's Sixth 'Safe Alley' Established

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, has designated the alleys of Yang 3-dong as the sixth ‘Safe Alley.’

According to Seo-gu on the 21st, the district office, the Yang 3-dong Residents’ Autonomy Committee, and the Gwangju Western Police Station held the ‘Yang 3-dong Together Creating a Happy Our Alley Performance Report Meeting’ on the 17th.

The performance report meeting was attended by local residents and proceeded in the order of a ceremonial event, unveiling of the Safe Women-Friendly Village nameplate, and walking through Our Alley.

‘Yang 3-dong Together Creating a Happy Our Alley’ is a project jointly promoted by Seo-gu and the Yang 3-dong Residents’ Autonomy Committee, which was selected in March through a contest to create a safe women-friendly village.

The newly selected ‘Alley around Yangdong-ro 25beon-gil’ is a narrow and steep area that was developed into a safe alley through resident briefings, safety capacity training, and idea workshops.

In particular, the ‘CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) technique’ was applied to help prevent crimes that could occur in the alley.

Meanwhile, the women and children safe Our Alley project promoted this time is the sixth safe women-friendly village, starting with the Hwajeong 3-dong Safe Alley established in 2015.

A Seo-gu official said, “We will continue to discover and improve vulnerable villages to safety so that all residents can live with peace of mind in Seo-gu.”
