[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseong Hoon) held a "Mid-term Report Meeting on Alley Commercial District Revitalization Project" at 5 p.m. on the 4th at the Lifelong Learning Center of the district office, attended by the Doksan 4-dong Matnaneun Street Merchants' Association, Chung-Ang University Industry-Academic Cooperation Group, and others.

Earlier, the district started a service project in November last year to implement the "Alley Commercial District Revitalization Project" to revive the local commercial district, which had been depressed due to COVID-19.

At the meeting, Chung-Ang University Industry-Academic Cooperation Group presented an analysis of the local alley commercial district and proposed revitalization measures such as valet parking for traditional markets, opening star stores to strengthen merchant capabilities, and designating safe restaurants as excellent quarantine establishments.

Professor Inseon Park of Chung-Ang University cited the establishment of a governance merchants' association, securing convenient parking alternatives, and strengthening promotional marketing as implications for alley commercial district revitalization.

Kim Hyunseon Design Institute presented design improvement plans to make three alley commercial districts?Doksan 4-dong Matnaneun Street, Siheung 4-dong, and Doksan 1-dong?into hot places reflecting local characteristics, including gate design and sign lighting signs expressing the identity of Doksan 4-dong Matnaneun Street as a wordmark, and art interior projects in Siheung 4-dong and Doksan 1-dong.

Following this, discussions were held with merchants' association officials. The district plans to reflect merchants' opinions in the service content and prepare specific measures for alley commercial district revitalization by April.

Geumcheon-gu Mayor Yuseong Hoon said, "Geumcheon-gu is a place where G-Valley, traditional markets, shopping streets, and alley commercial districts coexist," adding, "We will actively promote the alley commercial district revitalization project so that it can serve as a cornerstone to revive the local economy depressed by COVID-19."
