[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] “Enjoy the Anyangcheon Walking Event More Conveniently!”

Guro-gu District Office (Mayor Lee Seong) is launching a dedicated mobile application (app) for the ‘Anyangcheon Love Online Family Health Walking Event.’

On the 23rd, Guro-gu announced, “We have created the dedicated app ‘Anyangcheon Love Health Walking’ to allow residents to participate comfortably in the Anyangcheon Love Online Family Health Walking Event.”

Due to difficulties in holding the traditional ‘Anyangcheon Walking Competition’ amid COVID-19, Guro-gu switched to an online certification method last July and has been holding the event monthly.

The online Anyangcheon walking event allowed residents to visit Anyangcheon at their convenience, open the ‘Guro-gu Smart Tourism Electronic Map’ mobile webpage, and walk around the measurement points.

However, there was inconvenience when the smartphone screen turned off or when other apps were opened, causing the measurement point passage not to be certified.

To improve participant convenience, Guro-gu decided to develop a dedicated app, starting development with a professional company in September last year, and recently completed it.

The newly developed ‘Anyangcheon Love Health Walking’ app consists of five menus: ‘Home,’ ‘Walking,’ ‘QR Code Certification,’ ‘Entry,’ and ‘Winners,’ allowing users to view event information at a glance.

First, when visiting Anyangcheon and pressing the ‘Start Walking’ button in the ‘Walking’ menu, the current location is displayed, and event participation begins.

If automatic certification does not occur when passing measurement points, users can scan the QR code on the guide signboard through the ‘QR Code Certification’ menu to certify passage.

Participation in prize events is also possible through the ‘Entry’ and ‘Winners’ menus. After completing the walk, pressing the ‘Completion Achieved’ button in the entry menu generates an entry number, and after the prize draw date, users can check the winning results through the ‘Winners’ menu.

The ‘Anyangcheon Love Health Walking’ app will be distributed from the 25th via Google Play Store (for Android phones) and Apple App Store (for iPhones).

Guro-gu plans to operate the Anyangcheon Love Health Walking event in the existing method until the 28th of this month and will apply only the dedicated app starting March 1.

A Guro-gu official said, “We hope many residents participate in the walking event using the ‘Anyangcheon Love Health Walking’ app, enjoy the changed scenery of Anyangcheon, and take care of their health,” adding, “We will prepare various projects so that residents can enjoy leisure activities even amid COVID-19.”
