From This Month to December, 'Illegal Advertisement Collection Reward Program' Implemented... Recruitment of 30 Participants Completed... Contributing to Resident Job Creation and Income Increase... Striving to Create a Safe and Pleasant Street Environment

Last year, illegal advertisements were removed to create a clean urban environment.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) is implementing the 'Illegal Advertisement Collection Reward System' from this month until December to create a pleasant urban environment.

The 'Illegal Advertisement Collection Reward System' is a program where residents directly collect and submit illegal mobile advertisements (posters, banners, etc.) and receive rewards accordingly.

First launched in 2015, the collection reward system is now in its 7th year. Together with about 125 inspectors, it has collected 1,579,785 cases of illegal mobile advertisements, achieving both urban aesthetics improvement and job creation through employment opportunities.

The district secured a budget of about 55 million won this year and completed recruiting 30 participants last month.

Selected inspectors can receive a reward of up to 3 million won per person per month based on their performance after completing designated training.

The reward standards are 1,000 to 2,000 won per banner and 20 to 50 won per poster depending on size. However, illegal advertisements collected outside Dongjak-gu are excluded from the reward.

Moon Youngsam, Director of the Street Administration Division, said, "Through this resident participation reward system, we will promote awareness of proper advertising culture and create a pleasant urban and street environment through efficient maintenance."

Meanwhile, to create a safe and pleasant street environment, the district has formed a dedicated team consisting of four full-time public officials, three fixed-term workers, and two public workers in addition to the illegal advertisement collection inspectors, and continues regular inspections on weekdays.
