[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) conducted a comprehensive survey of the locations of 135 closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs) installed to crack down on illegal parking and publicly disclosed them on the "Smart Seongdong Map," allowing anyone to find them at a glance.


Since 2000, over 130 parking enforcement CCTVs have been installed to monitor illegal parking, but there have been many cases where the actual installation locations differed from the official records, and residents had no materials to easily identify their locations, causing inconvenience in handling complaints.


Accordingly, the district began to identify the locations and status of all CCTVs in the area. Utilizing internal personnel, the district started a full survey in July, conducting on-site investigations not only of CCTVs but also of three other major facilities for parking management: "portable no-parking signs," "parking enforcement notice placards," and "parking enforcement service vehicles," covering a total of four categories.


As a result, insurance coverage for 566 portable no-parking signs, which had been difficult to insure due to unclear locations, was completed, enabling systematic and efficient management tailored to the characteristics of each area for all facilities.


A district official said, "To save costs, we used internal personnel instead of external contractors to visit every site directly and conduct on-site surveys. The insurance enrollment for portable no-parking signs is the first among Seoul's autonomous districts, and a plan has been established to compensate residents who suffer damages from unexpected collisions with the signs."


Additionally, the locations of the 135 CCTVs identified through this survey can be viewed at a glance on the Seongdong-gu website's "Smart Seongdong Map."



Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, "With the surge in parking complaints, parking enforcement facilities had been haphazardly increased, but this survey has enabled systematic management and supervision. We will do our best to establish proper parking order by strategically placing and utilizing parking enforcement facilities such as CCTVs so that residents do not suffer inconvenience from illegal parking."
