Gwangju Nam-gu Creates 'Fine Dust Blocking Forest and Urban Wind Path Forest' in Hyochon 1 District
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] In Hyochon 1 District, Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae), a fine dust blocking forest and an urban wind path forest will be created respectively.
According to Nam-gu on the 25th, starting next month, construction of the fine dust blocking forest will begin in the buffer green zone between the Hyochon 1 District apartment complex and Hyochon Station.
A total budget of 500 million KRW will be invested in this project, and the area and length of the fine dust blocking forest will be about 13,000㎡ and approximately 1 km, respectively.
The construction is expected to be completed by the end of June.
At the same time, an urban wind path forest project will be carried out along Hyochon Road near Jungheung Eco City in Hyochon 1 District, heading toward Imjeong Village.
Nam-gu plans to complete the construction by the end of June with a project cost of 303 million KRW.
The background for creating the fine dust blocking forest here is that due to recent housing development projects, residential density has increased, and nearby there is an old industrial complex and National Road No. 1 connecting Gwangju City with adjacent cities and counties, resulting in large emissions of air pollution, noise, and fine dust from vehicle traffic.
Accordingly, Nam-gu plans to plant various trees and flowers that can absorb fine dust in the buffer green zone, including Ipap trees, Zelkova trees, large oak trees, crape myrtles, hackberry trees, cinnamon trees, and king cherry trees.
Also, along the walking paths created in some sections, various convenience facilities such as circular benches and swing benches made in a climbing form using palm walking mats and wood, backrest chairs, and natural stone slabs will be installed.
