[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has produced and installed QR code-linked etiquette signs to improve alley disorder in the Jayang 4-dong area as part of the Life Safety Design project.


The 'Life Safety Design project' aims to create cleaner and safer neighborhoods by deterring criminal psychology through design, improving residential environments, and revitalizing community activities among residents.


The Jayang 4-dong area, home to Yangkkochi Street, is a neighborhood where Korean and Chinese cultures coexist, and there have been conflicts among neighbors due to cultural differences such as illegal dumping, smoking, and noise disturbances.


To address this, the district installed alley etiquette gobo lights in the residential area between Yangkkochi Street and Yeongdonggyo Market.


The main contents of the alley etiquette include ▲methods of disposing of different types of garbage ▲garbage collection schedules by dong ▲penalties for illegal dumping (fines) ▲smoking etiquette and fine imposition ▲and other daily manners.


Additionally, the QR codes are linked so that scanning them with a mobile phone provides more detailed administrative information, which is also available in Chinese.


This reflects the lifestyle and cultural background of Chinese residents, for whom QR code usage is widespread, and is a customized design reflecting the characteristics of Jayang 4-dong, where many Chinese residents live.



Furthermore, to enhance the effectiveness of the project, the district plans to distribute guidebooks printed with etiquette QR codes at community centers in areas with many foreigners, providing them during foreigner registration card issuance and moving-in notifications.
