Yongsan-gu 'Women’s Safety Home Set' Application Now Open

Smart Doorbell, Double Lock for Front Door, Portable Emergency Bell Set of 3... Submissions via Email to Yongsan-gu Healthy Family & Multicultural Family Support Center 담당자

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seongjanghyun) is accepting applications for the "Women’s Safety Home Set" support until the 30th as part of the Women Single-Person Household Safety Project.

The Women’s Safety Home Set consists of a smart doorbell, a double lock device for the front door, and a portable emergency bell set of three items.

The smart doorbell prevents residential intrusion crimes disguised as delivery personnel. Utilizing the CCTV installed on the doorbell and the home wireless internet (Wi-Fi), users can immediately check (and record) who is outside the door via their smartphone. Even when the homeowner is away, they can communicate with visitors through their smartphone.

The double lock device for the front door supplements the door lock with a latch type, preventing sudden intrusion by outsiders. The portable emergency bell is a device that can alert others of an emergency situation by sending an alarm sound or emergency message.

The support target for the three-item set is single-person households residing in Yongsan-gu (single-person households registered on the resident registration certificate) or legally recognized single-parent households, with a housing deposit (converted jeonse value) of 150 million KRW or less.

A district official stated, “Residents living in relatively safe environments such as apartments and homeowners are excluded from the support target,” and “In the case of single-parent households, there must be a female as the head of the household or a household member.”

Those who wish to receive the items can submit an application form via email to the Yongsan-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center contact (yongsanfc@nate.com).

The form is posted on the district office website’s news section and the Yongsan-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center website’s notice section.

A copy of the ID (with the back number deleted), a resident registration certificate issued within the last six months, a copy of the lease contract, and a single-parent family certificate (if applicable) must also be submitted.

Afterward, the district will select the support recipients (60 households) considering the applicant’s housing type. The selection results will be notified individually.

The applicant must bear the cost of post-support management after receiving the items.

Seongjanghyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “We are making various efforts so that women living alone in the area can live safely,” and “We will continue to uphold Yongsan’s reputation as the safest district.”

This year, the district also conducted the “Women Single-Person Household Home Security Service” in collaboration with LG Uplus. The IoT-based “Our Home Guardian Easy” product was installed in 99 women single-person households. Our Home Guardian Easy enables real-time video monitoring and recording, two-way voice communication, and detection of front door, room door, and window openings.

Additionally, the district plans to take the lead in alleviating women’s anxiety through various measures such as operating dedicated personnel for the Ansim-i app, violence prevention education at public institutions, women-friendly city projects, and installing safe alleyway signposts.
