Gwangju Dong-gu, Installation of 'Unmanned Parcel Lockers' Near Jiwon 3-dong Administrative Welfare Center

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 8th that it will additionally install a 'Women’s Safety Parcel Locker' near the Jiwon 3-dong Administrative Welfare Center.

Currently, Dong-gu has installed and operates parcel lockers at four locations: ▲ Dong-gu National Sports Center ▲ Seonam-dong Administrative Welfare Center ▲ Pureunmaeul Community Center ▲ Jisan 2-dong Administrative Welfare Center.

When installed in June last year, the usage was only about 80 times, but it has increased about fourfold in one year, surpassing 300 times.

The 'Women’s Safety Parcel Locker,' operated for the convenience of single-person households and dual-income couples, is receiving high praise from residents.

The Women’s Safety Parcel Locker allows single-person households or dual-income couples who have difficulty receiving parcels to designate a convenient parcel locker as the delivery destination when purchasing goods.

The operation method is that the delivery company stores the item in the parcel locker, inputs the recipient’s contact information, and then an authentication number is sent. The user visits the locker to pick up the item. This method is welcomed as a new non-face-to-face parcel receiving method in the era of daily life during COVID-19.

Mayor Im Taek of Dong-gu said, “The Women’s Safety Parcel Locker installed this time is especially placed in areas with many detached houses, which will enhance the convenience for residents,” and added, “We will continue to increase the installation locations so that not only women but all residents can use it conveniently and safely.”
