[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) announced on the 11th that the Seoro 西路 Ieum Social Value Support Center will operate the ‘Ieum Nanumteo’ to spread the culture of sharing in the public sector and reduce the use of disposable products.

Seo-gu currently operates three item-sharing centers (Hwajeong 2-dong, Dongcheon-dong, Seoro 西路 Ieum Social Value Support Center) to promote sharing.

These sharing centers are equipped with various shared items such as camping, leisure, tools, event equipment, and children’s products, providing convenience through sharing services by lending them to residents in need.

‘Ieum Nanumteo’ is a place where reusable items needed for meetings or training of each department of Seo-gu Office are stocked and shared among departments for commonly needed items. It was established to lead the reduction of disposable product use in public institutions and to save budgets that are repeatedly spent.

Departments that need items for various meetings or events can check the rental schedule in advance and share them. The items will be continuously added through periodic demand surveys.

A Seo-gu official said, “We expect that the activation of the item-sharing centers and Ieum Nanumteo will contribute to improving residents’ quality of life and establishing a sharing culture through various public resource sharing services,” adding, “We will continue to make efforts to raise awareness of a sharing culture closely connected to daily life.”
