[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) has launched a wall greening project for indoor purification at local daycare centers amid severe fine dust and COVID-19 conditions, which have made outdoor activities sensitive for children these days.

In April, the district conducted on-site surveys to select sites for the indoor wall greening project at 24 daycare centers in the area, and considering growth environments and management conditions of the daycare centers, a total of eight private and public daycare centers were selected.

The district plans to plant growing plants on the indoor walls of the selected daycare centers between June and July.

The installed indoor wall gardens help reduce fine dust and gaseous pollutants (carbon dioxide absorption and removal effect of 1.126 kg/㎡·year), regulate temperature and humidity, thereby reducing the use of heating and cooling devices and contributing to greenhouse gas reduction.

Additionally, the nature-friendly interior effect helps children’s emotional stability and psychological development.

Meanwhile, Dobong-gu continues steady management and monitoring of the existing indoor wall greening facilities. In February and March, to monitor the indoor wall greening facilities created under the 2020 cooperative agenda 'Fine Dust Improvement Project for Vulnerable Health Groups' and 'Fine Dust Reduction Special Project,' an inspection team was formed from the cooperative Domino ('Do'bong 'Mi'se dust 'NO') instructor group. They checked the maintenance status of ▲vegetation boards ▲greening plants ▲measuring equipment ▲fine dust ▲water tanks, and provided education to facility personnel and carried out repairs where management was insufficient.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “Our district’s regional customized fine dust reduction project ‘Domino’ (‘Do’bong-gu ‘Mi’se dust ‘NO’) was selected in the ‘2021 Fine Dust Reduction Special Project for Autonomous Districts’ contest hosted by Seoul City, receiving a city subsidy of 60 million won. This project is being promoted as part of that effort, and Dobong-gu will continue to implement life-centered reduction projects to create an environment where residents can breathe safely.”
