Lee Jae-myung: "Use of Public Goods Such as Gyeonggi-do Sports Facilities and Auditoriums Will Become Much Easier"

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, announced that a system allowing 13.8 million residents of Gyeonggi Province to use sports facilities, auditoriums, and event halls within the province with a single payment will be established, and the service will be expanded to 31 cities and counties.

On the 18th, Governor Lee posted on Facebook under the title "Sports Facilities, Event Halls, Auditoriums in Gyeonggi Province... Reservation and Payment in One Go," stating, "We will expand the Gyeonggi Shared Service to 31 cities and counties by the end of this year, opening facilities managed by the province and its affiliated public institutions so that any resident can conveniently use them."

Gyeonggi Province has built an online reservation service called 'Gyeonggi Shared Service,' which allows users to search for shared facilities such as sports facilities, event halls, and auditoriums within the province and make reservations and payments online, but the service has been operated on a limited basis. The province explained that it plans to expand this service.

Previously, in March 2019, at an expanded executive meeting, Governor Lee emphasized, "While building many public facilities is important, making full use of existing facilities helps residents' welfare without additional budget," and urged, "Please open up facilities managed by the province or its affiliated public institutions for use as meeting places, event venues, and more."

Regarding the expansion of this system, Governor Lee expressed expectations, saying, "Since the reservation systems that were previously handled by phone or in-person visits and scattered across cities and counties will all be integrated, residents will be able to use the facilities more conveniently."

He particularly introduced, "We provide 360-degree VR panoramic videos so that facilities can be easily checked without visiting in person, and support responsive web design so that the same service can be used on mobile phones and tablet PCs. Based on maps, the location of facilities is provided to inform users of the nearest facility."

Governor Lee said, "I believe that the expansion of the Gyeonggi Shared Service will help enhance residents' rights and promote welfare," and promised, "Gyeonggi Province will continue to do its best so that residents can freely use and conveniently enjoy the public resources of Gyeonggi Province."
