Gyeonggi-do Continues Strong Measures to Eradicate Illegal Activities in Clean Valleys

Operation of Final Inspection Team Until the End of September
Next Year, Review of Mobile 'QR Code Reporting'

Measures to Address 'Illegal Activities in Pristine Valleys' [Gyeonggi-do]

[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Following the special inspection of clean valleys during the summer vacation season, Gyeonggi-do has decided to continue implementing high-intensity countermeasures until September to eradicate illegal activities.

Gyeonggi-do announced on the 6th, "After completing the special inspections during the peak vacation months of July and August, we will operate a 'final inspection team' twice a week for about a month until the 30th."

The final inspections will focus on riverbank litter and damaged facilities to reconfirm issues and ensure that the clean valleys remain free of even small illegal structures.

They are also currently reviewing, in cooperation with cities and counties, plans to newly expand 20 convenience facilities such as public access roads, stairs, and temporary restrooms.

The province is also planning to develop and operate a '(tentative name) Clean Valley Illegal Activity Resident Voluntary Reporting System' using mobile QR codes.

This plan aims to strengthen the monitoring network by enabling reports of illegal facilities and activities in rivers and valleys via QR codes even during times and in places where inspections and crackdowns are not conducted.

Previously, the province operated 11 'special inspection teams' led by the Deputy Governor for Administration 2 and including officials from the Northern Office, detecting 36 illegal activities in 13 major valleys across 9 cities and counties with many visitors, such as Baegun Valley in Pocheon and Jangheung Valley in Yangju, resulting in demolition and restoration measures.

Ryu In-kwon, Director of the Balanced Development Planning Office, said, "For sustainable clean valleys, next year we plan to prepare various methods such as a resident community consignment management system, a visitor QR code reporting system, and improvements to the river valley guardian function."
