Improvement of Gyeongbokgung Palace Visitor Facilities with Eco-Friendly Features

On the 15th, the Gyeongbokgung Management Office and POSCO Steel Sheet signed a business agreement to implement the 2050 carbon-neutral society strategy. They will create a barrier-free viewing environment to improve convenience facilities for Gyeongbokgung visitors and support socially vulnerable groups. The viewing convenience facilities will be improved to be low-carbon and eco-friendly, and a barrier-free tourism environment will be created for the visually impaired. The management office explained, "We will attach thin embossed steel plates onto the frames of nine aging comprehensive information boards," adding, "This method minimizes carbon emissions and reduces maintenance costs." They further stated, "Starting next year, we plan to conduct a trial installation of lighting using low-power solar modules so that the information boards can be read even at night." The two organizations will also produce and install braille comprehensive information boards utilizing tactile maps. This aims to help visually impaired visitors easily understand the viewing routes and freely enjoy their visit.
