[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Lee Eun-ju, Vice Chair of the Transportation Committee of the Seoul Metropolitan Council (Democratic Party, Nowon 2), attended the '2021 Korean Local Government Association Fall International Academic Conference' and presented as a representative of the Seoul Metropolitan Council on the topic of ‘Local Government Safety Management.’

Representing the Seoul Metropolitan Council at the academic conference, Lee provided a detailed explanation of the current issues and aging status related to elevator safety in Seoul in the field of ‘Local Government Safety Management.’

Since starting administrative audits in 2018, Lee has consistently shown interest in the safety of Seoul’s elevator convenience facilities by hosting a policy forum in August this year for the enactment of the ‘Ordinance on Elevator Safety Management in Seoul’ and enacting the ordinance in October.

In her presentation, Lee pointed out, “Elevator convenience facilities in Seoul are aging, but maintenance and management are insufficient,” and stated, “The ordinance was enacted to ensure efficient management of elevator convenience facilities used by many citizens.”

She also emphasized, “Safety can never be overemphasized,” and declared, “We will continue to make tireless efforts so that 10 million Seoul citizens can use these facilities safely and conveniently.”

The 2021 Korean Local Government Association Fall International Academic Conference was held on November 5 at the Saemaeul Geumgo Jeju Training Center in Jeju Island, hosted by the Korean Local Government Association and co-hosted by eight organizations including the Korea Local Finance Association and the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences.
