[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The ‘Gongseong-myeon Community Center Outdoor Public Restroom Installation Project’ in Sangju-si, Gyeongbuk, has been finally selected for Gyeongsangbuk-do’s ‘2022 Provincial Subsidy Public Restroom Installation Project’ contest.

The ‘2022 Provincial Subsidy Public Restroom Installation Project’ is a project aimed at installing clean and pleasant public restrooms to provide convenience to users of the community center and outdoor sports facilities.

The city will carry out the project at 211 Oksan-ri, Gongseong-myeon, in front of the Gongseong-myeon Community Center, investing 100 million KRW, with construction starting in January next year and completion planned for October.

Two-way emergency bells for crime prevention, safety screens, diaper changing stations, and other facilities will be installed, and a barrier-free restroom will be created to obtain BF (Barrier Free) certification.

BF certification is the ‘Barrier-Free Living Environment Certification System,’ where a credible institution evaluates and certifies whether planning, design, construction, and management are carried out so that children, the elderly, disabled, pregnant women, and others do not experience inconvenience when accessing or using individual facilities or areas.

Hwang Insu, head of the Environmental Management Division, said, “We are very pleased to be selected for next year’s provincial subsidy public restroom installation project,” and added, “Since it is a restroom used by the public, we will do our best in hygiene and facility management.”
