[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) was selected as an excellent autonomous district for two consecutive years in this year's outdoor advertising work evaluation conducted for five autonomous districts in Gwangju.

According to Seo-gu on the 23rd, this evaluation was conducted across 12 items divided into three areas: illegal advertising maintenance and administrative disposition performance, and fund creation, covering the overall outdoor advertising work.

Seo-gu has systematically promoted overall advertising management, including ▲ maintenance of streetlight banners ▲ maintenance project for ownerless old signboards ▲ implementation of the outdoor advertising pre-approval system ▲ safety inspection of outdoor advertisements against wind and flood damage ▲ establishment of an outdoor fixed advertising information management system.

In addition, by operating a telephone warning transmission system to prevent the occurrence of new illegal advertisements and implementing a collection reward system at key points, related complaints have noticeably decreased.

In particular, Seo-gu received high scores in this evaluation by operating a crackdown team 365 days a year without exception on weekends, holidays, and day and night to eradicate illegal advertisements such as banners.

A Seo-gu official said, “We plan to systematically manage not only illegal advertisements such as banners that damage the cityscape and seriously threaten citizens' walking safety but also outdoor advertisements such as signboards. We will do our best to create a clean and safe people-centered Seo-gu.”
