What is the First Resident-Felt Policy of the Year Shared by Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin District?

Introduced as Seoul's first 'Safe Accommodation' policy for families of home-treated patients... Selected common questions from residents answered in an easy and concise video under 3 minutes

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin District, is attracting attention by producing a YouTube video called ‘Policy Story’ that introduces practical projects beneficial to residents.

‘Policy Story’ is a dialogue-style YouTube content where an announcer asks questions that residents might be curious about regarding practical projects, and the district mayor answers.

This content has been produced since last year to communicate more closely with residents and is made within about 3 minutes to deliver information simply and concisely.

The first policy of this year was chosen as the ‘Safe Accommodation for Families of Home Treatment Patients’ project, which was the first to be implemented among Seoul’s autonomous districts.

Through the video, Mayor Kim introduced ▲an overall project overview ▲eligible users ▲advantages of the safe accommodation ▲location of the safe accommodation ▲application methods, etc.

The Gwangjin District safe accommodation is provided for families of home treatment patients and is operated completely free of charge for families of home treatment patients who have completed the second dose of vaccination and tested negative in a PCR test.

The accommodation is located in Junggok-dong and has a total of 24 rooms, including 3 family rooms, and does not accept general guests.

Residents wishing to use the facility can request it during the initial monitoring of family members in quarantine or apply by phone to the home treatment dedicated team, and can use it for up to 8 days.

The video produced this time can be viewed on the official Gwangjin District Office YouTube channel and the internet broadcasting station on the official website.

In the future, the district plans to continuously produce videos about new practical projects for residents launched this year, such as the ‘Gwangjin-gu Ttaenggeoyo,’ a kind delivery app that reduces commission fees for affiliated stores.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin District, said, “I wanted to meet residents directly and inform them about useful policies, but due to COVID-19 making face-to-face communication difficult, we produced the video. We made it simple and concise to resolve questions about new projects, and I hope it will be very helpful to all residents.”
