Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju "Feel Safe Using Public Restrooms"

New 'Safe Restrooms' Built on Major Walking Trails... Support for Improving Private Public Restrooms

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is promoting the construction of public restrooms where citizens can use frequently visited walking trails and parks without worrying about crime.

According to Gwangsan-gu on the 8th, the new construction sites include a total of eight locations: four parks such as Yeoksan Neighborhood Park, and four walking trails including the Pungyeongjeong Streamside and Metasequoia Road in Sinchon-dong.

All newly built public restrooms will be equipped with safety devices such as emergency bells and safety screens to prevent crime.

In addition, four privately opened restrooms will be selected to support the improvement of aging facilities.

This public restroom construction project was promoted to resolve the inconvenience citizens face due to a lack of restrooms while using parks and walking trails.

The district decided to expand public restrooms with a budget of 1.1 billion won, considering the increasing number of citizens participating in walking activities centered on ‘Walking to Happiness Gwangsan,’ which was promoted to enhance citizens' immunity.

Earlier in January, a public restroom was completed at Hwangryonggang Waterside Park.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “We will continue to strive to provide a safe and pleasant environment for residents using parks and walking trails.”
