Gyeonggi-do Creates 'Malgeunsumteo' in Small Facilities for Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi-do is launching a project to improve indoor air quality by creating 300 clean breathing spaces in small-scale facilities used by vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and people with disabilities who live in polluted indoor environments.

On the 2nd, Gyeonggi-do announced that it will invest a total budget of 1.5 billion KRW this year to carry out indoor air quality improvement and equipment support projects worth up to 5 million KRW for small-scale daycare centers, senior centers, and local children's centers.

The province started the Clean Breathing Space project in 2016 in collaboration with private companies, secured its own budget from 2018, and is currently implementing the project with full provincial funding.

Supported items include eco-friendly wallpaper and flooring, painting, entrance coil mats, and kitchen hoods.

The province customizes the installation of support facilities according to the opinions of beneficiaries for each facility. In particular, it plans to enhance beneficiary satisfaction by providing after-sales service (AS) for up to one year for the supported items.

A provincial official stated, "We plan to further expand the Clean Breathing Space project to protect the health of vulnerable groups who are in blind spots of management and to provide comfortable indoor air quality."
