Daejeon City Implements Comprehensive Chuseok Holiday Plan with '8 Sectors and 67 Policies'

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is establishing and implementing a comprehensive plan for the Chuseok holiday period.

According to the city on the 30th, the comprehensive plan consists of 67 policies across 8 areas, including stabilization of low-income households, resolution of daily inconveniences, citizen safety, and environmental maintenance.

To ensure the effective implementation of the comprehensive plan, the city will deploy 433 personnel across 8 teams, including traffic and cleaning task forces, for on-duty work during the holiday period. Additionally, to respond to COVID-19, an epidemiological investigation team composed of 136 members across 28 teams will operate on a full-time basis.

As part of the measures to stabilize low-income households, a joint inspection team for local prices will be formed to encourage the expansion of supply volumes of essential goods. Fifteen key essential goods will be designated for daily inspections.

Furthermore, visits will be made to vulnerable groups and social welfare facilities, and protection measures for homeless people, including those living in small rooms, will be prepared and implemented.

Special credit guarantees and financial support projects for financially marginalized individuals will also be promoted to protect small business owners. On October 7th and 8th, a direct transaction market for agricultural and specialty products will be opened and operated in the lobby on the first floor of Daejeon City Hall.

During the Chuseok holiday, the weekday car restriction system will be temporarily lifted, allowing participants who usually refrain from driving on designated days to freely operate their vehicles. From September 9th to 12th, parking will be permitted on roads around traditional markets, and public parking lots will be opened free of charge as part of the measures.

Daejeon Memorial Park, which had previously allowed visits only by advance reservation until the last holiday, will operate normally without holidays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the Chuseok holiday period.

The city plans to proceed without delay in preparations for creating a pleasant urban environment, including special inspections and maintenance of parks, green spaces, and illegal advertisements during the comprehensive plan period.

Garbage collection will be conducted early on September 9th and 10th due to shortened working hours of environmental management staff, and on the last day of the holiday, the 12th, normal operations will be maintained.

Daejeon Mayor Lee Jang-woo stated, “We will strive to ensure that citizens can spend the holiday safely and comfortably through the comprehensive holiday plan.”
