[Haenam=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jeonnam Haenam-gun announced on the 31st that it has been selected for the 2023 Climate Change Vulnerable Groups and Regional Support Local Government Ministry of Environment Public Contest Project, securing a total project cost of 200 million KRW, including 100 million KRW in national funds.

This public contest project aims to create water circulation-type waterfront spaces equipped with foot soaking facilities in parks and plazas with high heatwave density, allowing residents to use them.

The county will install two foot soaking facilities of 36㎡ each, along with shade shelters, near the floor fountain in Gocheonam Natural Ecological Park, Hwangsan-myeon, by May next year.

Gocheonam Natural Ecological Park, equipped with a floor fountain and foot bath, has become popular as an ecological playground, attracting about 5,000 children during this summer.

A county official stated, "By additionally installing foot soaking facilities next year, it will help create a nature-friendly resting place where children and residents can safely relax and also strengthen climate change adaptability."
