Mokpo City Completes Creation of Public Restrooms with National Safety Green Initiative

Remodeling of 4 Public Restrooms and Installation of Crime Prevention Facilities at 64 Locations

[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that it has completed the National Safety Green Public Restroom project.

The city was selected for the National Safety Public Restroom contest project hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety last May, securing 100 million KRW in national funds to promote this project.

The "National Safety Green Public Restroom Creation Project" is aimed at protecting citizens from the increasing crimes in public restrooms while practicing carbon neutrality through energy saving.

From September to October, over two months, the city replaced sanitary fixtures with water-saving types and lighting with LED in four old public restrooms (in front of the Kim Dae-jung Nobel Peace Prize Memorial Hall, Bukhang Parking Lot, Bukhang Sunset Park, and in front of the Culture and Arts Center). Along with this, floor tiles were newly installed, and restroom partitions were replaced with new ones as part of remodeling.

Additionally, in cooperation with the Mokpo Police Station, safety screens and safety mirrors, which are crime prevention facilities, were installed in 64 public restrooms to create an environment where women vulnerable to crime can use the restrooms with peace of mind.

A city official stated, "We will continue to do our best to manage so that citizens can use public restrooms safely and comfortably."
