Yongin City to Greatly Expand Community-Based Projects

Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin City, is presiding over a mid-term review meeting of community-based promotion projects at the executive meeting held on the 7th.

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province is expanding its well-received community-oriented projects.

On the 11th, Yongin City announced that it has newly identified a total of 71 projects this year, of which 46 have been completed and 25 projects will be implemented starting this month.

The community-oriented projects currently completed by Yongin include the operation of small electric street cleaning vehicles, the introduction of variable lanes at Yongin University Entrance Intersection, implementation of a book drive-thru, and the expansion and operation of Yongin Citizen Farm.

The 25 projects to be implemented from this month as planned include the pilot operation of electric carts for street cleaning, establishment of an emergency text alert system for water supply incidents, and creation of dedicated parking facilities for shared electric kickboards.

The emergency text alert system for water supply incidents project involves building a system that provides text notifications in case of water outages or turbidity caused by emergency waterworks. The focus is on quickly delivering information to citizens to minimize inconvenience in daily life.

The dedicated parking facilities project for shared electric kickboards aims to reduce citizen inconvenience caused by indiscriminate parking of electric kickboards and to create a safe walking environment by installing 200 docking (charging) parking stations. The system will be installed by the end of this month and the service will launch next month.

On the 7th, Mayor Lee Sang-il of Yongin presided over a meeting with senior officials to conduct a mid-term review of the newly launched community-oriented projects for citizens this year.

At the meeting, Mayor Lee said, "Please expand projects that have received positive responses and supplement any shortcomings to implement the projects effectively. Since the cases from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s local government innovation performance dissemination support contest are recognized as excellent innovation cases by the government, I ask you to actively consider adopting them in our city. I also urge all staff to take an interest in excellent cases of proactive administration and those from other local governments."
