Creation of 'Odor Reduction Specialized Street' in Gwanak-gu Haengun-dong Food Alley

Gwanak-gu Haengun-dong Food Alley Established as the Nation's First Odor Reduction Specialized Street

Haengun-dong Food Alley Solely Selected in Seoul City Contest, Created as the Nation's First Odor Reduction Specialized Street

Odor Reduction Devices Installed at 20 Direct-Grill Restaurants, Maintenance Support and Customized Consulting Provided for Each Business

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is transforming Haengun-dong Food Alley into an odor reduction specialized street to create a clean alley commercial district.

The district was the only autonomous district selected in the odor reduction specialized street contest hosted by Seoul City, and will install up to three odor reduction devices per business at 20 restaurants in Haengun-dong Food Alley.

Additionally, to ensure continuous odor reduction, maintenance costs for the odor reduction devices will be supported at 300,000 to 500,000 KRW per month for three years.

Using the odor reduction devices can reduce complex odors generated during food preparation by up to 63% and dust by up to 85%, significantly decreasing smells and dust in the food alley where direct-grill restaurants are concentrated.

Customized consulting for odor reduction will also be provided for each business, and the results of odor improvement analysis by the Seoul Institute of Health and Environment Research will be reviewed and reflected.

The district expects to attract more customers to the commercial area by creating a pleasant alley commercial district through this project.

A district official stated, “Through the nation’s first odor reduction specialized street project, we will strive to create a clean and odor-free alley commercial district,” and added, “We will continue to proactively implement various projects to provide residents with a clean living environment.”
