Seongdong-gu Creates 'Space for Everyone' at Hanyang Square

New Community Space Open to Everyone Created in Hanyang Plaza Near Hanyang University Hospital Intersection

Pilot Operation with Two Spaces: a 4-Person Room and an 8-Person Room to Collect Feedback and Make Improvements

Seongdong-gu (District Mayor Jung Won-oh) has newly established a community space called ‘Modu-ui Gonggan’ (Everyone's Space) in Hanyang Plaza, accessible to everyone.

‘Modu-ui Gonggan’ is located in Hanyang Plaza, from the Hanyang University Hospital intersection toward Wangsimni Station, and is a community space freely available to all. It has a total floor area of 30㎡ and consists of two rooms: one for 4 people and one for 8 people. These two spaces can also be combined and used as one.

The interior is equipped with computers, a beam projector, and sound equipment, and operates with an unmanned system. It can be used for various purposes such as resident meetings, group activities, and small-scale events. Space reservations can be made through the ‘Seongdong-gu Modu-ui Gonggan’ app.

In the past, Hanyang Plaza, located along a main road, was a space with relatively few users. The district conducted a survey targeting residents to explore ways to utilize the space.

According to the survey results, awareness of Hanyang Plaza was relatively low, and many respondents expressed a desire for rest areas or resident convenience facilities.

Accordingly, Seongdong-gu decided to create a community space that could revitalize the area and provide convenience, completing construction at the end of June. The district plans to conduct a pilot operation until September to listen to users’ inconveniences and suggestions for improvement and make necessary adjustments.

A district official stated, “Although it is a shared space, it operates with an unmanned system, so we hope users will follow the rules and keep the facilities clean.”

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “By utilizing Hanyang Plaza’s ‘Modu-ui Gonggan,’ residents will be able to participate and engage in various activities,” adding, “We hope that such community facilities will further spread the culture of sharing and community in the local society.”
