Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is supporting the installation of customized ramps at small-scale, community-based businesses to enhance convenience for mobility-restricted individuals.


Since last year, the district has been promoting a ramp installation support project to enable easier access to small-scale daily convenience facilities such as convenience stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and cafes.


A total of 143 ramps were installed last year, and this year, ramps will be additionally installed at around 50 locations.


The installation targets are small-scale community-based businesses with a total floor area of 300㎡ or less, and customized ramps worth approximately 700,000 KRW are produced and provided free of charge.


It is expected that accessibility will improve for wheelchair users, seniors, pregnant women, and other mobility-restricted individuals who previously had difficulty due to high thresholds or stairs at entrances.


Businesses wishing to apply can contact the Gwangjin-gu Disability Convenience Promotion Technical Support Center by September 27.


After installation, the district plans to focus on facility maintenance through a ‘business owner satisfaction survey’ and by providing ‘free repair services for three years.’



Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “We hope that the ramp installation support project will gradually alleviate the inconveniences faced by mobility-restricted individuals,” and added, “We will create a Gwangjin-gu where all residents can live without inconvenience.”
