Assemblyman Heo Jong-sik "Starting CPTED Project for Old Seoninjaedan School Route and Incheon National University Jemulpo Campus"

Meeting with Incheon Police Agency, Crime Prevention Facility Project Plan Confirmed

A Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) project will be implemented in the area of the former Seonin Foundation and the Incheon National University Jemulpo Campus site in Dohwa District, Michuhol-gu, Incheon.

On the 19th, Heo Jong-sik, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea representing Dong-gu and Michuhol-gu Gap in Incheon, held a meeting at the Michuhol-gu local office with the Crime Prevention Officer (CPO) teams from the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency and Michuhol Police Station. They finalized the crime prevention facility project plan for the main school routes around the former Seonin Foundation and Incheon National University Jemulpo Campus site, and announced that design and construction will be completed by September.

The total project cost is 75 million KRW, with the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency and POSCO A&C investing 20 million KRW and 50 million KRW respectively, and GS Construction providing in-kind support worth 5 million KRW. There are four project sites in total. At Sukkol-ro 135beon-gil, which connects the north side main building of Incheon National University and Incheon Electronic Meister High School, closed building access control and improvements were identified as necessary, so design fences and pocket parks will be created.

Additionally, the path between the main building of Incheon National University and the large stadium is a low-illumination area, raising concerns about crime blind spots. Therefore, logo projectors, solar markers, and auxiliary lighting will be installed at the entrances. On the site between Cheongundae Incheon Campus and the Seongri Building of Incheon National University, where there is foot traffic such as dog walking, design lighting featuring Poseokho (POSCO’s mascot) and themed facilities will be established.

The main school routes for students of Seonin High School, Inhwa Girls’ Middle and High School, and Seonhwa Girls’ Middle School?whose land is being acquired by the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education?require improvements in traffic safety at the roundabout and low illumination issues. Reflectors, auxiliary lighting, and sensor-type logo projectors that warn of vehicle entry will be installed.

Representative Heo said, “The crime environment improvement project for the former Seonin Foundation school site will be a representative case of collaboration among the political sector, police, and private companies.” He added, “The Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education, which owns the school land, and Incheon National University should actively cooperate and promote follow-up environmental improvement projects to ensure the safety of students’ school routes and enable residents to use the area as parks, sports facilities, and walking trails.”
