Creation of 'Singgeulbungeul Sarangbang' for Single-Person Households in Seongbuk-gu

Seongbuk-gu Establishes Multifunctional Communication and Relaxation Space for Single-Person Households... Expanding Social Networks and Supporting Community Activities

Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) announced that, with support from the Seoul Metropolitan Government, it will operate the communication space for single-person households called ‘Singgeulbungeul Sarangbang’ starting this month by utilizing the unused space at Wolgok Comprehensive Social Welfare Center (Director Lee Byung-jun).

Singgeulbungeul Sarangbang provides a resting and communication space for single-person households in Seongbuk-gu, aiming to improve the quality of life for isolated households and prevent feelings of isolation and loneliness that single-person households may experience.

Recently, the number of single-person households has been increasing across various generations, including not only young adults but also middle-aged groups. Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, many single-person households still have limited opportunities to interact with others. Seongbuk-gu has created an open and comfortable atmosphere in Singgeulbungeul Sarangbang so that residents visiting the space can communicate, interact, and relax with their neighbors.

The programs to be operated include ▲‘Warm Table,’ a cooking program for middle-aged single-person households needing dietary support ▲‘Cheongbaji,’ a customized community activity for young single-person households at risk of isolation ▲one-day coffee classes ▲hobby club activities, and other activities that help residents communicate with neighbors and develop their capabilities.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, “By creating a community space for single-person households, we hope to alleviate feelings of isolation and further activate intergenerational exchange and resident networks. We will keep the doors wide open for single-person household residents in Seongbuk-gu, so please feel free to visit whenever you need rest, miss human contact, or need someone to talk to.” He encouraged many visits.

The single-person household communication space ‘Singgeulbungeul Sarangbang’ is located on the 2nd floor of Wolgok Comprehensive Social Welfare Center (23 Opaesan-ro 16-gil, Seongbuk-gu). The operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
