Check the No-Smoking Zone in Gwangjin-gu with QR Code

QR Code with No-Smoking Zone Information Attached to No-Smoking Sign... Easily Check the Range of No-Smoking Areas

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is launching a ‘No Smoking Sign QR Code Service’ that allows people to check no-smoking zones via their smartphones.

Although no-smoking areas can be identified through no-smoking signs or the Gwangjin No Smoking Safety Map app, it has been difficult to easily determine the exact boundaries of these zones.

Accordingly, the Gwangjin-gu Public Health Center has attached QR codes containing a ‘No Smoking Zone Information Page’ to no-smoking signs, enabling residents to conveniently check the extent of no-smoking areas.

When accessing the QR code, a map showing the user’s real-time location and the boundaries of the no-smoking zone appears. At the bottom of the map, information on no-smoking counseling phone numbers and no-smoking clinic programs is provided to facilitate access to support services for those willing to quit smoking.

Currently, 26 no-smoking signs with QR codes have been installed, including 17 signs around school commuting routes such as Gwangnam Middle School, Daewon High School, and Jayang Elementary School; 9 signs in areas such as the Techno Mart to Gwangnam High School section, the front sidewalk of Dong Seoul Terminal, and the passageway of Jayang Traditional Market. This will be gradually expanded.

District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho stated, “By utilizing QR codes, anyone can easily verify the precise location information of no-smoking zones,” and added, “We will continue to develop various no-smoking policies to create a healthy and clean Gwangjin-gu.”

Meanwhile, there are currently a total of 9,647 no-smoking zones in Gwangjin-gu. The district is expanding no-smoking areas annually through thorough field surveys and reviews. In September this year, the walking paths around the district riverside (station) and the school commuting routes near Sinja Elementary School are scheduled to be designated as no-smoking zones.
