Pohang City’s ‘Pocket Pohang’ service, which provides citizens with various policies and useful information through mobile notifications on their phones, is gaining popularity.

Mobile Pohang News Notifier Pocket Pohang.

‘Pocket Pohang’ is a service that conveniently delivers a variety of useful information to subscribers via KakaoTalk AlimTalk, including city administration news, cultural events such as festivals and performances, disaster alerts, and job information.

For citizens who do not use KakaoTalk, messages are automatically sent via SMS to reduce cases of non-receipt.

‘Pocket Pohang’ has received great response by offering convenience that allows citizens to easily and simply receive news on their phones without the hassle of searching for information one by one on the website.

Above all, it is expected to increase citizens’ interest and accessibility to city administration by shifting from ‘searching for administration’ to ‘receiving administration.’ Since the pilot launch in June, the number of subscribers has steadily increased, currently reaching about 4,000 applicants.

Riding on this positive response, Pohang City plans to actively utilize Pocket Pohang to enhance citizen convenience, such as sending additional comprehensive holiday measures related to hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies closely connected to citizens’ lives ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

The city will make various efforts to establish Pocket Pohang as a ‘citizen life-oriented service,’ including increasing the frequency of notifications and delivering customized information by region.

Mayor Lee Kang-deok said, “We operate the ‘Pocket Pohang’ service, which can be used with just a mobile phone, to bridge the information gap among citizens and provide the fastest and most convenient way to obtain information,” adding, “We will continue efforts to improve the service continuously so that it can become a ‘representative citizen communication channel’ that enhances convenience and satisfaction for citizens.”

The ‘Pocket Pohang’ service can be subscribed to through the Pohang City website (Leap-forward Pohang? Pohang News? Pocket Pohang (City Administration News) subscription), QR code, or by visiting the Eup/Myeon/Dong administrative welfare centers.
