Low Facility Satisfaction at Sangmu National Sports Center in Seo-gu, Gwangju

Councilor Kim Tae-jin's 5-Minute Free Speech

Satisfaction with the Sangmu National Sports Center in Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City has been revealed to be low.

Kim Tae-jin, a member of the Seo-gu Council, pointed out this issue during a 5-minute free speech at the 2nd regular session of the 317th general meeting.

The facility has been operated by the Seo-gu Facilities Management Corporation since April.

The problem is that despite being a newly constructed building, a satisfaction survey conducted on 95 users showed that only 48% (45 people) were very satisfied with the facilities.

Councilor Kim stated, "Facility satisfaction is extremely low compared to the program satisfaction of 83% (75 people)," and added, "It is failing to meet the expectations of residents at the early stage of its opening."

He particularly pointed out, "Although the number of lockers in the swimming pool changing room has been improved to about 140, the gym on the 2nd floor is still very cramped."

Furthermore, he argued, "An indoor track was installed as a requirement during the public contest for the construction of the National Sports Center, but consultations with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism are needed to expand the gym."
