Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) announced on the 3rd that it conducted structural safety inspections on aging senior centers to ensure the safety of elderly residents.


This inspection was carried out to accurately assess the condition of some aging senior center buildings, secure the safety of the facilities, and prevent disasters.


The target facilities were two locations: Guui Senior Center (40-gil 6, Gwangnaru-ro, approved for use in 1971) and Noyusan Senior Center (15-2, Dongil-ro 10ga-gil, approved for use in 1978),

all of which are aging facilities over 40 years old.


For reference, among the four senior centers in Gwangjin-gu that are over 40 years old, Jayang 2-dong 2nd Senior Center (17, Ttukseom-ro 62-gil, approved for use in 1978) completed remodeling early last year, and Junggok 4-dong Senior Center (57, Gingo-rang-ro 39-gil, approved for use in 1974) completed a structural safety inspection last November and is currently promoting a low-carbon transition remodeling project.


The district commissioned a specialized safety inspection agency to conduct ▲ building status surveys ▲ non-destructive testing of structures ▲ review of repair and reinforcement plans so that elderly users of the senior centers can enjoy a safe and comfortable leisure space. Based on the safety inspection results, repair, reinforcement, and other safety measures will be taken in the future.



Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We will maintain continuous interest in senior centers, which are resting spaces for local elderly residents, and do our best to ensure that seniors can use the centers safely and comfortably without inconvenience.”
