This comprehensive plan is divided into areas such as ▶ maintaining a rapid response system ▶ safe and comfortable facility management ▶ fostering integrity awareness and establishing work discipline, with detailed plans to be implemented accordingly.


The corporation plans to operate a comprehensive situation room from the 9th to the 12th, when the Lunar New Year holiday begins, to promptly respond to various emergencies that may occur during the holiday period.


During the Lunar New Year holiday, 14 locations including funeral facilities, Jinhae Marine Park, and special transportation for the mobility-impaired will operate normally, while 21 locations such as Changwon Sports Complex auxiliary stadium, inline auxiliary stadium, Masan Baseball Center basketball court, and affiliated parking lots will be open free of charge.


At Jinhae Marine Park, to create a warm holiday atmosphere during the Lunar New Year holiday, a ‘Traditional Folk Games Festival’ featuring Yutnori, Tuho throwing, Jegichagi, and other traditional games will be held along with a photo zone.


In particular, a ‘Comprehensive Plan for Welcoming Visitors’ will be implemented to provide safety and convenience for visitors to funeral facilities such as Sangbok Park and Masan Yeongsaengwon.


The corporation expects an average of about 30,000 visitors per day and a total of approximately 120,000 visitors during this Lunar New Year holiday period.


Accordingly, a support situation room for visitors will be operated, and in cooperation with the police, measures to maintain traffic order will be taken to ensure smooth welcoming of visitors.


The columbarium facilities at Sangbok Park Columbarium, Masan Yeongsaengwon, and Jinhae Cheonjawon will operate two hours longer from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. during the holiday period, and an outdoor communal ritual altar will be installed and operated. However, the crematorium will not operate on the 10th, the day of Seol.


Prior to this, since January 29, the corporation has been conducting special safety inspections on all facilities to prevent disasters and safety accidents.


The main inspection areas include various vulnerable facilities as well as civil engineering, architecture, machinery, electrical, and telecommunications inspections, along with environmental maintenance and readiness for emergency situations.



Director Kim Jonghae said, “We will do our best to ensure that citizens and returning visitors can have a safe and comfortable holiday by thoroughly implementing the comprehensive plan for the Lunar New Year.”
