Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Takes Action to Eradicate 'Illegal Advertisements'

Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is implementing a 'Comprehensive Plan to Eradicate Illegal Advertisements.'

On the 6th, the district announced that it plans to actively respond to problems such as indiscriminate habitual and large-scale distribution banners, and 'guerrilla-style illegal advertisements' targeting vulnerable maintenance times.

First, it will expand participation in the collection reward system, which accounts for 38% of the total illegal advertisement cleanup volume (as of 2023).

The target participants will be expanded to include residents, residents' autonomy committees, neighborhood leaders, merchants' associations, and other groups. Through business agreements with social organizations, a responsibility management system for habitual illegal banner posting areas will be operated to establish a system that closely manages vulnerable areas in daily life.

The 365 on-site cleanup team will extend operating hours until 10 PM on weekdays and weekends.

Permanent cleanup teams will be organized into three zones: Zone 1 (Cheomdan District, Sinchang·Singaji District), Zone 2 (Songjeong Area, Usan·Wolgok District), and Zone 3 (Suwan District, Hanam 1·2 District, Unnam District), to promptly respond to illegal advertisements targeting vulnerable maintenance times.

Administrative measures against illegal advertisements will also be strengthened.

Until now, fines were imposed only on agencies (installers) that installed illegal advertisements, but the plan is to expand this to include business operators.

In particular, a 100% fine will be imposed without exception on illegal advertisements reported through the ‘Safe Report’ app.
