After passing the domestic evaluation in June 2024, Yangsan City successfully completed the second on-site evaluation for international safe city certification over two days from November 14 to 15 and acquired the certification.

The second evaluation involved three ISCCC evaluators, two of whom participated via video conference (ZOOM), while Sunny Shanshan Li, an evaluator of Taiwanese nationality, visited Yangsan City to conduct the on-site assessment in person.

The international safe city certification signifies that a city has an established foundation where community members actively and continuously strive to enhance safety, recognized on an international level.

With this, Yangsan City became the 30th local government in Korea and the third in Gyeongnam Province, following Changwon City and Gimhae City, to receive the international safe city certification.

A representative of Yangsan City stated, “Taking this international safe city certification as an opportunity, Yangsan will build a more robust safety management system and continue to prioritize the safety of its citizens.”

Yangsan City plans to hold an international safe city certification proclamation ceremony in December and aims to enhance its status as a global safe city by continuously discovering and expanding safety promotion projects, operating safety culture dissemination programs, and activating safety cooperation networks even after certification.
