Opening of Second Parking Lot Utilizing Idle Land Left Unused for 17 Years to Alleviate Parking Shortage

24-Hour Unmanned Control System Operation... Enhancing Quality of Public Service

Gumi City in Gyeongbuk opened the City Hall's second parking lot on the 20th and launched a 24-hour unmanned control system for the existing parking lot to improve congestion and enhance the quality of services for citizens.


The City Hall parking lot has long suffered from chronic parking difficulties due to a lack of parking spaces and an inefficient parking management system. To address this, the city implemented a two-track strategy of 'expanding parking spaces' and 'improving the management system,' establishing effective measures to alleviate parking problems.


First, a temporary parking lot with a total of 243 spaces was created on idle land in Songjeong-dong near City Hall. This site had been neglected for 17 years, damaging the urban landscape, but through close consultations between the city and Wonnam Saemaeul Geumgo, a lease agreement was reached, transforming it into the second parking lot. This development allows employees, visitors, and nearby residents to use the parking space comfortably.


Additionally, to resolve inconveniences caused by non-customer vehicles parking for extended periods, a 24-hour unmanned control system was introduced in the existing parking lot. This enables visitors to use parking spaces more smoothly and allows for efficient management of parking spaces.



Mayor Kim Jang-ho stated, “With the opening of the second parking lot and the introduction of the unmanned control system, we can provide a better parking environment for citizens visiting City Hall,” adding, “We will continue to pursue various improvements in parking infrastructure to solve parking difficulties.”
