Seo-gu improved nighttime brightness through continuous facility inspections and LED replacements for 11,860 streetlights, and worked to resolve resident inconveniences and ensure safety by eliminating non-compliant facilities to prevent electrical safety accidents. Additionally, it promoted a brightness improvement project for about 400 streetlights in major pedestrian areas over two years, leading to increased resident satisfaction.

By accurately identifying locations through the GIS (Geographic Information System)-based streetlight management system established last year, Seo-gu shortened the complaint processing period and also achieved electricity cost savings.

Kim I-gang, Mayor of Seo-gu, said, “Through continuous interest and systematic management of road lighting, we provide a pleasant walking environment that residents can feel, and we will continue to take the lead in creating a bright and safe Seo-gu.”
