Jeonbuk Province was recognized as an outstanding local government for its contributions to establishing an outdoor advertising culture, including signboard improvement projects, recycling of discarded banners, and reducing the use of disposable banners through digitalization.

In particular, the province improved urban aesthetics and ensured residents' safety by removing old signboards along major roads in Iksan and Namwon and installing new signboards that harmonize with the design.

Additionally, by establishing an outdoor advertising management system and conducting a comprehensive survey (database construction) of outdoor advertisements, the province has prevented safety accidents caused by typhoons and strong winds and laid the foundation for efficiently managing illegally installed signboards.

Kim Kwangsoo, Director of Construction and Transportation for the province, said, "Taking this award as an opportunity, we will expand our signboard improvement projects so that residents can enjoy a pleasant living environment, and we will make even greater efforts to establish an outdoor advertising culture by eradicating illegal banners and reducing banner usage."
