Minimizing Inconvenience for Residents During the Long Holiday with Task Forces for Each Sector

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that from the 24th of this month to the 3rd of next month, it will implement the ‘2025 Lunar New Year Comprehensive Plan’ focusing on four major areas: livelihood, transportation, daily life, and safety, to ensure that residents can spend a safe and comfortable Lunar New Year holiday.

The district will operate a comprehensive situation room from January 24 to 31 and organize sector-specific task forces composed of ▲safety ▲transportation ▲cleaning ▲medical care to promptly respond to any emergencies that may arise during the long holiday period.

Full Efforts for Livelihood Stability through Revitalizing the Local Economy and Supporting the Underprivileged

Efforts will be made to invigorate the stagnant local economy and strengthen support to stabilize residents’ livelihoods. Ahead of this Lunar New Year, the district issued ‘Yeongdeungpo Love Gift Certificates’ worth 8 billion KRW, double the amount from the previous year, to reduce residents’ shopping burdens and support the recovery of local businesses. Additionally, from January 21 to 24, the district will hold the ‘Eoullim Market’ in front of the district office, offering excellent products from traditional markets and small business owners in the area at reasonable prices.

Warm attention and care for marginalized neighbors will continue. Through events such as sharing holiday food and goods, joint ancestral rites tables for the homeless and residents of small rooms, and support for consolation funds, the district will help underprivileged groups enjoy a happy holiday. It will also focus on checking on socially isolated households to prevent crisis situations.

Special Transportation Measures

Before the holiday, major public transportation facilities will be pre-inspected to enhance safety. During the holiday, a ‘Transportation Countermeasures Situation Room’ and an ‘Illegal Parking Situation Room’ will be operated to promptly handle transportation complaints. Special crackdowns on parking and stopping will also be conducted around major stations and large marts to establish safe traffic order.

Furthermore, ▲30 public on-street parking lots ▲3 public off-street parking lots ▲3 resident-priority parking lots ▲4 school parking lots will be opened free of charge to provide parking convenience. The status of open parking lots can be checked on the district office website’s ‘Our District News’ bulletin board.

Minimizing Residents’ Inconvenience through Creating a Pleasant Environment and Providing Living Information

The district will promptly respond to cleaning complaints and maintain a pleasant urban environment by operating a cleaning countermeasures situation room. The situation room consists of ▲cleaning mobile teams ▲street cleaning teams ▲recycling collection teams ▲garbage collection teams ▲road dust cleaning teams to implement systematic cleaning measures.

In addition, various promotional media such as ‘Our Neighborhood Talk Reporters’ and media boards in apartment elevators will be used to provide concentrated guidance on necessary living information during the holiday period.

Strengthening Resident Safety in Medical, Disaster, and Food Sectors

To prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as influenza and minimize medical service gaps, the emergency medical system within the health center will be maintained. From January 27 to 30, a ‘Emergency Medical Situation Room’ will be operated for four days, and on January 27 and 28, an ‘Emergency Medical Team’ will be activated to prepare for emergency patients. The number of hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies open during the holiday will be expanded to further strengthen the emergency medical system. Information on hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies can be checked through the Emergency Medical Portal website or the Dasan Call Center (120).

Thorough preparations will also be made for disaster situations such as cold waves, heavy snow, and fires. To prevent safety accidents caused by natural disasters, an emergency response system will be maintained, and focused inspections will be conducted on road facilities, construction sites, and multi-use facilities. Additionally, hygiene inspections of holiday seasonal products and agricultural, fishery, and livestock products will be carried out to provide safe food.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “We have thoroughly prepared in all areas so that residents can spend a safe and happy holiday without worries this Lunar New Year.” He added, “In particular, we will carefully manage areas closely related to residents’ lives such as livelihood and safety and implement flawless measures.”
