Iksan City Implements 'Intensive Safety Inspection Resident Application System'

Iksan City launches resident-requested safety inspections
for small-scale daily life facilities such as village halls and senior centers

Iksan City in North Jeolla Province will operate the "Intensive Safety Inspection Resident Application System," which allows residents to directly request safety inspections of facilities, ahead of the "2025 Republic of Korea Intensive Safety Inspection."

According to the city on the 4th, the facilities subject to this inspection include small-scale public and private facilities closely related to daily life, such as village halls, senior centers, bridges, landslide-prone areas, and old buildings. Facilities with designated managers, buildings under construction, facilities involved in lawsuits or disputes, and those already undergoing legal inspections are excluded.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the local administrative welfare centers in towns, townships, and neighborhoods until the 28th. The city will select the facilities to be inspected in consultation with relevant departments and will individually notify the applicants.

The selected facilities will be inspected from the 14th of next month to June 13, with joint inspections conducted by experts in architecture, civil engineering, electricity, gas, and fire safety.

A city official stated, "Through this resident application system, we will thoroughly examine safety in daily life together with citizens and reduce blind spots," adding, "We will do our best to create a safe environment where citizens can feel secure through thorough inspections and improvements."

Meanwhile, the "Republic of Korea Intensive Safety Inspection," organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, is a joint public-private inspection involving central government ministries, local governments, public institution officials, and residents. The public-private inspection team inspects facilities vulnerable to safety risks and those with potential accident concerns, then shares the inspection results and risk mitigation measures.
