Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced on the 19th the promulgation and full implementation of the partial amendment to the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Garage Certification and Management Ordinance, and will focus on closely monitoring residents' responses to the system improvement.

Jeju Province plans to hold regular working group meetings with administrative cities (including eup, myeon, and dong) to gather feedback from the field during the initial phase of the system improvement and to respond immediately to residents' inconveniences. The results of the monitoring will be actively reflected in future parking policy improvements.

In particular, to inform residents about the system improvement, promotional efforts are being strengthened through card news, YouTube, social network services (SNS), broadcasts via the Bus Information System (BIS), revisions to administrative manuals, and on-site briefings at administrative cities and eup, myeon, and dong offices.

With this amendment, compact cars, small vehicles including trucks under 1 ton, first-class low-emission vehicles (electric and hydrogen vehicles), and medium-sized vehicles with engine displacement under 1,600cc are now excluded from the garage certification requirement.

Additionally, one vehicle owned by a multi-child family, one vehicle owned by a basic livelihood recipient or a near-poverty household, and one vehicle owned (including joint ownership with a guardian) by a person with a severe disability or their guardian are also newly excluded from the requirement.

Jeju Province also plans to conduct a resident awareness survey in the first half of the year. The aim is to objectively measure the effects of improvements to the garage certification system, which has been in place for 18 years, and to identify residents' actual satisfaction and field requirements.

Kim Taewan, Director of the Jeju Province Transportation and Aviation Bureau, said, "Through thorough monitoring in the early stages of implementing the system improvement, we will quickly identify and address any potential issues," and added, "Based on close cooperation with administrative cities, we will continue to develop parking policies that residents can truly feel."
