This project will be carried out with 250 million KRW in city funding secured through a Seoul Metropolitan Government public contest. The focus will be on creating a safe living environment by replacing facilities in vulnerable areas such as alleyways, Dasarang Children's Park, and Daerim Central Market.

In alleyways, the district will expand closed-circuit (CC)TV coverage and install bidirectional security lights that can be remotely monitored and controlled for malfunctions and on/off status from the control center, thereby eliminating blind spots in safety.

In addition, the district will establish safe routes home and strengthen night patrols to alleviate residents' concerns and create a safer walking environment. Dasarang Children's Park will be remodeled into a bright and safe family rest area. At Daerim Central Market, old awnings will be replaced and a bicycle storage area will be installed to refresh and improve the atmosphere.

The resident briefing session was organized to share the project plan with residents and gather a wide range of opinions. The session will be attended by about 70 people, including Yeongdeungpo District Mayor Cho Hogwon, community leaders, members of the foreigner voluntary crime prevention patrol team, and members of the Daerim Central Market Merchants Association, at 3:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, the district will continue facility improvements and maintenance in connection with its cleaning initiative "Daedongdankyeol" (Making Daerim-dong Tidy and Clean) and its illegal storage and advertisement maintenance initiative "Kwaigeo" (Making Daerim-dong Streets Pleasant). The district aims to create a "safe and pleasant Daerim-dong" through practical, resident-focused projects that can be directly felt by the community.

Mayor Cho Hogwon stated, "Since the beginning of the year, Daerim-dong has been at the center of change, transforming into a cleaner and more vibrant neighborhood. Please watch as Daerim-dong is reborn as a safe, livable community and a new hub of urban vitality, along with the establishment of crime prevention infrastructure."
