This project holds significant meaning as a government-supported initiative aimed at protecting residents' lives and property from natural disasters such as flooding caused by the annual overflow of rivers.

According to Goseong County, the designated maintenance area has suffered frequent flooding and considerable inconvenience to residents during heavy rainfall due to river overflows.
