Through the national participation movement "New Look for the Republic of Korea," the city aims to create an environment suitable for an international event ahead of the APEC Summit and to present a clean city image to returning residents and visitors.

In addition, the city encouraged voluntary citizen participation by running the "Clean in Front of My House" daily practice campaign in parallel.

All city departments and towns are also continuing their own cleaning activities, expanding environmental improvements to every corner of alleyways and residential areas.

Kim Palgeun, Director of the Bureau of Administration and Safety, stated, "Through environmental improvement activities involving both the public and private sectors, we will create a pleasant living environment that citizens can truly feel, and we will continue to spread a culture of environmental maintenance in daily life."
