The city will first install additional signs prohibiting camping and cooking around the Samaksan observatory and the entrance to the hiking trails. Inside the observatory, safety facilities will be set up to prevent the installation of illegal tents and to maintain order in the space.

Starting next month, the city will launch a "Joint Wildfire Prevention Campaign," promoting proper hiking practices to visitors, including bans on the use of fire, carrying out one's trash, and observing etiquette while exploring the area.

A city official stated, "Through continuous on-site inspections and activities to prevent illegal acts, we will create a tourist environment where both citizens and visitors can enjoy themselves comfortably." The official added, "We plan to expand a safe and orderly culture of use throughout all major tourist attractions in the Chuncheon area."
