Creating a Pleasant Market Environment
Enhancing Convenience for Citizens

Guri City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Baek Kyunghyun) announced on the 10th that it carried out intensive environmental cleanup for two days on February 7 and 8 at Guri Traditional Market, a major pedestrian traffic area, so that citizens can use the traditional market in a cleaner and more pleasant environment ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

This environmental cleanup was organized in line with the purpose of "Our Neighborhood Makeover," a nationwide participatory campaign in which local communities and the public work together to beautify the country, with the aim of creating a clean urban environment focused on everyday living spaces. In particular, it focused on minimizing inconveniences associated with the use of traditional markets during the holiday period by carrying out preemptive cleanup before the Lunar New Year break.

The cleanup covered the entire Guri Traditional Market area, with intensive efforts focused on environmental vulnerabilities such as: collecting household waste that had been illegally dumped or discharged in mixed form; removing items piled up around stores and abandoned waste; and cleaning the ground around designated waste collection points.

In particular, environmental officials and related departments participated together in this cleanup, conducting prior safety training and strictly adhering to safety guidelines during the work process, thereby ensuring thorough and safe on-site management.

An official from Guri City said, "We anticipated an increase in citizens and visitors coming to the traditional market for the Lunar New Year holiday, so we carried out preemptive environmental cleanup before the break," adding, "Going forward, we will continue to work to create a clean living environment that citizens can truly feel, in connection with initiatives such as Clean Guri Day and the Happy Holly Adoption Project."

Meanwhile, even after this round of environmental cleanup, Guri City plans to maintain a pleasant traditional market environment through ongoing on-site inspections and resident-participation-based environmental management activities.
