◆ 'Multipurpose Camping Site' for Workers to Officially Open on the 17th

Pohang City announced that the "Pohang City Workers' Multipurpose Camping Site," which was established to support workers' physical and mental recovery as well as their cultural lives, will officially open on the 17th.

Located near Chilpo Beach in Heunghaeeup, Buk-gu, the camping site covers an area of 7,045 square meters and is equipped with nine caravans and 18 camping sites.

In particular, the site offers a comfortable camping environment with fully equipped modern amenities, including a cooking area, shower facilities, and a foot-washing station.

Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through the official website starting at 2:00 p.m. on the 6th. From the 7th to the 16th, a ten-day pilot operation will be held exclusively for local workers.

After the official opening, the facility will also be available to the general public. However, starting from June reservations, local workers will be given priority booking privileges.

Discounts will be provided, with a 20% reduction for local workers and 10% for Pohang residents. For example, with the worker discount, weekday caravan rates start as low as 56,000 won, offering reasonable access to the facility.

◆ 'Alert' Level for Energy Crisis Response... Joint Campaign with Related Organizations

Meanwhile, following the government's upgrade of the crude oil resource security crisis alert to "Alert," Pohang City conducted a joint energy-saving campaign with related organizations on the 6th around Daejam Intersection and Ogeori Intersection.

About 50 officials from energy-related organizations, including Pohang City, North Gyeongsang Province, and Korea Electric Power Corporation, participated in the campaign.

They informed citizens on their way to work about the seriousness of energy supply instability caused by the Middle East situation and actively promoted practical actions such as participating in an alternate-day car use scheme, using public transportation, and turning off unnecessary lights.

To set an example in the public sector, the city will implement an alternate-day (odd-even) system for employee vehicles at the city hall starting on the 8th, and a five-day rotation system will also be applied to visitor vehicles.

Lee Sangyeop, Director of the Job Economy Bureau, stated, "We will focus our administrative efforts on providing a space where workers can relax with their families, while also helping everyone wisely overcome the ongoing energy crisis. We ask all citizens to actively participate in energy-saving practices, even if it may cause some inconvenience."
