Seo-gu, Gwangju Accelerates Projecting Sign Maintenance... 1,324 Signs Targeted

Supporting the Incorporation of Advertisements into the Legal System

Seo-gu District in Gwangju Metropolitan City will embark on a full-scale project to organize projecting outdoor signs.

This year, Seo-gu will conduct safety inspections on 1,324 projecting signs located in the Gwangcheon, Nongseong 1, Nongseong 2, and Yudeok-dong areas. Based on the inspection results and whether the signs meet legal requirements, signs that can be legalized will go through the post-approval process, while those requiring repair or removal will be subject to administrative procedures such as repair or demolition orders, to be carried out in stages.

This project focuses on ensuring that illegal signs that are structurally sound and meet the necessary requirements can be managed within the legal system.

Starting with the designated areas for this year, Seo-gu plans to gradually inspect and organize projecting signs in all 18 neighborhoods over the next five years, establishing a sustainable management system for outdoor advertisements. In particular, the district will prioritize safety inspections and provide administrative support such as fee waivers to actively encourage the incorporation of signs that can be legalized into the official system.

Sim Namsik, Head of Urban Space Division, stated, "It is important not just to remove illegal advertisements, but also to help those that meet requirements to be managed safely within the legal framework," adding, "We will implement an effective policy for organizing outdoor advertisements."
