[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 6th that it will conduct a 'Child-Friendly City Assessment Survey' to establish a four-year implementation plan to promote children's rights and to serve as basic data for developing child policies, aimed at creating a UNICEF child-friendly city.
The survey period will run for three weeks from the 8th to the 28th of this month, with approximately 2,000 respondents including elementary, middle and high school students, minority group children, parents of pre-school children, parents of elementary, middle and high school students, and child-related personnel.
The survey content will assess six areas of child-friendliness (play and leisure, participation and civic awareness, safety and protection, health and social services, educational environment, and family environment) using standardized questionnaires designated by UNICEF. Additionally, the city will develop and conduct surveys in fields such as children's participatory awareness and children's play environment.
The survey will be conducted online through school online class rooms and the school notice app in cooperation with Gunpo-Uiwang Office of Education. While the survey is planned to be conducted in a non-contact manner as much as possible due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, offline surveys will also be available upon request.
Meanwhile, the city will select agenda items for a citizen's roundtable discussion scheduled to be held in August based on the results of the child-friendly city assessment. The city plans to establish specific strategies for creating a child-friendly city centered around the selected agenda items.
