Suwon's Haenggung-dong Eco-Mobility Village Draws Benchmarking Visits

[Suwon Ilbo=Seo Dong-young Reporter] Suwon City announced on the 22nd that the flow of local governments and organizations seeking to benchmark the 'Haenggung-dong Eco-Mobility Village' continues.

Although visitor numbers decreased this year due to COVID-19 compared to previous years, recently around 120 people from 21 local governments and organizations including Incheon Jung-gu visited the Eco-Mobility Village and the Eco-Mobility Village Community Center, toured the 'Eco-Mobility Suwon 2013' site, and received explanations on the festival preparation process.

The Eco-Mobility Village Community Center, which opened in August 2014, is a space created to continuously promote eco-mobility following the 'Eco-Mobility Suwon 2013' event.

It operates programs such as 'Eco-Mobility Suwon 2013 Project Site Vivid Tours' and 'Suwon Hwaseong Fortress Wall Trail Stamp Tours'. Visitors can also experience bicycle power generators.

In the Alley Museum within the Community Center, visitors can see photographs and scrapbooks from 'Eco-Mobility Suwon 2013', bicycle models, and related items from eco-mobility international and domestic events in which Suwon City participated over seven years.

Starting next year, the Eco-Mobility Village Community Center plans to operate a 'Village Video Hall' within the center to screen photographs and videos related to 'Eco-Mobility Practice'.

A city official stated, "We hope many people learn about 'eco-mobility' at the Eco-Mobility Village Community Center and use eco-mobility transportation methods in their daily lives," and added, "We will actively promote eco-mobility to spread to multiple cities."

The Eco-Mobility Village Community Center operates from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays; however, it has been closed since the 19th as social distancing was raised to Level 1.5. It is expected to reopen once the distancing level is adjusted to Level 1.
