[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-sung] Suwon's urban parks will be reborn as spaces where anyone can use them conveniently and easily by eliminating complex, inconvenient, or unnecessary elements.
The city announced on the 16th that it has completed the development of the 'Suwon ZERO-PARK Public Facilities Standard Design Manual' and 'Park Design Guideline' with the concept of 'Suwon ZERO-PARK' and plans to apply them when creating urban parks.
'ZERO-PARK,' which means eliminating complexity, inconvenience, and unnecessary elements, is centered on establishing Suwon's unique urban park identity and applying public design that enhances consistency among facilities.
The basic direction is to eliminate complexity to strengthen the park's healing and rest functions, eliminate inconvenience through a design that allows anyone to easily use and enjoy the park, and remove unnecessary elements that harmonize with the park's landscape.
First, the 'Public Facilities Standard Design Manual for Parks' establishes principles regarding the form, materials, color, and drawings of public facilities such as benches and visual media such as comprehensive guide signs. The standardized design, which is concise and geometric in form with diversified size options, enhances user convenience.
The color scheme uses green, representing Paldal Mountain, as the primary color and gold, representing Hwaseong Haenggung, as the accent color.
Materials such as stainless steel and treated wood are selected for their durability, while minimizing the impact of the external environment and contamination to facilitate maintenance and repair. Signage must use the Bon Gothic font and standard pictograms announced by the Industrial Standards and Technology Institute under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. The manual includes placement and installation guidelines for each public facility and procedures that allow consistent application of ready-made products from the Korea Procurement Service (narajangter comprehensive shopping mall).
In addition, the 'Park Design Guideline' presents park design standards so that specialized parks such as historical and cultural parks, which need to reflect location-specific characteristics, can be designed in compliance with Barrier Free (BF) certification system requirements. Furthermore, the guidelines incorporate crime prevention environmental design, universal, eco-friendly, and sustainable (maintenance-oriented) design elements and are structured as practical guidelines that enhance various park functions from project planning through construction of facilities such as entrances and restrooms.
The city expects that these manuals and guidelines will help create parks centered on users and apply designs that consider socially disadvantaged groups, thereby increasing park user satisfaction.
