'Green Suwon' Eco-Friendly Projects Accelerate

Suwon City is accelerating efforts to create a green, eco-friendly city through expansion of green spaces and parks, improvement of water and air quality, and noise reduction measures.

The city has established an air environment management system and operates seven monitoring stations and seven air quality information display boards. It has also drawn up a plan to supply a total of 481 natural gas buses, with 128 units currently distributed.

The city is implementing a '10-Year Integrated Water Management Plan' and has completed installation of water quality improvement facilities at Seoho Reservoir, with plans to complete ecological riverbank restoration projects at the reservoir by September of this year.

The city is pursuing a damage survey project related to Suwon Air Base, targeting completion by September next year, and is preparing measures to address public complaints regarding aircraft noise and property damage, ultimately pursuing the relocation of the air base.

The Beautiful School Forest Development Project, with a total investment of 6 billion won, was implemented for 20 schools last year and will create forests at 15 schools this year. Additionally, the city has newly created or remodeled 33 pocket parks.

In order to establish an eco-friendly urban foundation, the city is establishing an 'Environmental Conservation Master Plan' encompassing 10 key areas including air quality, water quality, noise, and vibration, with plans to complete natural environment surveys and ecological mapping by next year.
