2012 Comprehensive Plan for Environmental Improvement

Paldal-gu announced on the 30th that it has established a "2012 Comprehensive Plan for Environmental Improvement" and will systematically implement it in response to the growing demand among citizens for a clean, healthy, and green environment.

Last year, the district promoted green living initiatives, including operating bicycle safety classes for approximately 200 people such as housewives and civil servants. It also concluded agreements with environmental organizations regarding the Suwon Stream environmental improvement project, and approximately 1,200 people participated in water quality and environmental protection campaigns held six times.

Additionally, the district classified and conducted differential guidance inspections on 307 polluting business establishments and imposed administrative sanctions on 14 of them.

Furthermore, the district has made efforts to reduce environmental pollution through ozone alert operations and management, drinking water facility management, environmental conservation education and publicity, and assessment and collection of environmental improvement levies.

Paldal-gu plans to implement various programs befitting Suwon's status as an environmental capital this year, including new projects such as "Heartbeat Environmental Film Festival" (outreach program) and "Ecosystem-Disrupting Wildlife and Flora Eradication Project."

A district official stated, "Through continuous and systematic implementation of the Home-Doctor system that provides environmental technology support to small businesses and the bicycle safety class for environmentally friendly green transportation, we will take the lead in building a green Paldal-gu where residents can enjoy a pleasant environment."
