Gwonseon-gu Parking Lots and Pocket Parks to Be Built on Vacant Land

Gwonseon-gu (District Chief Kim Jeong-su) announced on the 4th that it held a results briefing on a comprehensive survey of vacant land on the afternoon of the 3rd at the district office small conference room, attended by 14 officials including department heads from the district office and comprehensive team leaders from each dong, following the implementation of the "Making Our Beautiful Neighborhoods" project utilizing small scraps of land.

At the meeting on that day, discussions were held on the results of the comprehensive survey of vacant land conducted in 11 dongs across Gwonseon-gu from June 11 to 25, and on specific project schedules going forward.

Based on the results of this comprehensive survey, Gwonseon-gu plans to identify sites suitable for small-scale park development among vacant lands that harm urban aesthetics, such as those left idle without long-term construction plans or where garbage has been illegally dumped, and will either create free parking lots or have dong community organizations serve as project implementers to create streetside flower beds and pocket parks while also securing resident rest areas.

Hwang Kyung-yeon, head of the district's administrative support division, said, "Based on the results of the comprehensive survey, we will promote projects for sites suitable as free parking lots through consultation with landowners," and added, "We ask for efforts to successfully establish this project by creating flower beds in areas with illegal garbage dumping."
