Yongin Special City (Mayor Lee Sang-il) announced on the 30th that it has designated 'Jukjeon-Center' and 'Manhyeon-ro' as alley-type commercial districts to enhance the competitiveness of local alley commercial areas and establish a stable business foundation for small merchants.

With this designation, the total number of alley-type commercial districts in Yongin Special City has increased to 35.

The No. 34 'Jukjeon-Center Alley-type Commercial District' is located around 125 Hyeonam-ro-gil 6, Suji-gu, with 395 shops operating in an area of approximately 23,181 square meters.

The No. 35 'Manhyeon-ro Alley-type Commercial District' is located around 110 Manhyeon-ro, Suji-gu, with 288 shops operating in an area of approximately 16,265 square meters.

An alley-type commercial district is a system in which local government designates areas where shops operated by small merchants are concentrated above a certain standard.

Upon designation as an alley-type commercial district, shops in the area can register as affiliated merchants for Omni-Family Gift Certificates according to relevant requirements. They can also participate in commercial district revitalization support and contests jointly promoted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the Small Enterprise and Market Service, Gyeonggi Province, and the Gyeonggi-do Market and Commercial District Promotion Agency.

Mayor Lee Sang-il stated, "The designation of alley-type commercial districts lays the groundwork for local small merchants to utilize Omni-Family Gift Certificates and various support projects. We will continue to communicate with merchants so that each commercial district can grow by leveraging its unique characteristics and competitiveness, and we will expand projects that provide substantive assistance to alley commercial areas."
