Uijeongbu City (Mayor Kim Dong-geun) will pilot the ‘outdoor advertising pre-clearance system’ such as signboards from January 1, 2025.
The outdoor advertising pre-registration system provides guidance on the permit (report) procedures and display methods for outdoor advertising before the business owner installs a sign, so that the outdoor advertising department can produce and install legal advertising materials at the time of business permit (report). It is a system that passes through .
When installing outdoor advertising materials such as signboards, business owners must comply with the display method of advertising materials and receive regional permit support and permission/report from the city aesthetics team. However, due to lack of awareness of signage permission and reporting, illegal advertisements that do not comply with the advertisement display method are proliferating.
Accordingly, in order to prevent the mass production of illegal advertising materials, the city plans to systematically guide people to understand legal advertising materials in advance when applying for various permits or permits (reporting) before installing outdoor advertising materials.
In addition, when reporting a business closure, we plan to remove existing signs and prevent the creation of unattended signs, thereby preventing safety accidents and creating a pleasant urban environment.
The city plans to conduct a pilot operation in major business permit (reporting) departments such as food, public hygiene, and singing practice centers, and fully implement it for all industries starting in the second half of the year, reflecting the results of the operation.
Lee, the former director of the Urban Housing Bureau, said, “We will create a proper advertising culture and create safe and comfortable streets by establishing the awareness that signs must be approved (reported) before installation.”
Meanwhile, Uijeongbu City (Mayor Kim Dong-geun) announced on the 31st that the number of complaints about living environment, such as noise and flying dust, totaled 1,838 this year, a decrease of about 28% from last year.
Among these, noise from construction sites accounted for the most at about 54%, followed by noise from business and daily life at 26%, fugitive dust at 7%, and other complaints (light pollution, odor, etc.) at 13%.
This year, in order to maintain a comfortable living environment around construction sites, the city operated an Internet of Things (IOT) noise and fugitive dust monitoring system at two large construction sites and conducted special management such as inspections of noise and fugitive dust emitting workplaces.
In particular, frequent on-site inspections and nighttime crackdowns on mobile noise sources were conducted focusing on workplaces subject to repeated complaints, and communication meetings were held to resolve conflicts between complainants and workplaces.
Next year, we plan to strengthen inspections of management conditions at large construction sites to resolve resident inconveniences and expand on-site guidance and case training for other small businesses to minimize civil complaints.
Lee Jong-beom, head of the Environmental Policy Division, said, “We will create a healthy and comfortable living environment for citizens by minimizing hazardous living environment factors such as noise and flying dust.”
