Promoting Improvements for a Clean Walking Environment
On the 27th, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam gathered about 300 heads of villages and neighborhoods from 15 towns and districts at the Masanhappo-gu Heads of Villages and Neighborhoods Association to carry out environmental cleanup activities following the recent extreme heavy rainfall.

This activity was led by the heads of Masanhappo-gu, who took the initiative to participate in order to provide visitors to the 3.15 Marine Nuri Park area with a cleaner and more pleasant urban environment, and to improve the walking environment within the park.
The participants were divided into four teams per town and district, and worked up a sweat as they moved along a 4-kilometer section covering the 3.15 Marine Nuri Park, Imhang Line Greenway, and Odong-dong Sculpture Park area, collecting roadside trash, pulling weeds, and removing illegal banners as part of the environmental cleanup activities.

The city will also swiftly implement resident-oriented projects in the second half of the year to change the daily lives of the heads of villages and neighborhoods, and will devote administrative resources so that citizens can enjoy a more pleasant living environment."
President Heo Minsook stated, "Whenever heavy rainfall or various natural disasters occur, all the heads of villages and neighborhoods work together with one heart on prevention and recovery activities," and added, "We will continue to volunteer wherever help is needed in the region to make Masanhappo-gu a warm and welcoming city."
