Youth Harmful- Environment Mapping
A youth-safety project mapping hazards across Seocho-gu, documenting the everyday dangers a young person walks past, and reporting them to the district government.
Walking through the community, we documented harmful or hazardous conditions: illegal alcohol and cigarette advertising, dangerous hanging electrical wires, and broken sidewalks. Seeing how many small hazards accumulate in one neighborhood was its own lesson.
We uploaded our findings to a website run by the Seocho-gu district government. Watching some of the problems actually get addressed showed me that even simple actions, taking a photo and filing a report, can feed directly into how a community gets safer.
