Big Tree, Moms Free Zone, Improvement Process in Full Swing
Changwon Special City plans to establish a citizen and expert consultation group related to 'Big Tree' and 'Moms Free Zone' in September to actively reflect the opinions of citizens.
This consultation group will specifically discuss the scope of improvement, utilization direction, operational measures, and aim to develop gradually. Through citizen participation, we can expect transformations into better facilities.
Direction of Big Tree Improvement – Complementing Through Design and Planning Competition
The Big Tree, which had garnered high expectations as a new landmark of Changwon, saw its appearance shrink as the installation of a 'main tree' at the top was omitted from the original plan. This led to increased disappointment among citizens.
A survey conducted after its temporary opening in August revealed that negative responses reached 85%, with 81% of respondents indicating that "an additional main structure is necessary," highlighting the urgent need for improvement.
The city plans to conduct a design and planning competition in October and aims to finalize the improved design by January next year. This competition will not only assess simple designs but will also prioritize the feasibility of implementation, considering design, engineering, and construction stages. Moreover, citizen preferences will be factored into the evaluation.
The Big Tree aims to leverage its location to consider various possibilities. There is a commitment to developing it into a night view appreciation site, a place for citizens to relax, and a tourist photo spot. In particular, emphasis will be placed on its observation deck functionality to establish it as a representative attraction of the region.
Ways to Utilize Moms Free Zone – Providing Customized Content for Users
The completion of the Moms Free Zone's facilities is imminent, but criticism has arisen regarding the lack of internal utilization plans. In response, the city emphasized the following aspects based on the opinions of women, parents, and experts. First, the need for a kids' zone for children, second, a relaxation space for parents, third, ensuring the flexibility of space partitions, and fourth, the need to enhance operational expertise.
Plans are in place to finalize utilization strategies by October through consultations with citizens and explanatory meetings. Following that, concrete spatial plans will be established through planning services in the first half of next year.
