Introduction of Safe City
 
The concept of safe city was officially placed in the limelight at the 1st Accident and Loss Prevention Conference held in Stockholm, Sweden in September 1989 and it is based on the declaration that “All people have the equal right to live a healthy and safe life.” Safe city does not mean that the local society is completely safe, but it means that the city is doing its best to enhance the awareness of safety among its community.
 
Background
 
In order to achieve a higher quality of life by creating a healthy society, which is the ultimate goal of WHO health cities that our city pursues, in advance and to establish our position as an international healthy city, we need the safe city certification from WHO. In order to minimize economic losses caused by accidents and physical injuries, and to improve the quality of life among the residents, we need to pursue a safe city that fits the conditions of the local society and establish a proper understanding on safety for the entire local society.
