An official from Iksan City stated, "We will concentrate all administrative efforts on water quality and safety management so that families can cool off while listening to the refreshing sound of water together without having to travel far away from the concrete downtown. We hope that the soaring water streams in the green park will become a refreshing vitalizer for the tired daily lives of citizens." This is a passage emphasizing the department's administrative performance, saying it would provide citizen-felt rest spaces by setting an operation schedule for 25 water facilities in the jurisdiction and linking night music fountains with play-type facilities. The dense guidelines filled in the press release, such as presenting a flexible water discharge plan 5 times a day, arranging gorgeous lights, and observing the Water Environment Conservation Act standards, create an illusion as if Iksan City is exerting tremendous preemptive efforts at the bureau level to protect citizen safety from summer heatwaves. However, despite the fact that the substance of the administration stops at the annual repeated work of turning on the operation button of existing park fountains, the practice of trying to package the department's ordinary management into a special disaster prevention innovation by hiding behind the grand rhetoric of 'transforming into an oasis amidst an unprecedented heatwave' is a specimen of typical 'performance-inflating exhibition administration.'
The biggest blind spot of this water facility operation plan is that the 'ironclad security-type hygiene and safety management' boasted by Iksan City stays as an 'administrative convenience-oriented criteria filling' that is woefully insufficient to fundamentally block cross-infections between infants and citizens. Conducting water quality tests only once every 15 days despite being a play-type facility where water directly touches the skin is merely barely meeting the minimum guidelines set by current laws. If it truly desires a safe environment without worrying about hygiene accidents like infectious diseases, instead of relying on bi-weekly post-examinations, solid infrastructure construction must precede, such as introducing real-time water quality automatic measurement sensors to block operation immediately upon pollution occurrence. Omitting such structural infrastructure improvements or personnel expansion, and promoting the natural maintenance work of changing water every Wednesday as a grand safety countermeasure is nothing more than a typical performance-oriented shell born of performance anxiety.
In addition, grandly promoting the arrangement of music fountains and night operations centering on some base parks like the Central Sports Park to make them downtown night attractions is also an exhibition administration peculiar to local governments repeated every summer season. While concentrating budgets and administrative power on gorgeous attractions, practical macroscopic countermeasures to heal climate inequality in outlying areas or small-scale residential areas without even a single sunshade canopy, which are defenselessly exposed to heatwave damage, are pushed back. Desk administration that only inflates the operation count indicators of reports by running short-term fountains has no practical effectiveness in resolving the urban heat island phenomenon, the fundamental cause of heatwaves.
In an era where an unprecedented climate crisis becomes reality this summer, the heatwave response policies of local governments must move beyond press release politics centered on simple fountain water streams or superficial night openings for show. Expending public funds every year on repeated facility maintenance costs and water replacement fees cannot fundamentally improve the housing environment of vulnerable social groups. Iksan City must immediately stop showy administration promoting water facility operation counts as achievements. Upgrading wind paths connecting downtown green axes so that solitary senior citizens and outdoor workers suffering in the shaded fields can enjoy practical cooling efficacy, and permanentizing eco-friendly permeable block and wall greening projects, it should concentrate administrative capabilities on solidifying the inherent public safety net, such as mandating the introduction of cool roofs for public buildings overall, to receive recognition for the sincerity of policy.
