Hello. I am Hyeongju Jin from Belgium.
If you want to know more about me, please refer to my introduction on this Handong Platform.

1. Home (지역의 환경문제 파악)
The Eco-Paradox of E-Scooters on Spacious College Campuses On university campuses, including Handong Global University, e-scooters have become the dominant mode of student transit. However, these electric micro-mobility devices suffer from an eco-paradox: compared to traditional bicycles, e-scooters have a notoriously short lifespan. Their manufacturing, frequent battery replacement, and eventual disposal generate a significant, hidden carbon footprint.
2. Objective (환경문제의 원인 파악)
Hidden Emissions in Operations and A Lack of Low-Emission Alternatives The root cause of this environmental drain is the high-emission operational cycle. When e-scooter batteries drain, fossil-fuel-powered trucks must constantly drive around campus to collect, recharge, and redeploy them. Students rely on this heavy-emission system simply because there is no low-cost, zero-emission public alternative—like Seoul's public bike system "Ttareungi"—available within the campus ecosystem.
3. Plan (환경문제의 해결책)
The Smart-Tag Shared Bicycle Network (The Campus "Ttareungi" Model) We propose replacing e-scooters with a zero-emission, battery-free public bicycle infrastructure tailored for campuses. To ensure accountability and prevent loss without building expensive docking stations, every bicycle will be embedded with a low-power Smart Tag (Bluetooth/IoT tracker). Students can unlock the bikes instantly using their university student ID smart-cards, creating a self-sustaining, zero-emission transit loop.
4. Execute (해결책 실천 및 실행 방안)
Public-Private University Partnership and Government Eco-Funding Petition We should execute this by submitting a joint policy proposal to the University Administration, Local Government (such as the Pohang City Mobility Bureau), and the Ministry of Environment. We will pitch this as a "Green Campus Mobility Pilot Project" to secure government eco-grants or corporate sponsorships for the initial bicycle fleet. By proving that smart, low-tech solutions (analog bikes + IoT tags) can successfully phase out high-emission e-scooters, we will establish a blueprint for eco-friendly campuses worldwide.
