대구 이슬람사원 6년 갈등 풀릴까?…북구 “대체 부지로 이전” 제안
North Gyeongsang Province's "Alternative Site Proposal for Continued Islamic Cultural Center Construction Conflict" has sparked attention as a potential resolution to the six-year-long conflict. The Gyeongsangbuk-do Mayor's Office announced on the 10th that they have proposed an alternative site for the Islamic Cultural Center construction through a practical solution, exchanging the building site with the architect.
The suggested location is the former Old Daehyeon Police Station site (230-2 Daehyeon-dong) with a ground floor area of 163㎡. The current construction site and the proposed site are only 3 minutes apart by foot. The Mayor's Office stated that they believe the current construction site is in a densely populated residential area, and continuing the conflict would only prolong the situation.
They provided this alternative to ensure the stability of students' religious activities while protecting the living environment of residents. The former Old Daehyeon Police Station site is a national property owned by the Ministry of Finance and Economy. The Mayor's Office plans to proceed with the purchase and exchange process if the architect accepts the proposal.
Mayor Gyeongsangbuk-do Cho In-su stated that if the architect participates in the discussions broadly, they will do their best to find a practical resolution even in financially strained circumstances. The architect side plans to review the North Gyeongsang Province's proposal and announce their stance soon. Service Chief Park Chang-ho of the "Peaceful Construction of Islamic Cultural Center for Citizens" Executive Committee remarked that the suggested site has only one floor, equivalent to one-third of the current size, presenting a spatial limitation issue.
They are prioritizing the opinions of Muslim students. The Islamic Cultural Center conflict began in 2020, stemming from a request from residents. The Mayor's Office issued a construction suspension order, and the architect filed a lawsuit to overturn it, which was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2023, allowing construction to resume; however, after completing the construction according to the new site, they were once again ordered to halt construction due to discrepancies with the design plans.

- The heatwave is not just a temporary discomfort; it can have long-lasting effects on our bodies. Research has shown that a single episode of extreme heat can accelerate the biological aging process by as much as six months. This phenomenon is closely linked to climate change, which is causing temperatures to rise at an alarming rate. As the planet continues to warm up, the impact of heatwaves on human health is becoming increasingly evident. Heatwaves are not just a matter of discomfort; they can have serious consequences for our well-being. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to a range of health problems, from heat exhaustion to more severe conditions such as heatstroke. The biological clock, also known as the circadian rhythm, plays a crucial role in regulating our bodily functions. It is controlled by an intricate system that responds to light and darkness, and is influenced by external factors such as temperature and humidity. When we are exposed to extreme heat, our biological clock can get disrupted, leading to a range of physiological changes. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to heat can lead to increased inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage. These changes can accelerate the aging process, making us look and feel older than we actually are. In fact, research has shown that a single episode of extreme heat can increase biological age by as much as six months. The implications of this research are significant, particularly in the context of climate change. As temperatures continue to rise, we can expect to see more frequent and severe heatwaves. This means that we need to take urgent action to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect ourselves from the impacts of extreme heat. The Korean government has launched a series of initiatives to address the challenges posed by climate change. The Ministry of Environment has introduced a heatwave warning system, which provides early warnings to vulnerable populations such as the elderly and young children. The government has also launched a public awareness campaign to educate people on the risks associated with heatwaves and the steps they can take to protect themselves. In addition to these efforts, researchers are working to develop new technologies and strategies to mitigate the effects of heatwaves. For example, some scientists are exploring the use of cool roofs and green spaces to reduce urban heat islands. Others are developing new materials and systems that can help to keep buildings cool during extreme heat. As the world grapples with the challenges posed by climate change, it is clear that we need to take a proactive approach to protecting ourselves from the impacts of extreme heat. By working together, we can reduce the risks associated with heatwaves and create a more sustainable future for all. hani.co.kr
