In Wonju, Gangwon Province, the holiday season has seen a rise in 'alpakki' — long-term occupation of public parking lots and campsites by tents and campers. At the Chilbong Recreation Area parking lot, two campers have been parked since June, while the closed Seomgang Dukkeobi Auto Camping site is also illegally occupied. Local authorities lack legal grounds for forced removal or penalties, except on beaches where recent amendments allow removal without administrative procedures. Concerns grow that displaced 'alpakki' may shift to riverside areas.

Authorities in Yuzhnoukrainsk have banned long-term parking of motorhomes and caravans in city areas. The decision follows complaints from residents that campers occupy parking spots for weeks, hindering other drivers. Violators face fines.
