[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho) announced that it will designate the 2020 district administration goal as "Living District Administration" and focus on changes in residents' daily lives.


Including Mayor Seoyangho of Jung-gu, directors, department and neighborhood chiefs, and facility officials visited public building construction sites, strategic projects and public service facilities, and places where they could directly engage with residents' lives to realize the Living District Administration.


The intention is to improve areas closely related to residents' lives by directly listening to vivid opinions on-site and seeing them with their own eyes.


Starting with the Cheonggu Artists' Housing (340-38 Sindang-dong) on the 7th, a total of about 30 site visits will continue until the end of this month.


In particular, Mayor Seo carefully inspected facilities that local residents can quickly feel firsthand, such as the restrooms at Cheonggu Children's Park, restroom at Exit 1 of Cheonggu Station, and Sindang Village Square, showing keen interest.


He emphasized that most of the residents' demands he met while commuting on foot during his 1 year and 7 months in office were related to daily life issues such as cleaning, parking, and park management, and declared his focus on Living District Administration.


He did not overlook the sites where the education and care seeds that Jung-gu carefully planted last year will take root.


He toured the construction site of the Youth Training Center, where the Jung-gu All Children Yaksu Center and Yaksu Small Library are being built, and closely examined the operation status of the Career and Job Experience Support Center, which will move to the newly completed Sindang-dong Complex Building. He also visited the site of the public parking lot in Donghwa-dong, where the Education Support Center, scheduled for completion at the end of March, will be established, encouraging the officials.


He also visited sites matching the cultural city Jung-gu, which the district has set as a strategic task. These include Cheonggu Artists' Housing, Malli Artists' Housing, and private shared cultural facilities such as Euljiro Ludens and the Paradise Planning Exhibition Hall in Jangchung-dong. He listens attentively to artists' voices to blossom all aspects of residents' lives into everyday culture and arts.


Additionally, he plans to visit resident activity groups such as the Sindang-dong Preliminary Village Enterprise, reading clubs, study clubs, and health walking clubs to have various conversations.


Before Lunar New Year, he will visit Inhyeon, Sinjungbu, Baekhak, Jungang, and Yaksu markets to encourage merchants and focus on promoting projects to revitalize small business alley markets.



Mayor Seoyangho of Jung-gu said, "If 2019 was a year to lay the foundation for education and care, 2020 will be a year to focus on Living District Administration closely related to residents' daily lives and make groundbreaking improvements to the inconveniences residents usually feel." He added, "This year, I will continue to commute on foot, meet residents, and be a mayor who listens to everyday stories," reaffirming his determination.
