[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) held the 'Jungnang-gu Resident Autonomy Committee Member Appointment and Launch Ceremony' on the 20th at 3 PM in the district office auditorium, with about 300 attendees including appointed Resident Autonomy Committee members.

This launch ceremony was organized to appoint members of the Resident Autonomy Committees for the five pilot neighborhoods and to celebrate and encourage the beginning of resident autonomy and public-private cooperation through the Resident Autonomy Committees.

The event began with a congratulatory performance by the Sangbong 2-dong folk song class team, followed by ▲a progress report on the Resident Autonomy Committee ▲presentation of appreciation plaques to the pilot neighborhoods ▲issuance of appointment letters to new Resident Autonomy Committee members ▲and the reading of the Resident Autonomy Committee members' declaration of practice.

Last year, the district revised the ordinance supporting Resident Autonomy Committees and selected five neighborhoods (Myeonmok 4-dong, Myeonmok 7-dong, Sangbong 1-dong, Muk 1-dong, and Sinnae 1-dong) as pilot neighborhoods to promote the Resident Autonomy Committee pilot project.

Additionally, from November 5 to December 9, 2019, a Resident Autonomy School was operated to provide education on resident participation policies and Resident Autonomy Committee projects. Based on this, up to 50 residents per neighborhood, totaling 231 members, were selected through a public lottery to form the Resident Autonomy Committees. Their term is two years, from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021.

??The newly formed Resident Autonomy Committees are resident representative organizations with autonomous authority, responsible for establishing autonomy plans, entrusting and consulting on administrative affairs, and proposing resident participation budgets. They aim to strengthen residents' autonomy in solving local issues and to spread a resident-led participation culture, leading the realization of grassroots democracy.
