Three Apartment Complexes in Nam-gu, Gwangju Selected for 'Overflowing Jeong' and Livable Community Spirit

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) has selected three apartment complexes in the district as excellent multi-family housing complexes for leading the realization of residential communities through efficient management of multi-family housing, protecting residents' rights, and improving the treatment of apartment security guards.

.

On the 4th, Nam-gu held the ‘2019 Multi-family Housing Management Excellence Complex Awards Ceremony’ and announced that Hyochon LH Cheonnyeonnamu 3 Complex in Haengam-dong, which worked to spread residential community culture and create a better apartment culture last year, won the grand prize, while Bongseon-dong Namhae Onet and Baegun Humansia 3 Complex each received excellence awards.

The grand prize-winning complex, Hyochon LH Cheonnyeonnamu 3 Complex in Haengam-dong, disclosed the status of long-term repair reserve fund usage, private contracts, and various construction-related contracts to residents through its homepage, and provided a study room within the residents' communal facilities to offer a learning space for job seekers and students in the complex.

Additionally, to improve the treatment and respect the human rights of non-regular workers such as apartment security guards and cleaners, the management regulations were revised, hot water boilers and rest areas were installed, and fluorescent lights in the underground parking lot and residents' convenience facilities were replaced with LEDs, achieving a reduction in electricity usage by about 51% compared to the previous year.

Furthermore, the complex combined the 5th-anniversary ‘Cheonnyeonnamu Residents’ Festival’ with a human rights cultural festival, allowing residents outside the apartment complex to participate and fostering a warm residential community culture.

The Namhae Onet Apartment Complex in Bongseon-dong held tea parties for residents aged 65 and older within the complex and strengthened bonds by operating dance clubs two to three times a week to guarantee leisure activities for residents.

Also, to reduce management costs of residents' communal facilities, electricity fees and maintenance costs were not collectively charged to all residents but individually charged to users based on the user-pays principle, thereby reducing communal facility management fees. To improve the working environment for security guards, air conditioners, refrigerators, and TVs were provided.

At Baegun Humansia 3 Complex, a communication channel was operated to resolve conflicts among residents caused by noise between floors and parking space issues within the complex, and a local children's center was established to provide various experiential learning opportunities and emotional development support for children from dual-income and single-parent families.

In addition, cultural classes for residents and a children's play festival were held, and residents themselves maintained and managed the trees and flower beds within the complex, reducing management costs and creating a pleasant residential environment.

Moreover, to guarantee security guards' rest time and address the difficulties of cleaners and security guards, frequent meetings and shared meals between the management office and the concerned parties have been actively conducted to promote communication at the dining table.

A Nam-gu official said, “We will do our best to manage multi-family housing in the district so that a warm residential community culture full of love and affection among neighbors can spread.”
