Recently, slate roof renovations and home repairs for 23 households have been carried out, and the village's landscape is being renewed through maintenance of village paths and stone wall construction.

The Saeteul Village project in Sodang·Docheong District, Nohwa-eup, was selected in last year's contest, and the project was planned by collecting residents' opinions, with a total budget of 2.3 billion KRW including national funds.

The basic plan has been completed, and the project is currently in the detailed design stage, with plans to continue the project until next year.

The Saeteul Village project in Sodang·Docheong District, Nohwa-eup aims to improve residents' quality of life and create a vibrant village through resident capacity building and human care projects, promoting the construction of parking lots, remodeling of the village hall, stone wall maintenance, and expansion of village paths.
