[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 26th that it will hold a public contest for citizen ideas regarding the newly created Gunmin Square (park) to be established along with the construction of the new government office building.

The new government office building is scheduled to be completed in the second half of next year, and the current government office building will be demolished to create Gunmin Square (park) in the same location.

The contest will be held from the 2nd to the 17th of next month, and anyone interested in the creation of Gunmin Square under the theme of "Creating a Happy Space for Citizens" can participate.

The contest categories include plaza space creation and utilization plans, cultural and artistic elements and sculptures that suit the sentiment of Haenam, and other creative ideas related to the plaza creation.

Submitted citizen ideas will undergo final evaluation by a judging committee separately formed from the working department’s review panel. If selected as excellent proposals, the ideas will be reflected in the basic plan for the creation of Gunmin Square along with a prize (Haenam Love Gift Certificate).

Participation involves downloading the form from the Haenam-gun website, writing a proposal, and submitting it via email or mail. The results will be announced in April.

Additionally, the county will conduct a resident survey to collect diverse opinions from citizens.

The survey forms are available at the town and township offices or can be downloaded from the county website. Participants can also conveniently join via mobile by accessing through the QR code.

A Haenam-gun official stated, “To establish the basic plan for the plaza (park) creation, we will communicate with citizens to ensure it becomes a future-oriented cultural complex space that harmonizes with the new government office building, and we will do our best in the plaza (park) creation.” They also asked for much interest and participation.

Meanwhile, the Haenam-gun new government office building will have a total floor area of 18,601㎡, with one basement floor and seven above-ground floors, and is scheduled for completion in June 2021.
