Jangseong-gun's 'Yellow City Architectural Design Support Project' Draws Attention from Residents' Participation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do is attracting attention as residents actively participate in the 'Yellow City Architectural Design Support Project,' which is being implemented for the first time this year.

Jangseong-gun has been promoting the 'Yellow City Color Marketing,' inspired by the Hwangryong River, redesigning the city in yellow, symbolizing the wealth and happiness of its residents. In February, the county launched the 'Yellow City Architectural Design Support Project' for the first time, supporting residents who wish to incorporate the 'Yellow City' design into privately owned buildings.

The main point of the project is to provide support for painting costs for private buildings with a total floor area of 200㎡ (60 pyeong) or more.

The support amount varies depending on the size of the building. Small-scale buildings with a painting area between 100㎡ and less than 300㎡ are supported up to 3 million KRW, while medium to large buildings with a painting area of 300㎡ or more are supported up to 4 million KRW.

The county began the application process in February, recently completed the selection of support recipients, and is currently notifying individuals of the results.

Following a flood of inquiries even after the application deadline, Jangseong-gun decided to proceed with a second phase of the project and quickly secured a budget of 80 million KRW through the supplementary budget in March.

The second project application is scheduled to take place at the end of this month, and eligibility is limited to owners of buildings located within the county.

The project proceeds in the order of support recipient selection → mutual landscape agreement signing → design consultation → painting work implementation → subsidy support.

Yoo Doo-seok, the mayor of Jangseong-gun, stated, “‘Yellow City Jangseong,’ which has been the first local government nationwide to promote color marketing, will transform into a more pleasant and beautiful region through ‘governance’ that designs the city together with its residents.”
