[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Namwon City Community Support Center recently held the '2020 Village Planning Group' launching ceremony with about 60 residents attending from Geumdong and Dotong-dong.

The Village Planning Group was formed to promote voluntary local development by preparing resident-led development plans through examining the unique characteristics and resources of each neighborhood and collecting residents' opinions in preparation for the era of autonomy.

At the launching ceremony, an overview and promotion plan of the Village Planning Group were introduced, followed by a special lecture on 'Resident Autonomy and Village Planning' by Kim Hasaeng, CEO of the Traditional Culture Contents Research Institute.

The content consisted of finding necessary tasks in the village through residents' voluntary participation, creating concrete execution plans for village agendas selected through a joint deliberation process, and leading them into community activities of the residents.

Lee Gyuyong, director of Namwon City Community Support Center, said, "The Village Planning Group being conducted this time will be an opportunity to capture the network of various capacity communities through activities where individual residents talk about the difficulties or problems they feel in our village, find and fill what is needed, and change together."
