Jangsu-gun’s ‘Jangpancheon’ Wins Commendation Award for Beautiful Small Stream Development

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Go Dallyoung] Jangsu-gun announced on the 18th that Jangsu Jangpancheon received the Encouragement Award in the '2020 Safe and Beautiful Small Stream Maintenance National Contest' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and will receive additional national funding for disaster prevention projects in 2021.

In this contest, the county participated under the theme "Leisurely strolling along Jangpancheon, a healing space flowing like water, where history and culture harmonize," and received the Ministerial Commendation for individuals and local governments.

From 2016 to 2019, 3.2 billion KRW was invested over four years to carry out phased maintenance projects on a 1.3 km section of Jangpan small stream, achieving disaster safety for the small stream and improving residential conditions through revolutionary maintenance of downstream farmland and midstream settlements.

In particular, the stream maintenance highlighted the beautiful stream harmonizing history and nature, and resident-led activities such as picking up trash along the stream, mowing grass, and planting flowers and trees are being carried out, earning high praise for the resident-driven efforts to create a pleasant walking stream.

Jang Young-su, the county governor, said, "Through small stream maintenance, we have achieved great effects not only in ensuring safety from natural disasters and beautifying the stream but also in improving residents' living conditions," and added, "We will continue to make every effort to secure additional national budgets for the construction of a 'Land of Prosperous Future, Strong Jangsu.'"
