The scene of the SH Citizen Shareholders Policy Debate.

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] The SH Citizens' Shareholders Group, the official citizen communication body of Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH Corporation), proposed transforming Seoul into a citizen-safe city in preparation for the 'post-COVID-19' era.

According to SH Corporation on the 29th, the SH Citizens' Shareholders Group policy debate was held on the 26th. The topics were 'Improvement Plans for the Quality of Life of Public Rental Housing Residents' and 'The Role of SH Corporation in the Post-COVID-19 Era.' The policy debate, conducted in a roundtable format, featured heated discussions and policy proposals among citizen shareholders.

The first discussion focused on 'Improvement Plans for the Quality of Life of Public Rental Housing Residents,' where citizen shareholders engaged in group discussions followed by a full discussion and online voting on key opinions. The proposals that received the highest support were ▲establishment of recreational facilities for residents' leisure activities ▲development of a bulletin board app to revitalize community groups by complex ▲expansion of mental counseling services. Citizen shareholder Jeong Sunhee suggested, “Along with recreational facilities for residents, let's link rural experiences and local food activation to revitalize rural areas around recreational facilities and create jobs.”

The second discussion topic, 'The Role of SH Corporation in the Post-COVID-19 Era,' involved group discussions followed by in-depth discussions by four subcommittees of the Citizens' Shareholders Group (Planning & Compensation, Design & Construction, Housing Supply, Facilities & Operations Management). They derived shareholder opinions such as ▲post-COVID-19 type complex design equipped with air showers, thermal sensors, and telecommuting environments ▲expansion of supply of safety and disaster prevention type public rental housing ▲construction and activation of communal living facilities within complexes. Professor Eunhee Lee of Seoul Women's University, attending the debate as a citizen shareholder, proposed, “SH Corporation should contribute to creating a pleasant and safe Seoul by actively utilizing green energy and expanding facilities for non-face-to-face services and quarantine prevention.”

Kim Seyong, President of SH Corporation, stated, “The SH Citizens' Shareholders Group, the first established by a public enterprise, has achieved various activities and results over the past year. The contents presented at the debate will be thoroughly reviewed and actively reflected in the corporation’s ongoing projects.” He added, “We will continue to strive to be an SH Corporation that always listens to the voices of citizens through communication with the SH Citizens' Shareholders Group.”

Meanwhile, this policy debate was made public through SH Corporation’s YouTube channel, Cheongsinho TV. The citizen shareholder proposals derived from the policy debate will be reviewed internally and incorporated into the corporation’s projects.
