In the Post-Corona Era, What Kind of Rental Housing Community Do Citizens Desire?

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH Corporation) announced on the 16th that it successfully concluded the 'SH Rental Housing Residents' Income Generation and Community Revitalization Ideas and Cases Citizen Contest' and held an awards ceremony on the afternoon of the 15th.

Through this contest, SH Corporation selected four outstanding works, including the 'Green Light in My Heart App,' from a total of 247 proposals submitted. The final selection was made by a panel of judges composed of internal and external experts of the corporation.

Reflecting the post-COVID-19 era, many participating citizens proposed various mobile-based online community activities. The 'Green Light in My Heart App,' which won the excellence award, also utilized an untact (contactless) method. It proposed the development of an app to activate communication among the younger generation pursuing 'Gachwi-gwan' (light preference-based relationships) centered around their residential areas, receiving high scores.

'Project Contact,' which suggested creating a resident-exclusive channel using an already active video platform and sharing life stories and various information produced directly by residents to promote communication, also won a joint excellence award.

Additionally, the 'Home Decorating Challenge,' which proposed activating online communication and improving the image of rental housing through an event where residents post photos of their decorated rental housing interiors on personal SNS, and the 'Handmade Green Project,' which proposed the production and sale of eco-friendly products through the connection between social enterprises and residents, received high evaluations from the judges and were adopted as encouragement awards.

An SH Corporation official stated, "We plan to discuss the institutionalization of the winning works through consultations among residents, related departments, and the customer satisfaction (CS) department, and then prepare implementation plans."
