Gwangju Dong-gu Ensures Administrative Support for Grand Central Residents' Convenience

Gyerim 8 District to Move In September... Improvement Plans for Living Environment Established Through TF Team Operation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) is making every effort to provide administrative support, including forming and operating a TF team to improve the surrounding living environment before the move-in of residents of Gwangju Grand Central Apartment, scheduled for September.

According to Dong-gu on the 23rd, the TF team, formed last August under the special directive of Mayor Im Taek, is currently operating under the chairmanship of the Director of the Urban Management Bureau. At the meeting held that day, they discussed the review opinions and action plans of each responsible department regarding 24 suggestions requested by the residents.

The residents' suggestions are broadly categorized into environmental maintenance around the apartment such as repaving fire roads, reducing odors from sewage manholes, installing parking and security CCTV, and regulating gambling game centers; securing convenience facilities such as early opening of libraries and installation of electric vehicle charging stations; and improving traffic environments for residents.

In particular, considering that about 60% of the residents are in their 30s and 40s with children in kindergarten and elementary school, Dong-gu is making great efforts to secure safe school routes from the apartment to nearby Junghung Elementary School and Junghung Elementary School Attached Kindergarten.

Additionally, Dong-gu plans to produce and distribute a guidebook that allows residents to easily view district information (culture and sports, welfare, moving-in, living information, etc.) while preparing measures to improve the living environment of residents.

Along with this, the number of pre-inspection personnel for residents has been increased from one to three, and the schedule extended from three to five days, striving to enhance resident convenience through active communication with residents.

Mayor Im Taek of Dong-gu said, “Recently, Dong-gu was selected as the happiest city in the Honam region on the ‘Korea Happiness Map’ released by Statistics Korea. We will wholeheartedly prepare so that the apartment residents can have a good first impression of Dong-gu.” He added, “In the process, we will carefully ensure that the existing surrounding original residents do not feel alienated, creating a city where all local people are happy.”
