[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo County received the Excellence Award in the Landscape Administration category (Director Award of the Architecture and Urban Space Research Institute) at the ‘Korea Land Grand Prize’ hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

According to Jindo County on the 23rd, the Village Beautification Project won the Excellence Award in the Landscape Administration category at the ‘2020 Korea Land Grand Prize,’ which boasts the highest prestige in the fields of land, city, and landscape, and recently received the Director Award of the Architecture and Urban Space Research Institute at the award ceremony.

The ‘Korea Land Grand Prize,’ jointly hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements, is in its 12th year this year and is the most prestigious event in the related field that discovers creative cases that have improved landscape design in land and urban spaces.

Jindo County’s Village Beautification Project is a resident-led initiative that improved the landscape of all 242 villages in Jindo County from 2017 to 2019, enhancing the quality of life for residents.

In the first phase of the project, 6.2 billion KRW was invested to promote fence maintenance, murals, small parks, and flower road creation, building tourism resources by preserving village legends, history, and traditions based on residents’ voluntary participation.

Jindo County plans to promote roof landscape improvements through the second phase of the Village Beautification Project from 2020 to 2022.

An official from Jindo County’s Regional Development Division said, “The Village Beautification Project, which we have been devoted to, received excellent evaluation from a prestigious institution’s review,” and added, “The Excellence Award in the Landscape Administration category was possible because the residents of Jindo County actively participated and worked hard to maintain all 242 villages.”
