Yeosu City Holds Neighborhood Forum to Revitalize 'Yeomun Cultural Street' in Yeoseo and Munsu-dong

Yeoseo and Munsu Lovers "Putting Heads Together to Solve Local Issues"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 27th, it was announced that the group "People Who Love Yeoseo and Munsu," composed of the heads of the residents' autonomy committees and resident representatives of Yeoseo and Munsu-dong, held a forum on the 25th at the Yeoseo-dong Community Center's main conference room under the theme "Our Role in Revitalizing the Yeomun Cultural Street."

This forum was organized to find ways for resident participation following the promotion of the Yeomun District revitalization project, to gather opinions for solving local issues, and to seek alternatives.

On the day, the presenters started with Kim Myung-geun, team leader of the Urban Regeneration Division of Yeosu City, who spoke on "Final Promotion of the Yeomun Cultural Street Creation Project," followed by Kim Kyung-soo, head of the Munsu-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee, who presented on "Current Status and Revitalization Plans of Yeomun District," and Kim Mi-jung, a cultural tourism commentator, who discussed "The Direction Regional Festivals Should Take."

Due to the elevation to Level 2 social distancing measures for COVID-19, the forum was conducted strictly adhering to quarantine guidelines, including participation by only the essential minimum number of people, maintaining distance between participants, temperature checks, and disinfection.

A resident representative who participated in the forum said, "To solve our local problems and create a livable village, the interest of local residents is more necessary than anyone else," adding, "This forum became an opportunity to realize true resident autonomy centered on the residents and laid the foundation for revitalizing the Yeomun Cultural Street."

Meanwhile, the group "People Who Love Yeoseo and Munsu" previously issued a joint statement on the 16th of last month urging the prompt implementation of the Yeomun District revitalization project, which involves a total investment of 62 billion KRW by Yeosu City. The project includes the comprehensive maintenance of Yeomun Park, creation of Yeomun Cultural Street, acquisition of Munsu Government Office for the establishment of the Jeonnam Viewer Media Center and Youth Community Center, and relocation of the Jungbu Health Branch.
