[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that its "Family Center Construction" project was selected in the 2021 Living SOC Complex Project competition hosted by the Office for Government Policy Coordination.

Wando-gun had been using private facilities (church annex buildings) due to the absence of a family center, and experienced inconvenience as the limited space could not meet the demand of users.

Especially, due to the regional characteristics formed by islands and the underdevelopment of education, culture, and medical services, young people have been migrating to cities. With the diversification of family types such as multicultural families, dual-income families, and single-person households, there was an urgent need to strengthen family services and establish a center capable of professionally promoting related projects.

With the selection in this competition, a total project cost of 3 billion KRW will be invested to build the "Wando-gun Family Center," a facility that combines family service center functions with a care center.

The Wando-gun Family Center will be a four-story building with a total area of 1,360㎡, scheduled for completion in 2022.

Inside the family center, customized services for various families such as healthy families and multicultural families will be provided, along with counseling and communication spaces for counseling, education, and care support according to the life cycle of family members. A shared childcare space and a family playground will also be established.

A Wando-gun official stated, "The Living SOC complex is not simply a physical combination of multiple facilities in one place, but we will do our best to promote the project so that it can be developed into a living innovation space where local residents form a community through various activities and interactions, realizing social values."
