[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Changwon National University announced on the 20th that it has transferred the technology of the results of the ‘Student-led Urban Regeneration Project,’ conducted to revitalize the urban regeneration of the ‘Changwon-si Guam District,’ a local urban regeneration New Deal project area, to the Changwon City Urban Regeneration Support Center.

The ‘Guam District Village Festival Planning Team,’ conducting a regional collaboration project under the Changwon National University LINC+ Project Group, is composed of students from departments participating in the LINC+ Project Group. The team was divided into festival planning, content planning, design planning, and promotion planning teams, developing unique festival items that can revitalize the commercial district of Guam-dong and represent the village together with local residents.

In particular, the design planning team, composed of students from the Department of Industrial Design at Changwon National University, created the village character ‘Gubugi,’ reflecting storytelling about Guam-dong and actively incorporating residents’ opinions.

The proposal report meeting of the village festival planning team, held for the Guam District Urban Regeneration Residents’ Council, received great responses, and a design application was filed to protect the design of the Guam village character.

The technology transfer ceremony was attended by Kim Soon-ho, head of the Technology Management Center at Changwon National University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation; Jo Hyung-gyu, head of the Changwon City Guam District Urban Regeneration Field Support Center; and Kim Young-sik, chairman of the Guam District Urban Regeneration Residents’ Council. A project to support the efficient use of the village character ‘Gubugi’ in the Guam District Urban Regeneration New Deal project and to make it a representative character of Guam-dong will also be promoted.

Yoon Hyun-kyu, head of the Changwon National University LINC+ Project Group, said, “We will activate the local community urban regeneration New Deal project through support of the university’s human and material infrastructure and will continue to provide more support in the future.”
