[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) held an on-site executive meeting on the 20th at Doseong Village, Yulchon-myeon, with the participation of about 20 residents to devise measures against livestock odor.

Mayor Kwon inspected the livestock manure joint treatment facility in Doseong Village around 9 a.m. that day, received a report on the manure treatment process from the local branch chief and related department heads, and discussed odor resolution measures and village living condition improvements with four resident representatives including the village chief.

The main issues discussed that day included 10 projects: ▶ Improvement of livestock manure joint treatment facilities ▶ Modernization of livestock barn facilities ▶ Inspection of livestock manure discharge facilities ▶ Village sewage system maintenance project ▶ Floating solar power installation project ▶ Slate removal and roof improvement ▶ Vacant house maintenance ▶ Improvement of rural village landscapes ▶ Rural vulnerable area living condition renovation contest project ▶ Monitoring of industrial complex odor and air pollution. Practical and feasible measures were derived and residents’ opinions were also collected.

To build public consensus, a live broadcast of the on-site meeting was conducted on the Facebook page Yeosu Iyagi via SNS.

To improve living conditions in Doseong Village, the city has been operating a TF team with eight related departments since October last year, but to strengthen the cooperation system and execution power going forward, it was decided to hold weekly meetings every Wednesday led by the vice mayor until visible results are achieved.

The meetings will be comprehensively supported by the Director of the Planning and Economy Bureau, and the person responsible for practical work will be upgraded from manager level to director level.

Mayor Kwon said, “We are exploring various solutions with residents and related livestock farmers to resolve the livestock manure odor problem in Doseong Village,” adding, “It is most important that residents resolve internal conflicts and show a united will to push forward.”

Meanwhile, Mayor Kwon Oh-bong received six requests from residents at the Doseong Village Sarangbang roundtable in February last year, including designation of the national industrial complex as an odor management area, reinforcement of senior citizen center functions, and remodeling of the Doseong Village Hall. Among these, two have been completed and the rest are being actively promoted.
