The youth assistant group of 40 members and the research group of 30 members will be recruited from the 16th of this month until the 13th of next month.

Until June next year, the participation group will conduct walking tours, discussions, small group activities, and workshops to express opinions on the Yongsan Park development plan proposed by the winner of the 2012 international competition, and ultimately draft a national recommendation.

The participation group will discuss four topics: Yongsan Park identity, development of ideas for ecological, historical, and cultural use programs of Yongsan Park, discovery of agendas from the local community perspective, and exploration of ways to utilize historical and cultural heritage around Yongsan Park.
