[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province and Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) recently held a signing ceremony for the 'Jungdong Deokyu Village Complex 1 Urban Regeneration Recognition Project' and signed a basic agreement to establish community care infrastructure and improve the environment of rental commercial spaces.

According to the city on the 16th, Deokyu Village Complex 1 is an area densely populated with aging apartment complexes where many elderly and disabled residents live, resulting in high demand for various welfare and health services, making it necessary to maintain and expand living SOC (Social Overhead Capital).

Accordingly, the city decided to create a community center within Deokyu Complex 1 to provide welfare services and support the revitalization of the local community.

The integrated care community center will have a total floor area of 3,332㎡, with one basement floor and three above-ground floors. It will be constructed with a total project cost of approximately 6.7 billion KRW, including 3.33 billion KRW in national funds and 670 million KRW in provincial funds. It will be used jointly by residents and local community members.

Welfare facilities for residents will include a cafe-style library and a shared kitchen. In addition to a one-stop counseling desk providing emergency support linkage services, a local care center for residents requiring care and a care management room offering rehabilitation programs will also be operated.

A mutually beneficial commercial space utilizing social economy organizations will also be operated.

Jang Deokcheon, mayor of Bucheon City, said, "This project was applied for last month to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and as LH and Bucheon City have closely cooperated and worked hard, we expect good results." He added, "We hope to build an integrated care center based on this agreement and provide improved welfare services to local residents."
