Gimcheon-si, 2040 Urban Master Plan Establishment 'Citizen Survey' ... Until the End of December

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gimcheon City, Gyeongbuk announced on the 1st that it will conduct a citizen survey until the end of December to establish the 2040 Gimcheon Urban Master Plan.

This survey will be conducted through written questionnaires and online targeting all citizens. The main items include about 30 key indicators forming the basis of urban administration, such as Gimcheon's future vision, spatial structure and living zones, housing, transportation, tourism, and industrial economy sectors.

To participate, citizens can fill out the questionnaire available at the City Hall Civil Service Office and the Eup, Myeon, and Dong Community Centers and submit it. Participation is also possible online by accessing the city’s official website.

In October and November, Gimcheon City also appointed a large-scale citizen participation group consisting of 69 citizens from various sectors, who discussed the city's future vision and strategic tasks for a month, resulting in the urban future vision of "Gimcheon, a city where you want to live with advanced technology and tradition in three major families."

Based on the results of this survey and the achievements made by the previous citizen participation group, the city plans to prepare the 2040 Gimcheon Urban Master Plan (draft) and, starting next year, establish a citizen-participatory urban master plan through administrative procedures such as public hearings and the Urban Planning Committee.

A Gimcheon City official stated, "To build a city where all citizens are happy, it is necessary not to have a top-down plan centered on officials in the past, but active expression of opinions and participation by citizens," and asked for citizens' interest and cooperation.
