Promoting the Vision of 'Wando, a Marine Healing City Connecting the Sea and People'
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 8th that as a result of focusing on this year's Urban Regeneration New Deal project contest, it was selected for 11 contest projects, securing a total of 40.4 billion KRW, and will promote the project under the vision of ‘Wando, a Marine Healing City Connecting the Sea and People.’
The main projects include the Wando Central Village Urban Regeneration New Deal project, Urban Regeneration Recognition Project, Vulnerable Area Living Condition Improvement Project, Regional Demand Customized Support Project, Regional Revitalization Project, and Small-scale Regeneration Project.
The Wando Central Village (Jungang, Judo, Seoseong, Yongam-ri) Urban Regeneration Project (13.4 billion KRW) was finally selected in the ‘2020 Urban Regeneration New Deal Contest Project’ promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. It will improve residential environments and create a healthy local community by developing cooperative stores in Jungang Market, historical and cultural theme streets, house repair projects, and constructing the Happiness Harmony Center.
With the selection of the Urban Regeneration Recognition Project (4 billion KRW), the old Wando Cultural Center, which had been used as a cultural and artistic space for 30 years but became a vacant space after relocation and reconstruction in 2013, can be transformed into a space for children and residents.
The first floor will have a children's imagination playground, the second floor an emotional healing playground, and the third floor a community space with an outdoor terrace and starlight park, providing residents with a space for healing.
The Living Condition Improvement Project (4.2 billion KRW) targeting Hang-dong-ri was selected in the National Balanced Development Committee contest. It will establish living infrastructure such as opening communication paths and sewage system maintenance, which are long-standing wishes of village residents, and promote residential environment improvement projects including safety facilities and old house repairs.
The Regional Demand Customized Support Project (2.5 billion KRW) in Noduri will promote projects such as alley expansion, elderly-friendly pedestrian environment improvement, sewage maintenance for spaces with foul odors from domestic wastewater, and opening communication paths connecting neighboring villages to ensure residents' convenience in daily life.
Small-scale regeneration projects are underway targeting Hang-dong-ri (340 million KRW), Jungang-ri (400 million KRW), and Yongam-ri (200 million KRW), and a seawater foot bath facility (200 million KRW) has been installed at the Seaweed Center in the beach park.
In addition, projects such as the expansion of Dadohae Sunrise Park (5 billion KRW), construction of a multipurpose parking lot (6 billion KRW), and creation of Garipo Sunset Road (4 billion KRW) are being promoted.
Wando-gun's urban regeneration projects will be continuously promoted by region and phase, targeting six areas including the central region Wando-eup (Jungang, Hang-dong, Noduri), Gunoe-myeon (Wondong-ri), the eastern region Geumil-eup (Gammok-ri), and the western region Nohwa-eup (Imok-ri).
Going forward, according to the priority of revitalization areas in the long-term plan for the Urban Regeneration New Deal project, Geumil-eup and Nohwa-eup will pursue general neighborhood-type projects, while Gunoe-myeon, Noduri, and Hang-dong-ri will promote resident-led ‘Save Our Neighborhood’ projects.
