The National Residents' Autonomy Expo is a nationwide event hosted by the Open Society Citizens' Coalition, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and local governments. Since 2001, it has discovered and awarded excellent cases of residents' autonomy (committee) meetings at the eup, myeon, and dong levels, contributing to creating an environment for revitalizing residents' autonomy.

At this year's National Residents' Autonomy Expo, among 309 cases nationwide, 68 cases were selected as excellent cases through the first document screening and the second interview screening, and the award level was finally decided in the third evaluation.

As a result of the final evaluation, Mok 1-dong and Mok 2-dong in Yangcheon-gu were honored to receive the grand prize in the two fields of regional revitalization and learning communities, respectively.

Mok 1-dong received excellent evaluations for projects such as "Creating a Universal Village," which is convenient for all socially vulnerable groups in the regional revitalization field, and the "Youth Participation Idle Space Discovery and Operation Project" to overcome youth alienation caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and high youth unemployment rates.

Mok 2-dong received excellent evaluations in the learning community field for various community projects utilizing the Eoullim Shelter and Yongwangsan Forest Vitality Center, the "Electronic Document System for Autonomous Community Center Course Registration" introduced in 18 administrative dongs of Yangcheon-gu, and the untact learning platform project "ON通 (Tong) Home Playground."

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "As a result of the passion and efforts of the residents' autonomy committee members who strive to realize the desirable value of residents' autonomy, our district has not only placed in the National Residents' Autonomy Expo for four consecutive years but also achieved the valuable result of winning the grand prize in two fields this year. Next year, we will do our best to successfully promote the residents' autonomy councils, which will expand to 11 dongs, so that the 'Yangcheon-type' residents' autonomy can be realized and further developed."
