[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 23rd that it will promptly conduct urban regeneration resident education through non-face-to-face online education in response to the global environmental changes caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The online education held on the 21st was the ‘Yongpyeong-ri Village Activists and Resident-led Autonomous Program Education,’ conducted in a professional studio located in Changwon City. Urban regeneration experts, Professor Yoo Jin-sang from Changwon National University and Professor Jeong Eun-hee from Gyeongnam National University, gave real-time lectures, followed by interactive live broadcasts including resident Q&A and mutual discussions.

This pilot non-face-to-face real-time online education will be improved by addressing its shortcomings, and in the future, programs targeting residents such as urban regeneration universities will be gradually expanded and implemented in a ‘non-face-to-face online format.’

Choi In-gi, head of the Safety City Division, stated, “In the COVID era, we judged that it was necessary to promote a new method of non-face-to-face online education instead of the existing education, which led to conducting this real-time video conference.”

Son Jae-hyun, director of the Urban Regeneration Support Center, said, “Although the online education introduced for the first time this time may be difficult for residents, considering the characteristics of the urban regeneration New Deal project that requires communication, it was conducted in real-time. We will complement the shortcomings of online education and expand its advantages.”

The county expects that this online urban regeneration education, as a changed educational method applied in a new environment, will become an opportunity to establish itself as the main form of education not only for urban regeneration but also for residents in the future.
