Sejong-si Expands Construction Sites Applying 'Resident Participation Supervisor System'

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City is expanding the number of construction sites subject to the Resident Participation Supervisory System. The Resident Participation Supervisory System is a program introduced last year in which qualified resident representatives (appointed) continuously oversee construction sites within the region.

On the 21st, the city announced that the number of construction sites under the Resident Participation Supervisory System will be expanded from 57 last year to 95 this year.

Starting this year, the scope will also be expanded from just eup, myeon, and dong areas to all construction sites, and participation in supervision will be mandatory at least five times. Major target projects include village road paving and drainage maintenance projects, which are resident-requested projects in eup, myeon, and dong areas.

Resident participation supervisors observe the construction process from groundbreaking to completion at the construction site, monitor illegal or unfair activities, and listen to opinions and difficulties from village residents to propose and reflect them to the city.

The city will accept applications for resident participation supervisors at the eup, myeon, and dong community centers where the construction sites are located from the 22nd of this month to the 5th of next month.

After receiving applications, selected resident participation supervisors will be appointed and receive job training, and will be deployed to the sites starting in March.

For more detailed information, please refer to the city hall website.

Park Hyung-guk, head of the city accounting department, said, “The Resident Participation Supervisory System is a program that reflects residents’ opinions and allows residents to directly manage and supervise construction.” He added, “It is meaningful in that it expands opportunities for local residents to participate in city administration and helps resolve inconveniences experienced by residents during the construction process.”
