[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 8th that it will promote an old house repair project to improve the residential environment for the purpose of the ‘Samga-myeon Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.’


The Urban Regeneration New Deal Project is a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport public contest project promoted under the Special Act on Urban Regeneration, which was enacted to solve various urban problems caused by population decline, industrial decline, and deterioration of the residential environment, and to revitalize the original city.


The county applied for the contest after establishing the Samga-myeon Urban Regeneration Activation Plan, was selected in 2019, and has been promoting the Samga-myeon Urban Regeneration New Deal Project since 2020.


The target area for the old house repair project is old houses within the Samga-myeon Urban Regeneration Activation Zone. Ten percent of the construction cost is self-funded, and if the construction amount exceeds 10 million KRW, the excess amount is fully self-funded. The project targets the repair of exterior walls, windows, and roofs of old and deteriorated houses.


Starting this year, the county plans to invest 1.9 billion KRW over two years until 2022 to renovate about 200 buildings, beginning with old and deteriorated houses exposed to residential inconvenience, landscape degradation, and safety accident risks.



Moon Jun-hee, mayor of Hapcheon-gun, said, “The old house repair project of the Samga-myeon Urban Regeneration New Deal Project is a residential environment improvement project that residents can directly feel, and it is a project of high interest to residents.” He added, “The county will focus its capabilities on the urban regeneration project so that residents can actively participate in the urban regeneration project.”
