[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) is set to actively promote the ‘Doksan Jugong Complex 13 Welfare Facility and Shared Home Complex Construction Project,’ which has been underway since 2017 through a joint agreement with LH Corporation.

The ‘Doksan Jugong Complex 13 Welfare Facility and Shared Home Complex Construction Project’ is a project to build a medical, welfare, and residential complex facility in the Doksan 1-dong branch area, where there is only one medical institution, in collaboration with LH Corporation.

To this end, the district signed a joint agreement with LH Corporation in November 2017 and completed the final project consultation on the 3rd of this month.

Geumcheon-gu and LH Corporation plan to utilize the site of the fitness center next to the district-run Haeyahe Childcare Center in the Doksan 1-dong branch area to construct a complex facility for public medical services with a total floor area of 2,314㎡, spanning from one basement level to seven above-ground floors by 2023.

At the beginning of the project, to address safety concerns, noise, and sunlight obstruction complaints raised by nearby childcare centers and residents, the district gathered opinions through meetings with childcare parents and resident briefings. Based on this, several coordination meetings with LH Corporation were held to reflect the district’s views and residents’ demands.

In particular, the district actively requested that the Doksan 1-dong Community Service Center branch office for civil affairs be placed on the first floor of the complex building to alleviate inconveniences for vulnerable health groups.

Accordingly, LH Corporation resolved complaints by increasing the distance from the childcare center to over 20 meters and accepted all of the district’s opinions, providing the land free of charge. It was finalized that the first floor would house the Doksan 1-dong Community Service Center civil affairs branch, the second and third floors would be for the health clinic, the fourth and fifth floors for the daycare center, and the sixth and seventh floors for the shared home.

With the project consultation with LH Corporation completed, the district expects the project to accelerate, aiming for completion in June 2023 after approval of the project plan changes and detailed design this year.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “With the successful conclusion of consultations with LH Corporation, we have not only resolved complaints from nearby residents but also achieved the significant outcome of attracting the Doksan 1-dong Community Service Center civil affairs branch, a long-standing wish of residents in the Doksan 1-dong branch area.” He added, “We will accelerate the project to eliminate health disparities in the Doksan 1-dong branch area, where vulnerable health groups are concentrated.”
