[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chaehyun Il) opened the "Friendly Village Counseling Center" on the 15th.

This is to provide consultation and consulting services to residents who wish to apply for the village community project.

The village community project is a program where residents themselves propose and implement necessary projects for the village to form a community within the urban area. Any resident group or organization of three or more people living or working in the district can apply.

The application categories are ▲ Activation of community meetings ▲ COVID-19 agenda resolution, totaling two categories.

If the project focuses on building relationships among neighbors, it should apply under the community meeting activation category; if it aims to solve various problems arising from the COVID-19 situation, it should apply under the COVID-19 agenda resolution category.

The application period is from March 2 to March 8, until 6 p.m. Applications can be submitted online through the Seoul Village Community Comprehensive Support Center website.

The total support budget is 84 million KRW, and selected projects will receive support ranging from a minimum of 2 million KRW to a maximum of 5 million KRW per group.

Additionally, from the 15th of this month to March 5, the district will operate the visiting consulting program "Friendly Village Counseling Center" to support residents' participation in the village community project.

If residents have any questions about the village community project or need help during the application process, they can apply through the web page, and a village support activist will visit and provide counseling directly.

For more details, please check the district website or contact the Yeongdeungpo-gu Autonomous Administration Division or the Yeongdeungpo-gu Village Autonomy Center.

Chaehyun Il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, "Through the experience of residents directly identifying and solving interests, stories, and concerns within the village, we can create a truly resident-led village community. We ask for the active interest and participation of district residents in working together to create a better village."
