[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Yangsan City, Gyeongnam Province, is accepting proposals for the 2022 participatory budgeting projects from residents from April 22 to May 21.

The proposed projects can be in any field that can be implemented within the fiscal year, including projects that provide equitable benefits to citizens, projects that resolve inconveniences in daily life or enhance citizens' welfare and quality of life, and projects that reflect unique regional characteristics distinct from other areas.

However, projects that benefit specific individuals or organizations, or projects under the jurisdiction of other institutions (such as the Office of Education, Police Station, etc.) are excluded.

The total budget for citizen participation is 2 billion KRW. General projects can apply for up to 300 million KRW per project, and event-type projects can apply for up to 50 million KRW per project. Regionally led projects discovered through township/district residents' councils and local meetings are also supported.

Submitted proposals will undergo feasibility reviews by departments and subcommittees, deliberation and prioritization by the Participatory Budgeting Committee, collection of residents' opinions, and budgeting procedures before being reflected in the 2022 budget.

Citizens wishing to propose projects can apply through the ‘Participatory Budgeting Project Proposal’ menu on the city hall website, or download the project proposal form from the ‘Participatory Budgeting’ menu, complete it, and submit it in person, by mail, email, or fax to the Budget Team of the Planning and Budget Office.
