[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Woo Seung-hee, a member of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly, has taken the lead in proposing the “Jeonnam Ordinance on the Promotion of Hanok Architectural Assets,” which integrates two ordinances related to Hanok promotion.

According to the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly on the 22nd, the “Jeollanam-do Hanok Support and Promotion Ordinance” and the “Jeollanam-do Ordinance on the Promotion of Hanok and Other Architectural Assets,” both proposed by Assemblyman Woo Seung-hee, were integrated into the “Jeollanam-do Ordinance on the Promotion of Hanok and Other Architectural Assets (Complete Revision),” which passed the review at the 350th extraordinary session.

The main contents of the ordinance include ▲ training of specialized personnel for architectural assets ▲ support for maintenance and repair businesses of architectural assets ▲ management support for excellent architectural assets ▲ support for architectural asset promotion zones ▲ support for Hanok construction and Hanok zones ▲ establishment of a Hanok Committee ▲ establishment of a Hanok Development Fund ▲ and policies for the promotion of architectural culture.

Assemblyman Woo Seung-hee stated, “By preserving and improving Jeonnam’s Hanok and other architectural assets, we aim to efficiently enhance their cultural value and promote sustainable development, thereby preserving the disappearing traditional village cultural heritage and contributing to regional economic development through tourism revitalization.”

He added, “In the past, Hanok construction in Jeonnam was implemented under the Hanok Support and Promotion Ordinance. However, this ordinance has already been expanded nationwide, and it is now urgent to revise the ordinance to suit Jeonnam’s circumstances.”

The ordinance is scheduled to be approved at the 2nd plenary session of the 350th extraordinary meeting of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly on the 24th.
