Geochang County - Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters - Rural Utopia Research Institute Agreement Ceremony to Escape School Closure Crisis

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 22nd that it has signed an agreement with LH Korea Land and Housing Corporation Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters and the Rural Utopia Research Institute to implement the ‘Geochang-gun Small School Revitalization Project’ and is accelerating preparations for the construction of LH rental housing, including a survey of current resident demand and site selection.

The construction of LH rental housing to revitalize small schools is a project promoted through an agreement between Geochang-gun and LH Korea Land and Housing Corporation to provide insufficient housing for households transferring in and out of elementary schools located in Sinwon and Gabuk-myeon. This initiative started as part of the county’s project to escape the crisis of school closures.

The county first formed a public-private cooperation committee targeting Sinwon Elementary School and Gabuk Elementary School, which are located in the most remote areas of the myeon region and have a strong will to escape the school closure crisis, through the ‘School Closure Crisis Escape Consulting Support Project.’ Efforts such as holding nationwide briefings for student recruitment have led to nationwide inquiries and consultations regarding transfers and admissions.

Accordingly, the county promoted a vacant house remodeling project selected through a provincial public contest for households transferring in and out before admission, and through an agreement with LH Korea Land and Housing Corporation, it has achieved the result of constructing LH rental housing.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, stated, “Revitalizing small schools, which is an essential requirement for settling the young population, is the most important task to overcome the existential crisis of the myeon region and is the responsibility of local governments. We will strive to successfully promote this new construction and expand the small school revitalization project.”
