Sancheong-gun, Experience Living in Rural Areas and Homestay for Returning Farmers and Migrants

Inducing Stable Settlement Through Local Community Interaction

Sancheong County is hosting a Sancheong Tour event inviting city residents who are prospective returnees to farming and rural living.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 22nd that it will promote a rural experience and homestay program for urban residents dreaming of returning to farming and rural living.

The rural experience program, "Living in the Countryside," is a project that allows urban residents hoping to return to farming and rural living to experience Sancheong-gun in advance and encourages stable settlement through interaction with local residents.

Participants can join the "rural settlement type" training program, which helps them settle stably by living in the countryside for up to six months.

This year, the "Jirisan Deokcheongang Rural Experience and Recreation Village" was selected as the operating village of Sancheong-gun. Five households will be recruited in April to participate in the "rural settlement type" program.

The "Return-to-Farming and Rural Living Homestay Support Project" helps urban residents live in Sancheong-gun for one month to experience and prepare for settlement, minimizing trial and error that may occur during migration.

Applicants can apply by selecting the facility they wish to use as a homestay. During the usage period, various experiences and settlement preparation activities for returning to farming and rural living are carried out, and 50% of the homestay fee (up to 200,000 KRW) is supported.

A county official said, "It is important for urban residents hoping to return to farming and rural living to have the opportunity to fully experience rural life in advance to settle stably in the countryside," and added, "We will continue to prepare various support measures so that returnees can successfully settle in Sancheong-gun."
