[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) conducted a review of the 'Neighbor Making Support Project,' part of the '2021 Together Green Village Community Project,' selecting a total of 45 projects across all 14 neighborhoods in Dobong-gu to be implemented.

The Neighbor Making Support Project, which began in 2014, is the most basic level of public contest project supporting residents' entry into the village ecosystem and the formation of resident networks.

Over the past seven years, 426 new residents from 142 groups have participated in the Neighbor Making Support Project, resulting in the successful establishment of advanced village projects such as village planning, residents' autonomous councils, village vitality centers, and community space operations, contributing to the expansion of village communities within the region.

This 2021 Neighbor Making Support Project limits participation to small groups of fewer than five people, with no more than three per group, in accordance with social distancing measures. It prioritizes programs supporting social activities for marginalized groups such as the elderly and children, focusing on restoring village communities and neighbor networks that have weakened due to COVID-19.

In particular, to spread awareness and attention to the increasingly prominent issue of the environment, environmental agendas such as resource circulation and recycling activation are also prioritized for selection and support.

Thanks to the gradually increasing capacity of residents for village projects and their strong willingness to participate, Dobong-gu plans to conduct additional recruitment in April this year.

Detailed schedules and participation methods will be announced through the Dobong-gu Office website in April.

Mayor Lee Dong-jin of Dobong-gu said, “In these times when social distancing is emphasized due to COVID-19, restoring resident relationships and creating sustainable village communities is more important than ever. We plan to carefully manage these public contest projects so that they can serve as exemplary cases of resident autonomy preparing for the post-COVID-19 era.”
