[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) will hold a contest for the '2022 Resident Participatory Budget Proposal Projects' from March 29 to June 30.

The contest fields are ▲ Economy, Culture, Tourism ▲ Welfare, Women ▲ Transportation, Housing ▲ Environment, Parks ▲ Education, Youth, totaling five categories.

The total budget scale is 1 billion KRW, with project costs allocated up to 100 million KRW per category, and event or program projects up to 20 million KRW.

Any Geumcheon-gu resident, worker, or student located in Geumcheon-gu can participate in this contest.

Residents wishing to propose projects can submit the application form through the Geumcheon-gu website. It is also possible to visit the Planning and Budget Division on the 6th floor of Geumcheon-gu Office or apply by mail.

The application form can be downloaded from the 'Participation & Communication - Resident Participation Notice Board' on the Geumcheon-gu website, and is also available at the district office and each community service center.

Proposed projects will undergo 'Departmental Project Eligibility Review' and 'Resident Participatory Budget Committee Review and General Assembly.'

At the general assembly, a combined score will be calculated by a 50% vote from the Resident Participatory Budget Committee and a 50% mobile vote from residents to decide which projects will be reflected in next year's budget in order of highest scores.

The selection results are scheduled to be announced on the Geumcheon-gu website in September.

Meanwhile, the Geumcheon-gu Resident Participatory Budget System is a system where residents directly participate in the budget formulation process to propose projects that are essential to their surroundings and neighbors.

Applications are accepted year-round through the district website, but to be reflected in the 2022 budget, proposals must be submitted within the contest period.

Mayor Yuseonghun said, "We will review and collect as many diverse opinions from residents as possible to create a happy city, Geumcheon-gu, in every neighborhood," and added, "We ask for the interest and participation of all residents so that projects essential to the district can be proposed."
