[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam, has laid the groundwork through the ‘Urban Regeneration University’ education for residents to ensure the smooth progress of the Sancheong-eup Oksan District Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.

The county announced on the 26th that more than 20 people, including merchants of Sancheong Market and village residents, completed the ‘2021 Sancheong-eup Oksan District Urban Regeneration University’ education.

This Urban Regeneration University was conducted from the end of March in the form of customized resident-led education for applying to the urban regeneration contest.

Considering project demand and capabilities, the focus was on enhancing the capacity of the Oksan area resident community and creating project plans that residents can directly experience.

The completion ceremony was held at the Sancheong Market Merchants Association office, where graduates presented and shared the results of various activities aimed at solving village problems conducted during the course.

The Oksan District is the urban area of Sancheong-eup, centered around Sancheong Market (general neighborhood type) located right in front of Sancheong County Office, including Hanmaeum Park and Sancheong Bus Terminal.

Although it is the county’s central business concentration area, signs of decline in the old downtown have recently appeared, making functional recovery and strengthening resident capabilities necessary.

The county is preparing plans and other preparations targeting 148,530㎡ of the area, aiming for selection in the ‘2021 Urban Regeneration New Deal Project’ contest with a total project cost of 13 billion KRW.

This Urban Regeneration University education program was also conducted as one of the preliminary projects for contest selection.

The county plans to actively reflect the village agendas and local issues presented through the Urban Regeneration University in the Oksan District Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.

A county official said, “Since the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project is a resident-led project, we will strive to gather and reflect the opinions of the resident community,” adding, “We will work hard for the selection and promotion of the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project so that Sancheong-eup Oksan District can fulfill its role as the county’s central area.”
