Songpa-gu 'Creating Livable Villages' Contest

Up to 2 Million Won Support per Group Until April 29

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is accepting participants for the '2021 Making a Livable Village' program until the 29th.

'Making a Livable Village' is a project where residents take the lead to carry out various activities to revitalize the village community.

The project content can be freely proposed as long as it aims to make the village where you live better, including childcare, culture, environment, welfare, sharing and giving, education, safety, and more.

In particular, this public contest project is promoted through the Village Autonomy Center, which has been operated under private consignment since November last year.

The Village Autonomy Center is an intermediary support organization that plays a mutual support role between the administration and residents to revitalize village communities and resident autonomy, providing counseling and monitoring to ensure resident-centered village projects can be carried out.

The district plans to select 25 groups (organizations) and provide differential project funding of around 1.5 million to 2 million KRW each. Any resident group or organization with three or more members residing in Songpa-gu or having a business, school, or other living base in Songpa-gu can apply.

Applications can be submitted online via email to the Village Cooperation Team of the Songpa-gu Office's Autonomous Administration Division (bandi07@songpa.go.kr) or through the Seoul Village Community Comprehensive Support Center website.

The selection results will be announced at the end of May on the Songpa-gu Office and Songpa-gu Village Autonomy Center websites after participant evaluation, expert review, and subsidy deliberation.

For more information, please refer to the announcements on the Songpa-gu Office or Songpa-gu Village Autonomy Center websites.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, "Village communities are a great opportunity for residents to voluntarily gather, communicate, cooperate, and realize resident autonomy," adding, "Through this project, we will make Songpa a city where residents take the lead in creating a livable city."
