[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] “The district office is listening to the market merchants and thinking about their concerns. We will do our best to resolve the difficulties as quickly as possible.”

On June 2, Seongjanghyeon, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said this during his visit to Ichon General Market.

Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seongjanghyeon) is gaining positive responses from residents through its “Visiting On-site Mayor’s Office.”

The Visiting On-site Mayor’s Office is a project where the mayor personally visits sites related to residents’ livelihoods to listen to their voices and seek solutions. It runs for one month from June 2 to June 30.

The on-site visit to Ichon 1-dong on June 2 included stops at Ichon Police Center and Ichon General Market. Mayor Seong congratulated the police center on its first anniversary and listened to various requests from the market merchants.

Upcoming major visit sites include ▲ urban gas pipeline construction site around 43 Dongja-dong ▲ remodeling site of the former Cheongpa 2-dong office building ▲ new construction site of the Community Center in Yongmun-dong ▲ symbolic street creation area for urban regeneration around Hyochang Park ▲ road expansion construction site in front of Namsan Daerim Apartment ▲ pedestrian-friendly street project site around Hannam Station ▲ installation site of convenience facilities for pedestrian overpass at Hannam Five-way Intersection ▲ creation site of resident-priority parking lot on leftover land in Seobinggo-dong.

The locations were chosen as sites of long-standing local projects and key priority projects. Resident life-related sites such as Huam Market and Namyeong-dong Food Alley were also included in the visit list.

A district official said, “We examine issues by neighborhood and listen to residents’ opinions to develop customized local policies. We will actively communicate to resolve residents’ inconveniences.”

Mayor Seongjanghyeon has continued on-site communication with neighborhoods since 2012. He visited various sites such as senior centers, daycare centers, educational facilities, civil complaint sites, and hazardous facilities in 16 neighborhoods, setting periods ranging from one month to five months.

In 2018, he designated seven key locations including Yongsan Dream Tree Comprehensive Town and Wonhyo-ro Indoor Multipurpose Gymnasium to hold thematic discussion meetings with residents by district on childcare, welfare, and lifelong education.

Also, in 2019, during on-site communication, the mayor personally served as an instructor to introduce local history and cultural heritage to residents through the “History Discussion Yongsan” event, which received favorable reviews.

Mayor Seongjanghyeon of Yongsan-gu said, “Last year, we could not hold on-site communication due to the spread of COVID-19, but this year we plan to communicate with residents while strictly adhering to quarantine rules. We will ensure that civil complaints are handled as quickly as possible by the relevant departments.”
