Gwangju Buk-gu, Junghung 1-dong and Munheung 2-dong 'Resident Autonomy Committees' Fully Operational

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Moon In) announced on the 17th that it will officially operate the Gwangju-type Resident Autonomy Committees in Jungheung 1-dong and Munheung 2-dong, pilot neighborhoods, starting this month.

The Gwangju-type Resident Autonomy Committee is a system that allows residents to participate as owners of the local community by discussing and deciding on local issues by themselves.

In particular, it directly carries out various autonomous activities, including the existing roles of the Resident Autonomy Committee in operating the Resident Autonomy Center and providing administrative advice.

In April, members of the Resident Autonomy Committee were recruited, forming committees with 30 members in Jungheung 1-dong and 35 members in Munheung 2-dong. Resident autonomy education was conducted, and operational systems such as the establishment of detailed rules and the formation of subcommittees were prepared.

The Jungheung 1-dong and Munheung 2-dong Resident Autonomy Committees plan to complete their inauguration ceremonies this month and engage in tasks necessary for solving local issues and developing the village, such as discovering village agendas, establishing independent plans, holding residents' general meetings, and realizing village agendas.

Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “We hope that village-level living autonomy will be realized through resident-led activities of the Resident Autonomy Committees.”

Meanwhile, Buk-gu operates 11 out of 28 neighborhoods as Resident Autonomy Committees, contributing to regional development and the spread of grassroots resident autonomy.
