[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] This year's village general meeting in Hwajeong 1-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, has successfully concluded.

According to Seo-gu Hwajeong 1-dong on the 22nd, the meeting, organized by the Residents' Autonomy Committee (Chairman Park Kyung-won), was held for residents to directly identify village issues and seek solutions.

The village general meeting is the highest decision-making channel at the neighborhood level where any local resident can participate, deliberating and deciding on village matters closely related to residents' daily lives.

The meeting, held over six days from the 10th to the 15th, was conducted mainly online to prevent COVID-19 infection, with some large apartment complexes also conducting offline voting simultaneously.

At this meeting, the Hwajeong 1-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee focused on setting the priority for next year's resident participation budget to promote key village agendas and activate the neighborhood government.

As a result of the meeting, the first priority was confirmed as "Installation of public restrooms in Naebang Children's Park," and the second priority was "Support for the operation of Hwajeong 1-dong Village Community Center."

The third priority was "Promotion of Hwajeong 2 District Residential Environment Improvement Project," and the fourth priority was "Expansion of after-school children's spaces."

The Hwajeong 1-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee plans to allocate next year's resident participation budget projects in the order of the confirmed village agendas to ensure stable progress.

One hundred million won will be allocated for the installation of public restrooms in Naebang Children's Park, and twenty million won for the operation of the village community center.

Chairman Park Kyung-won said, "I hope the efforts of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, which is trying various forms of autonomy, will bear meaningful results," and added, "I hope grassroots democracy, where residents solve village problems by themselves, will take root."
