Seoul Gangseo-gu Holds Resident General Meetings in All 20 Neighborhoods

Proposing 5 to 10 projects per neighborhood, conducting online and offline resident voting... Final selected autonomous plans to be implemented as next year's neighborhood resident council projects

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Neighborhood issues discovered by residents will be decided by the residents themselves.

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Noh Hyun-song) announced that the Residents' General Assembly, the highest decision-making body of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, will be held in all 20 neighborhoods within the district.

The Residents' General Assembly is a meeting where each neighborhood's Residents' Autonomy Committee shares self-governance plans directly developed to solve local issues, and makes final decisions through voting.

This assembly includes projects such as the "Deungchon 2-dong Resource Circulation Village," which reduces disposable products through shared reusable shopping baskets, along with 5 to 10 projects proposed by each neighborhood.

The proposed agendas will be finalized at the Residents' General Assembly after online and offline resident voting according to the schedule set for each neighborhood in July.

Anyone who is a resident of the neighborhood or belongs to a school, institution, or organization located there can participate in the resident voting. The eligible voting age will be operated according to the operating rules set for each neighborhood.

The self-governance plans selected through the assembly will be implemented as projects by the neighborhood Residents' Autonomy Committees in the following year.

For more details, please check the "Neighborhood Community Center" page at the top of the Gangseo-gu website.

A district official said, "We look forward to the changes in the community brought about by projects proposed by the Residents' Autonomy Committee," and added, "Since Residents' Autonomy Committees have been established in all neighborhoods of Gangseo-gu starting this year, we will provide full support to activate community self-governance through these committees."
