[Asia Economy Reporter La Youngcheol] Hanam City in Gyeonggi Province has proposed measures for the major issues in Gyosan New Town, including 'provision of temporary residences for the resettlement of original residents' and 'establishment of measures for prior relocation of businesses and subsequent demolition.'

Kim Sang-ho, mayor of Hanam, attended the 11th regular meeting of the Gyeonggi Province Mayors and County Governors Council (online video conference) held on the 13th and stated on the 14th, "The original residents living in the Gyosan district are large families, but the purchase rental housing secured by LH currently consists of small units with only one room, raising concerns about the collapse of the original residents' community life."

He continued, "To improve the resettlement rate of original residents promised by the government at the time of the 3rd New Town announcement, we urge the supply of temporary residences in various forms and sizes."

Mayor Kim also said, "Uninterrupted business activities are essential for the resettlement of original residents and a key issue for the smooth promotion of public housing projects," and requested the Mayors and County Governors Council to propose to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) to reflect the original residents' demands for business relocation sites as much as possible to fulfill the principle of prior relocation and subsequent demolition."

According to Mayor Kim, issues regarding the relocation and transfer of original residents due to the Gyosan district new town development project are continuously being raised in Hanam City.

Mayor Kim's position is that the city should actively cooperate with the 3rd New Town development project and that MOLIT and LH should reflect the concerns of the original residents of the Gyosan district as much as possible.

Hanam City plans to jointly respond through the Mayors and County Governors Council by proposing to MOLIT and presenting the city's opinions to LH and others, while collaborating with various local governments in Gyeonggi Province to resolve the difficulties faced by the original residents.

The 'Emergency Countermeasures Committee for Win-Win Cooperation with LH,' composed of heads of 15 local governments belonging to the Mayors and County Governors Council, plans to visit the LH representative on the 29th to raise issues such as waste disposal lawsuits and the return of development profits to the local area.

Meanwhile, ahead of the pre-application for the 3rd New Town, the government has addressed some concerns about delays in land compensation by stating, "Unlike past public housing projects, the 3rd New Town is proceeding with district planning and approval procedures simultaneously with land compensation procedures to prevent delays in the main subscription process."
