[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] On the 26th, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Sun-ho) announced that it has been selected for the Resident Life Innovation Support Project hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, securing a special grant of 20 million won.

Gurye-gun challenged the contest with a project titled "Jirisan Mini Garden Visiting Seomjingang."

The county received favorable evaluations by planning projects that introduce horticultural therapy methods where residents and experts decorate mini gardens in the city to relieve stress, and restore community spirit through mini garden exhibitions and contests.

Recently, the central government has been expanding the types and scale of public contests to develop life-oriented policies and increase customized financial support.

To respond to this trend, the county established a policy innovation team immediately after the launch of the 7th local government administration to respond to various public contests.

As a result of these efforts, the county challenged various fields such as resolving and improving residents' life inconveniences, disaster prevention, water and sewage maintenance, spreading environmental protection awareness, and tourism revitalization, achieving the selection of 27 public projects worth 112 billion won in the first half of this year.

Public projects selected in the field of resolving and improving residents' life inconveniences include ▲458 billion won for the central city-type urban regeneration New Deal project ▲3 billion won for the construction of a family center ▲3 billion won for support of new and renewable energy convergence.

In the field of disaster prevention, the county secured ▲34 billion won for the maintenance of Seonwol natural disaster risk improvement district ▲6 billion won for the maintenance of the steep slope area in Sinwol district.

In the field of spreading environmental protection awareness, 24.2 billion won was selected for the construction of the Jirisan Asiatic Black Bear Promotion Center and sanctuary creation; in the water and sewage maintenance field, 37 billion won for the maintenance of key sewage management areas and 3.2 billion won for the establishment of smart water network management infrastructure were selected.

Governor Kim Sun-ho said, "In the past, we faithfully executed policies discovered by the government uniformly, but recently, as local autonomy has matured, the importance of policies tailored to regional characteristics has increased. Gurye-gun will respond more actively to government public projects to catch two rabbits: securing insufficient resources and discovering policies suited to regional characteristics."
