[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] The most preferred area among applicants hoping to apply for the 3rd phase new towns was found to be the ‘Hanam Gyosan’ district in Gyeonggi Province.

According to the results of the ‘3rd Phase New Town Application Intention Preference Survey’ announced by Zigbang on the 9th, the area with the highest application intention was Hanam Gyosan (23.4%).

Hanam Gyosan was also selected as the top preferred area (about 25% preference) in last year’s government survey on 3rd phase new town application intentions. However, aside from this, the survey results were very different. Last year’s preference ranking was △Gwacheon Gwacheon (21.8%) △None (20.9%) △Namyangju Wangsuk (18.4%) △Goyang Changneung (13.7%).
