[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 10th, Pohang City in Gyeongbuk held an explanatory meeting on the construction of a memorial park for happiness helpers at senior centers at the Pohang Employment Support Center of the Korea Senior Citizens Association.


The meeting was conducted in strict compliance with government quarantine guidelines. It was an opportunity to explain the necessity of constructing the memorial park, understanding of the memorial park, and future plans.


In particular, the plan for a resident contest for site selection to be held this October was explained in detail, and extensive promotion was requested targeting elderly users of local senior centers.


Pohang City plans to convert 100,000 pyeong of land into a park for the memorial park construction, including facilities such as cremation facilities (8 cremators) on 20,000 pyeong, enshrinement facilities (20,000 units), natural burial grounds (60,000 units), a family tomb hill, funeral halls, and auxiliary facilities.


Additionally, with the resident contest for site selection scheduled for October, efforts are being made to explain and promote the project to residents. The park will include educational, cultural, and sports facilities, aiming to integrate with the surrounding area as a place of tourism and history.



Yoon Eunha, Director of the Senior and Disabled Welfare Division, stated, "We plan to build consensus with local residents through resident briefings and continuous communication regarding the memorial park construction project," adding, "We aim to overcome the negative perception of the facility as an undesirable site and develop it as a healing space to make it easier for local residents to accept."
