[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Dosadong Residents' Autonomous Association (President Kim Seon-jung) in Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 19th that they carried out environmental cleanup activities such as removing overgrown weeds and collecting trash in the neglected vacant lot in the Ocheon district the day before.


The activity, carried out with the participation of 30 members of the Dosadong Residents' Autonomous Association, involved clearing the overgrown weeds in various parts of the long-neglected vacant lots in the Ocheon-dong area and collecting about one ton of illegally dumped trash, improving the unsanitary environment that threatened the health of citizens.


The Residents' Autonomous Association annually forms partnerships with vulnerable households and spreads a culture of sharing and consideration through talent donation volunteer work such as cleaning and home repairs. In April, they created a "Street Garden Cultivated with Residents" on the vacant land opposite Cheongam University, which had been suffering from habitual illegal dumping.


Kim Seon-jung, president of the Residents' Autonomous Association, said, "I hope residents can gain strength by seeing the cleanly organized cityscape," and added, "We will continue to rush to any place where the touch of the Dosadong Residents' Autonomous Association is needed."



A Dosadong official expressed deep gratitude to all participants despite the hot weather and said, "We will spare no administrative support to ensure that such voluntary activities by citizens can shine even more."
