[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is publicly recruiting the 3rd term members of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, who will represent the residents and continue autonomous activities, from the 1st to the 29th of this month.


Dongseon-dong and Jongam-dong, which have been operated as pilot neighborhoods for Seoul-style Residents' Autonomy Committees since 2017 and laid the foundation for Seongbuk-gu's residents' autonomy, are the target areas.


The Residents' Autonomy Committee is a representative body of residents that has representativeness and responsibility, discussing, deciding, and implementing neighborhood issues and difficulties together with many residents.


In particular, the Residents' Autonomy Committees of Dongseon-dong and Jongam-dong have led Seongbuk-gu's residents' autonomy activities by implementing various resident-led autonomy planning projects to realize daily autonomy where residents' participation occurs routinely in everyday life, thereby revitalizing grassroots residents' autonomy and enhancing democratic participation awareness.


Applications for committee membership are open to those registered as residents in the respective neighborhood, those active in schools, institutions, or organizations located in the neighborhood, and those listed in the foreigner registration ledger.


Applications can be submitted in person at the respective neighborhood community service center or Residents' Autonomy Committee office, or via email. Detailed information is available on the district's website.


The district plans to select the final members through a public lottery among applicants who complete the 6-hour basic education at the Residents' Autonomy School scheduled for November.


The selected 3rd term Residents' Autonomy Committee members will serve as unpaid honorary positions for a two-year term, starting January 1, 2022, representing residents to discuss and resolve various local issues and continue community-based autonomous activities.



Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “As the true owners of our neighborhood, I ask for the interest and participation of many residents, and I promise more active support to make Seongbuk-gu a living autonomy district that grows together with its residents.”
