Gyeonggi-do Provides Up to 3 Million KRW for Hanok Repair Costs

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will support repair costs for small-scale hanok houses in the province up to 3 million KRW.

The province announced that it will promote the "Emergency Support Project for Small-scale Repairs of Hanok Architecture" from the 15th of this month to the 15th of next month and is recruiting applicants.

The project targets hanok houses in the province that require small-scale emergency repairs such as damaged roof tiles or aged wood, with a total construction cost within 6 million KRW.

The province has allocated a total of 60 million KRW and plans to directly support half of the construction costs (up to 3 million KRW) with provincial funds for at least 20 construction cases.

According to the ordinance, the decision on whether to support and the amount will be determined through the review of the Architectural Committee, and the support funds will be paid after the completion of the repair of the respective hanok.

A provincial official stated, "Due to higher maintenance costs compared to general houses, there are limits to managing hanok, but we decided to carry out the support project to preserve the unique beauty and dignity of hanok."

The Emergency Support Project for Small-scale Repairs of Hanok Architecture is independently implemented by Gyeonggi Province, and all residents of the province can apply regardless of city or county.
