Successful First Year of the 'Clean Euddeum Village' Project in Geumsan Village, Nagan-myeon, Suncheon City

Creating Unique and Beautiful Village Environments Led by Residents

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Nak-an-myeon, Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 29th that it has successfully completed the first year of the ‘Clean Jeonnam Best Village Making’ project targeting Geumsan Village.

The ‘Clean Jeonnam Best Village Making’ project is a program where residents participate to cultivate and preserve the village’s beautiful natural scenery. Villages designated as Best Villages receive an annual project fund of 3 million KRW for three years to promote resident-led village development projects reflecting the village’s unique characteristics.

This year, Geumsan Village in Nak-an-myeon, which implemented the project for the first time, created a distinctive and beautiful village landscape unique to Geumsan Village by utilizing village resources such as stone walls and wells based on regular voluntary labor and harmony among residents.

Practical activities for village residents, such as creating gardens using leftover land, establishing resting places for the elderly population, and educating on waste separation and disposal, have increased residents’ satisfaction with their living environment.

As a result of successfully completing the first year of the project, Geumsan Village won the Gold Prize (Minister of the Interior and Safety Award) at the 4th Clean and Beautiful Rural Village Contest hosted by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation.

Kim Ok-gyun, head of Geumsan Village, stated, “We will actively promote the second and third years of the Clean Jeonnam Best Village Making project and strive even harder to create a landscape led and appreciated by the village residents.”

Jung Yoo-jin, head of Nak-an-myeon, said, “We appreciate the hard work and passion of the residents of Geumsan Village who are creating a comfortable and pleasant village environment, and we will actively support village projects starting with the Clean Jeonnam Best Village project.”
