The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 18th that, as a result of the evaluation of the second round of candidate sites for the 'Small-scale Housing Maintenance Management Areas' introduced through the 2·4 Supply Plan, a total of 9 candidate sites were selected across 5 cities and provinces including Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon, securing sites capable of supplying approximately 8,460 housing units.

Small-scale Housing Maintenance Management Areas are a system introduced to encourage planned public and private small-scale maintenance projects in aging low-rise residential areas.

The government announced the first 20 candidate sites on April 29, and with the addition of 9 more in this second round, the total number of candidate sites has increased to 29 sites (25,500 housing units).

As a result of the second round of candidate site evaluations, 7 sites were selected in the metropolitan area: 3 in Seoul, 3 in Gyeonggi, and 1 in Incheon; and 2 sites were selected outside the metropolitan area: 1 in Ulsan and 1 in Jeonbuk.

The locations include north of Yeomri Elementary School in Daehyeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul; around Deokseo Elementary School in Hwagok-dong, Gangseo-gu; north of Toseong Elementary School in Pungnap-dong, Songpa-gu; north of Luwon City in Gajeong-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon; west of Gwangmyeong Church in Gwangmyeong 7-dong, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi; south of Gachon University Station Doosan We've Apartment in Taepyeong 2-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si; south of Bongguksa Temple in Taepyeong 4-dong, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si; east of Hyundai Steel in Yeompo-dong, Buk-gu, Ulsan; and south of the Express Bus Terminal in Jinbuk-dong, Deokjin-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk.

The government plans to hold resident briefings together with the local governments in charge of the candidate sites to help residents thoroughly understand the management area system and its effects, and will actively support the prompt establishment of small-scale housing maintenance management plans through close consultations with residents.

The 20 candidate sites selected in the first round at the end of April will have their management plans completed by the basic local governments, which will then request review by the metropolitan governments within the year. Once designated as management areas, they can receive up to 15 billion KRW in national funding to support infrastructure and shared facility installation costs.

An Se-hee, Director of the Urban Housing Supply Cooperation Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "For areas where large-scale redevelopment or reconstruction projects are difficult, it is appropriate to designate them as management areas and plan small-scale maintenance projects by district in an organized manner," adding, "We will actively support the designation of the second round of candidate sites as management areas."
