[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun (Governor Kim Sunho) announced on the 2nd that it achieved the remarkable feat of winning the 'Excellence Award' and a prize of 1 million won in the comprehensive evaluation of Jeollanam-do rural return and fishing village attraction, thanks to its performance in attracting returnees to farming and fishing villages and securing its own project funds at this year's Rural Return and Migration Harmony Competition.

The comprehensive evaluation of rural return and fishing village policies is conducted annually targeting 21 cities and counties in the province, excluding Mokpo City.

This evaluation was conducted across eight categories and twelve indicators covering all aspects of rural return and fishing village work, including project implementation performance, attraction performance, education, and publicity.

Gurye-gun received high marks for its performance in the Stay-type Agricultural Startup Support Center, operation of Gurye Settlement Nest, and its own projects such as support for housing repair costs for returnees, support for agricultural facilities for settlers, and customized step-by-step rural return and migration education.

Kim Sunho, Governor of Gurye-gun, stated, “In response to population decline and aging issues, we will continue to do our best to provide various settlement supports so that many people can return to farming and migrate to Gurye-gun.”

Meanwhile, the county plans to provide step-by-step customized counseling and support policies for rural return and migration attraction projects again next year.
