Contribution to the Development of Resident Autonomy

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gong Byeongcheol, a member of the Gwangsan District Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City (Shinheung-dong, Usan-dong, Wolgok 1·2-dong, Unam-dong), received a plaque of appreciation from residents.

According to the Gwangsan District Council on the 7th, the Gwangsan District Residents' Autonomy Council presented Gong with a plaque of appreciation for his contributions to the development of residents' autonomy and dedication to creating a happy life for the residents.

Gong served as the chairperson of the Operations Committee during the first half of the 8th Gwangsan District Council and has worked as the representative member of the council research group ‘Jachibunwon Yeonguhoe’ (Autonomy and Decentralization Research Group), striving for the development of local autonomy and revitalization of grassroots autonomy foundations.

He also suggested directions for the Gwangsan-type residents' autonomy and contributed to the smooth operation of residents' autonomy meetings.

Gong said, “I believe this plaque of appreciation is the result of the sweat and efforts of the residents' autonomy committee members who directly work with residents to change and improve the village, and I thank all the residents' autonomy committee members and residents. Moving forward, as we enter the full-fledged era of local autonomy, I will actively work to realize ‘grassroots democracy’ where residents are the owners.”
