[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun (Governor Kim Sunho) held a special lecture on strengthening local autonomy capacity on the 13th under the theme "How to Lead the Era of Local Autonomy 2.0?" in line with the era of Local Autonomy 2.0.

This special lecture was conducted to review the revised Local Autonomy Act and to strengthen the capabilities of residents before its implementation. It was targeted at resident autonomy committee members who are implementing resident autonomy at the frontline in towns and townships.

The lecture, attended by about 70 resident autonomy committee members from 8 towns and townships, was conducted by former Local Autonomy Committee Chairman Jeong Sung-kwan. He explained the basic concepts of resident autonomy, the changing system, current issues, and directions for solving them.

The main contents of the revised Local Autonomy Act include the introduction of policy support professionals, the establishment of rights to participate in policy decision-making and execution processes affecting residents' lives, independence of personnel authority, and relaxation of the number of resident audit petitioners and the age criteria for petition rights.

Kim Sunho, Governor of Gurye-gun, said, "In the changing era of local autonomy, the necessity of resident participation, such as residents taking the lead in solving local problems, is increasing day by day," and added, "I hope this occasion will be a meaningful time to help our county cultivate residents' autonomy capabilities and take a step closer to proper resident autonomy."

Meanwhile, the fully revised Local Autonomy Act is scheduled to take effect on January 13 of next year.
