[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 16th that Geumsan Village in Nagan-myeon was selected as an excellent village at the ‘Clean Jeonnam Best Village Performance Sharing Contest’ held by Jeollanam-do.

The ‘Clean Jeonnam Best Village Making’ project, a policy initiative of Jeollanam-do, is a project to cultivate and preserve the village’s beautiful natural scenery through residents’ participation. Villages selected 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 characteristics.

Geumsan Village in Nagan-myeon created a unique and beautiful village landscape by actively involving residents who wanted to cultivate their village with their own hands, utilizing village resources such as stone walls and springs.

Practical activities for village residents, such as gardens using leftover land, rest areas for the elderly population, and education on separating waste disposal, are increasing residents’ satisfaction with their living environment.

Geumsan Village, selected as an excellent village this year, received an additional project fund of 2 million KRW for next year’s project and a plaque recognizing it as an excellent village.

Kim Ok-gyun, the head of Geumsan Village, also received a commendation for contributions to the Best Village Making project.

Head Kim Ok-gyun said, “To create the best village in Jeonnam, we will actively promote next year’s project together with the village residents to build a beautiful village.”

Jeong Yu-jin, head of Nagan-myeon, said, “I appreciate the hard work and passion of the residents of Geumsan Village who achieved good results by creating a pleasant and comfortable village environment,” and added, “We will actively support next year’s project to make it a happy village for the residents.”
