Gwangju Seo-gu Conducts Special Lecture to Strengthen Village Government Implementation Capabilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, conducted a capacity-building special lecture for village leaders, including residents' autonomy committee members, on the 29th to realize village government.

According to Seo-gu on the 30th, this special lecture was held as the first step in establishing a Seo-gu-type autonomy model, aimed at realizing village government. It was conducted under the theme of the environment and tasks for village government, targeting 18 district heads, residents' autonomy committee members, and members of the security council.

The special lecture was an opportunity to confirm the high interest and enthusiasm for implementing village government in daily life, in line with the era of local decentralization, with about 100 village leaders participating in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era.

To revitalize residents' autonomy center programs, from the 21st for three days, participants directly experienced plant interior design (Planterior), providing an opportunity to compose specialized residents' autonomy programs for each district in the future.

Seo-gu has demonstrated its role as a leading local government in residents' autonomy by being selected for six consecutive years as having the most excellent cases nationwide at the National Residents' Autonomy Expo, becoming a model case across the country.

Every year, various education programs such as residents' autonomy capacity-building workshops are conducted to cultivate basic qualities and strengthen the capabilities of village leaders.

Seo Dae-seok, Mayor of Seo-gu, said, "Starting next year, we plan to actively promote village government that provides public services closely related to residents' lives, such as alley cleaning and children's park management, at the district level." He added, "I hope that through this education, the capabilities of village leaders, including residents' autonomy committee members, will grow further and become the cornerstone for establishing village government in daily life."
