[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do, will provide compensation to residents affected by noise from military airfields and shooting ranges.

According to Yanggu-gun on the 10th, the eligible residents are those who were registered and actually resided in the noise control areas from November 27, 2020, to December 31, 2021, including foreigners.

One representative per household must apply on behalf of all household members, and if the applicant cannot apply in person due to unavoidable circumstances, a proxy may be appointed.

The compensation amount will be reduced considering the actual residence period and the time of moving in, and compensation for the military shooting range will be paid proportionally to the number of shooting days per month.

However, no reduction will be made if the resident moved in before the installation of the military airfield or shooting range, if the resident was a minor at the time of moving in, or if the move was due to marriage to the spouse's existing residence.

Applications for payment must be submitted by the 28th of next month; if not applied within the deadline, the resident will be excluded from this year's compensation payment and can reapply in January or February next year.

This compensation payment is based on the "Act on Prevention of Noise and Compensation for Damage from Military Airfields and Shooting Ranges," and the Ministry of National Defense designated and announced the noise control areas for military airfields and shooting ranges in December last year.
