[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will provide up to 3 million KRW in repair costs for small-scale hanok houses within the province.


Gyeonggi Province announced on the 15th that it will accept applications for the "Emergency Support Project for Small-scale Hanok Repairs" until the 15th of next month.


The province will select applicants through a review process and provide support for small-scale urgent repairs needed for hanok houses in the province, such as damaged roof tiles and aged wood, with a total construction cost of around 6 million KRW.


The province has allocated a total budget of 60 million KRW for this purpose.



An official from the province stated, "According to the ordinance, the decision on support eligibility and amount will be made through the Architectural Committee's review, and the support funds will be paid after the completion of the hanok repairs. Since maintenance costs are higher than those for general houses, there are limits to hanok management, but we hope this project will preserve the unique beauty and dignity of hanok."
