[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The resident council for the Oksan District Urban Regeneration New Deal Project in Sancheong-eup, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam, held its launching ceremony.

The county announced on the 15th that on the afternoon of the 14th, the Oksan District Urban Regeneration Resident Council held its first meeting at the Sancheong-eup Administrative Welfare Center and began full-scale activities.

The resident council is a voluntary and autonomous resident group formed to participate in the planning and implementation process of the Oksan District urban regeneration project and to provide opinions.

At the launching ceremony, after awarding certificates of appointment to about 20 resident committee members, agenda items such as activating subcommittee meetings and matters related to the operation of the resident council were discussed.

To increase local residents' interest, the council listened to proposals explaining the urban regeneration activation plan and went through discussions to collect residents' opinions.

Hwang Sam-yong, president of the Sancheong Market Merchants Association and representative of the resident council, said, “We will operate the Oksan District resident council and subcommittee meetings more actively by collecting opinions at this first meeting.”

A county official stated, “We will discover ideas related to the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project together with the resident council and promote it so that it becomes a resident-led project through voluntary participation and consensus building among local residents.”

The Oksan District is the urban area of Sancheong-eup, centered around Sancheong Market located right in front of Sancheong County Office, including Hanmaeum Park and Sancheong Bus Terminal.

Although it is the central business district of Sancheong-gun, signs of decline in the old downtown area have recently appeared, making it a region in need of functional recovery and strengthening of resident capabilities.

The county is preparing in advance to apply for the ‘2022 Urban Regeneration New Deal Project’ contest, targeting a total project area of 148,530㎡ with a total project cost of 16.5 billion KRW.

Accordingly, it plans to steadily carry out related preliminary procedures such as holding resident briefings and workshops and consulting for the establishment of activation plans.

Sancheong-gun intends to actively reflect the ideas and regional activation plans proposed by the resident council in the Oksan District Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.
