Gurye-gun Eliminates Welfare Blind Spots Through Survey on Reclusive Hermits

Kim Sun-ho County Governor - Directs Active Promotion of Comprehensive Survey at Department Heads Policy Discussion Meeting

Improving Welfare Blind Spot Conditions to Enhance Residents' Welfare Satisfaction

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, is launching a full survey on the living conditions of reclusive loners who are in welfare blind spots.

On the 20th, County Governor Kim Soon-ho held a policy discussion meeting with department heads and emphasized the thorough implementation of current tasks, including a full survey of reclusive young and middle-aged adults residing in the area.

At the discussion, Governor Kim instructed a full survey on the living conditions of reclusive loners to eliminate welfare blind spots. He also ordered active administrative practices by reviewing the pledges of the 8th local government, preemptive inspections for heavy rains during the monsoon season, preparation for the regular comprehensive audit by Jeollanam-do, and thorough establishment of promotional plans for the pressed flower exhibition.

Gurye-gun will conduct a full survey on the living conditions of young and middle-aged adults aged 18 to 64 who have been reclusive for more than six months and reside in the area.

This survey aims to understand the current status of reclusive loners who are experiencing difficulties due to disconnection from the outside world and to establish support policies. The living conditions will be fully investigated through telephone or visit surveys based on questionnaires covering livelihood responsibilities, duration of reclusion, and triggering factors.

The full survey, conducted over approximately 11 days from June 20 to 30, will identify subjects through existing basic data from towns and townships, including case management status. Additional subjects will be actively identified with the cooperation of village chiefs, local community security councils, welfare mobile teams, and honorary social welfare officers.

In particular, the county and towns/townships will jointly grasp the status of residents suffering in welfare blind spots and plan to improve residents' welfare by providing specialized counseling and step-by-step customized services for reclusive loners in the future, which is considered highly meaningful.

Governor Kim Soon-ho said, "Through this survey, make sure to thoroughly check residents in welfare blind spots," and added, "I hope the administration will be actively carried out so that no residents are overlooked."
