[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Kwan-gyu) announced on the 5th that from tomorrow until the 5th of next month, resident general meetings will be held to decide village plans for 24 eup, myeon, and dong districts, organized by the resident autonomy committees of each district.

The resident autonomy committee is a representative resident organization formed in eup, myeon, and dong districts to promote autonomy.

They find projects closely related to daily life, reflect residents' opinions, decide village matters, and carry out activities to solve local problems.

In particular, the resident general meeting, considered the highlight of resident autonomy activities, is a forum where local residents gather in one place to decide next year's projects through voting.

The eup, myeon, and dong resident autonomy committees lead the entire process, starting from planning to decide the schedule and method of the resident general meeting, promoting participation through publicity, and deciding next year's projects.

Since March, they have been designing village project proposals through workshops.

To find issues needed by local residents, they held “Neighborhood Walk and Chat Meetings,” visiting various parts of the village to collect residents' opinions.

The projects discovered in this way go through a process of asking village residents' opinions via online voting and on-site visiting voting.

Then, finally, the execution is decided by residents' votes at the resident general meeting and implemented as next year's eup, myeon, and dong projects.

Mayor Noh Kwan-gyu of Suncheon said, “Since the protagonists of the resident general meeting deciding next year's projects are the citizens of Suncheon, we hope for much interest and participation from the citizens,” and added, “We will support the smooth promotion of the projects selected at this resident general meeting.”
