Gurye-gun, Village Smiles Bloom Brightly Through Clean Jeonnam Prime Village Project

Cheongjeong Gurye Euddeummaeul Beautifully Reborn Through Community Harmony

Visible Project Success Restores Village Vitality and Smiles

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun announced that the 90 villages in Gurye, the target area of Jeollanam-do's core policy 'Creating the Best Clean Jeonnam Villages Project,' are being reborn as pleasant and beautiful villages through the active harmony and efforts of the residents.

Launched last year, the Best Village Creation Project is a program where residents unite their own strength to utilize the village's clean resources to cultivate a pleasant and livable village and restore the lost community spirit.

On the 1st, among the 90 villages, five excellent cases selected through the county's own evaluation (Bongseo in Gurye-eup, Hwajeong in Muncheok-myeon, Sunae in Ganjeon-myeon, Samsung in Sandong-myeon, and Supyeong in Sandong-myeon) were visited and assessed on-site by the Jeollanam-do evaluation committee.

In Hwajeong Village, Muncheok-myeon, after resident meetings, old fences were repaired and murals depicting the village's history and characteristics were painted, giving the village a clean and beautiful new look.

In Supyeong Village, Sandong-myeon, residents voluntarily gather to conduct daily village cleanliness activities, and through the village communal space landscaping project, residents' resting areas have become more pleasant, creating an opportunity for the village to bloom with laughter.

In addition, in several Best Village target areas such as Aneum in Ganjeon-myeon and Gwangpyeong Village in Masan-myeon, not only aesthetic environmental improvements but also significant effects in fostering village autonomy capabilities and community spirit have been observed.

Heo Bong-geun, head of Samsung Village in Sandong-myeon, said, “I feel great fulfillment seeing the village becoming cleaner through the residents' own efforts, and we will continue to work together to create a beautiful village where residents want to live and tourists want to stay.”

Kim Soon-ho, governor of Gurye, said, “I hope the Clean Jeonnam Best Village Project will become a seed to strengthen resident harmony and autonomy capabilities, and we will continue to spare no support so that Clean Gurye can become even more prosperous and beautiful.”
