Suncheon City Initiates Pre-Engagement with Citizens on Waste Treatment Facility Construction... Promotes Advanced Site Visits

Starting with the 'Public-Private Council' on the 13th, Local Leaders Scheduled for Advanced Site Visits

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu) announced on the 13th that it will promote field trips to advanced waste treatment facilities together with citizens, starting with the 'Public-Private Council for Solving Suncheon City's Waste Problems.'

The field trip destination is 'Hanam City Union Park,' located near a large apartment complex and the nearby Starfield.

The city plans to have residents directly inspect how the metropolitan area waste treatment facility, which inevitably must be located close to residents, is safely operated, and listen to explanations from professional facility managers about the safety of management technologies, thereby gaining residents' understanding of the necessity and safety of waste treatment facilities.

A city official stated, "Hanam City Union Park was selected as the field trip site because the waste treatment facility is located underground, while the aboveground area is developed as a resident complex facility, maximizing the use of resource circulation energy, which aligns with Suncheon City's site selection criteria."

He added, "The reason for promoting this advanced site field trip is to foster prior communication with residents regarding transparent operation of the waste treatment facility, resident participation, and energy utilization plans through combined heat and power generation."

Following this initial field trip, advanced site visits by local leaders such as the First-Class Suncheon Citizen Movement Headquarters, Suncheon City Neighborhood Association, Resident Autonomy Council, Saemaul Association, Barugesalgi Movement Association, religious leaders, and journalists are scheduled to continue.

A Suncheon City official expressed gratitude, saying, "We appreciate the local leaders who spared no effort to participate despite the long distance to help solve the waste problem," and added, "We hope that through this field trip, local leaders will discard negative images of waste treatment facilities and serve as messengers to accurately convey information about these facilities to citizens."
