Previously, the Cheolma-myeon Village Welfare Discovery Group identified village welfare agendas through internal meetings based on the results of a resident needs survey.

The discovered village welfare agendas include ▲‘Happy Village’ support project for wish packages for children and adolescents from low-income and multicultural families ▲‘Warm Village’ support project for winter clothing for vulnerable groups ▲‘Healthy Village’ health management support project for health-vulnerable groups. Through this resident vote, the most needed project among these will be selected as the final village welfare agenda and implemented.

The resident vote was conducted targeting visitors at the Cheolma-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, and approximately 360 residents participated as on-site voting was also conducted at Songjeong Village Market, Cheolma Welfare Center, Gochon Anpyeong Village Welfare Center, senior citizen centers, and other locations.

Song Myeongsun, head of the Village Welfare Discovery Group, said, “Village welfare planning is a process led by residents who solve village problems themselves, so resident participation and cooperation are essential. We will actively reflect the residents' opinions confirmed through the vote and promote welfare projects that benefit our village.”
