[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, visited major civil complaint sites in the Jinhae area on the 13th, including the ‘Nikangnaekang Dagachi Center’ and the ‘Buam Village Container Storage Yard,’ carefully examining the causes and progress of complaints and listening to voices from the field.

This site visit was conducted ahead of the ‘Dialogue with Jinhae-gu Citizens’ scheduled for the 17th, to inspect key sites closely related to citizens and to prepare firm solutions for the identified issues.

Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, visited major civil complaint sites in the Jinhae area, including the 'Nikang Naekang Dagachi Center' and the 'Buam Village Container Storage Yard.'

First, Mayor Hong visited the site of the ‘Nikangnaekang Dagachi Center’ project, considered a major project in the Jinhae area. Located in Gyeonghwa-dong, this site was selected in 2021 for the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project competition and is being developed as a community space for local residents to revitalize the local community and improve resident welfare.

Next, Mayor Hong visited the site where a container storage yard was established on an abandoned factory site at the entrance of Buam Village in Macheon, which has caused complaints. The establishment of the container storage yard led to complaints regarding noise, vibration, fine dust, and concerns about road safety accidents. In response, Changwon City has issued an order to restore the site to its original condition to the related company and is actively pursuing meetings between complainants and the district mayor, but is facing difficulties in resolving the issue.

While inspecting the two complaint sites, Mayor Hong listened to residents’ opinions and instructed the relevant officials to “thoroughly prepare firm solutions from the perspective of the residents as the demand side.”

Mayor Hong also visited the ‘Ungcheon Kiln Site Exhibition Hall,’ a major tourist attraction in the Jinhae area, received a report on the exhibition hall’s operations, and discussed activation plans such as increasing visitors. This site, opened in 2011, has established itself as a cultural space where visitors can experience historic site tours, exhibition viewing, and pottery making.

Mayor Hong said, “By confirming the sites of major projects closely related to citizens’ lives, we will prepare in advance for any inconveniences to citizens,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to communicate and empathize with citizens by working directly on the ground.”
