Pohang City is conducting the ‘Small-scale Housing Maintenance Project Feasibility Analysis Support Project’ to assist residents in decision-making regarding the ‘Small-scale Housing Maintenance Project,’ which involves small-scale maintenance and improvement of residential environments in old urban areas with poor living conditions.

The Small-scale Housing Maintenance Project is implemented in areas where the project zone is less than 10,000㎡ and the number of old or deteriorated buildings accounts for two-thirds or more of all buildings in the area. This includes projects such as ‘Street Housing Maintenance Project’ and ‘Small-scale Reconstruction Project.’

The consulting targets are zones that meet the legal requirements for the Small-scale Housing Maintenance Project and have obtained consent from more than 50% of landowners and other owners. Those who wish to have a feasibility analysis for their area and housing complexes can refer to the announcement section on the Pohang City Hall website and apply by June 5 with the application form and consent forms to the Apartment Housing Division.

If selected as a target site, the city plans to provide residents promoting the Small-scale Housing Maintenance Project with optimal architectural plans, and support them in making easier decisions on whether to proceed with the maintenance project through feasibility analysis such as asset value appraisal before and after the project and estimated burden calculation.

A city official stated, “We will provide active administrative support for residents planning to promote the Small-scale Housing Maintenance Project,” adding, “Through this consulting, the project period is expected to be significantly shortened compared to existing maintenance projects, and by improving the residential environment through residents’ efforts, it is anticipated to contribute to revitalizing the stagnant old urban areas.”

Currently, Pohang City is promoting 22 Small-scale Housing Maintenance Projects, including the Street Housing Maintenance Project in the Yongheung Market block in Daehung-dong, Buk-gu.
