According to the county on the 8th, Pyeongnim in Bigeum-myeon and Dochang Village in Amtae-myeon, which were selected in this contest, are areas where basic living infrastructure construction and residential environment maintenance are essential due to vulnerable village conditions and aging infrastructure caused by sea winds.


Going forward, a master plan will be finalized through practical consultations, including expansion of infrastructure such as village road paving, drainage maintenance, and safety facilities, as well as fence maintenance, vacant house demolition, slate roof improvement, and traditional toilet maintenance. It is expected that the living conditions in the villages will greatly improve through prompt project implementation.


Following the selection of Sari in Heuksan-myeon and Gidong Village in Sinui-myeon in March, Shinan-gun has confirmed a total project budget of 8.4 billion KRW for four sites in 2023, accelerating efforts to enhance safe and pleasant resident living services tailored to regional characteristics.



Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, “We plan to actively respond to central government contest projects to resolve residents’ inconveniences and create happy villages transformed from old and vulnerable ones, doing our best to revitalize the community.”
