Gyeonggi-do Provides Up to 4 Million Won for Hanok Renovation Support

Gyeonggi Province will carry out a project throughout July to provide repair cost support and other assistance for hanok houses within the province.

Gyeonggi Province will provide financial support of up to 4 million KRW for small-scale repairs and maintenance to preserve and revitalize hanok.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 30th that it will carry out the "Hanok Architecture Small-scale Repair Emergency Support Project" targeting owners of hanok buildings in the province that require small repairs such as tile damage and wood aging, and will recruit applicants from July 1 to 31.

However, recreational facilities and certain neighborhood living facilities such as karaoke bars and massage parlors are excluded from the support target. The support amount is up to 4 million KRW within half of the total construction cost.

For this project, Gyeonggi Province has allocated a total budget of 60 million KRW this year and will recruit an additional 5 or so hanok buildings for support following the recruitment of 10 buildings in March.

Hanok owners wishing to apply can download the application form from the Gyeonggi Provincial Government website and submit it along with the required documents to the Architecture Design Division of Gyeonggi Province.

Gyeonggi Province will decide on the support after review by the Gyeonggi Architecture Committee. Notification of selection (individual) and settlement procedures will be conducted after repair completion, followed by payment of the provincial subsidy.

Goyongsoo, Director of the Architecture Design Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Since this project supports the preservation and prevention of loss of hanok, which is our traditional culture, we hope for active participation from interested owners."
