Gwanak-gu Operates 'Visiting Resident Autonomy School'

'The First Step of Resident Autonomy Met in the Neighborhood' Traveling Education to All Neighborhoods Until September

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) will operate the 'Visiting Resident Autonomy School' for the resident autonomy committees of 21 neighborhoods in Gwanak-gu from July 6 to September 15.

Since 2019, Gwanak-gu has been piloting resident autonomy committees in 6 neighborhoods, and in April 2023, expanded them to all 21 neighborhoods in Gwanak-gu, launching the 'Gwanak-type Resident Autonomy Committee' and actively continuing various resident autonomy activities.

Accordingly, the district will operate the visiting resident autonomy school for each of the 21 neighborhoods to emphasize the necessity of resident autonomy, the roles of resident autonomy committee members, and to help improve understanding of resident autonomy.

The education content consists of ▲Understanding resident autonomy and basic concepts ▲Roles and capacity building of resident autonomy committee members ▲Directions of resident autonomy policies and systems ▲Excellent resident autonomy cases.

The education is conducted for resident autonomy committee members of each neighborhood, and those who wish to become committee members or general residents can also attend. For detailed education schedules, please contact the neighborhood community service center.

To lower the barrier to joining the resident autonomy committee, the district abolished the mandatory pre-education completion before appointment of committee members in February and is conducting various customized education programs after appointing members to strengthen the operation of resident autonomy.

A district official said, “We will spare no support to ensure that the Gwanak-type Resident Autonomy Committee fulfills its role as the resident representative organization of Gwanak-gu,” and added, “We will continue to implement policies and projects that all residents can empathize with, centered on the resident autonomy committees.”
