This budget school was organized to provide practical and concrete assistance to the activities of the resident participatory budget committee members ahead of next year's budget formulation, offering education on the understanding and operational cases of resident participatory budgeting.

So far, the county has been discovering various resident participatory budgets to reflect them in next year's main budget by holding traveling resident participatory budget salons and resident participatory budget briefings, as well as conducting budget formulation surveys to ensure sound financial management.

Governor Kim San said, "The resident participatory budgeting system, which realizes fiscal democracy, develops Muan-gun and makes the lives of residents happier," adding, "We ask for your interest and participation so that many diverse resident benefit projects, which the administration cannot reach, will be discovered."

Meanwhile, Muan-gun operates the 7th Resident Participatory Budget Committee, composed of 31 civilian members across 4 divisions, and over the past three years, 65 projects worth 7.6 billion KRW have been reflected in the budget through resident participatory budgeting, including the maintenance of the Oryongsan hiking trail in Samhyang-eup, creation of living sports spaces, and establishment of a temporary public parking lot in the Oryong district.
