Busan Gijang-gun has secured approximately 1.9 billion KRW in national funding after three projects were selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s ‘2024 Greenbelt Resident Support Projects.’


The ‘Greenbelt Resident Support Projects’ are initiatives led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to improve the quality of life for residents in greenbelt areas and promote balanced regional development. These projects are divided into ‘Living Infrastructure Projects,’ such as village access road construction and parking lot development, and ‘Environmental and Cultural Projects,’ which include trail creation and landscape enhancement through competitive selection.


Gijang-gun had one project selected in the ‘Living Infrastructure Projects’ category?the Nareumteocheon Maintenance Project?and two projects in the ‘Environmental and Cultural Projects’ category?the Ilgwangsan Baramnuri Trail Creation Project and the Imgi Village Small Park Creation Project.


Accordingly, the county plans to invest a total of 2.5 billion KRW, including additional county funds for 2024, to carry out these projects.

First, the Nareumteocheon Maintenance Project, classified as a living infrastructure project, will allocate 200 million KRW (80 million KRW in national funds) for detailed design to create a waterfront leisure space, prevent disasters according to the small stream maintenance plan, and expand basic infrastructure.


Additionally, to make it easier and more convenient for residents and hikers to visit Ilgwangsan, 1.8 billion KRW (1.44 billion KRW in national funds) will be invested in the Ilgwangsan Baramnuri Trail Creation Project to improve the steepness of existing hiking trails and establish a barrier-free forest path.


The Imgi Village Small Park Creation Project reflects the wishes of Imgi Village residents, with a project budget of 500 million KRW (400 million KRW in national funds) to build spaces for sports facilities, playgrounds, and resting areas based on residents’ suggestions.



County Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, “I hope this project selection will help improve the living conditions of residents who have experienced inconveniences due to the designation of the greenbelt area, even if only slightly. We will actively support discovering more resident support projects to enhance the lives of our residents.”
