Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gijae) announced that it will publicly recruit 210 members of the residents' autonomy committees from 7 neighborhoods (Mok 1·4-dong, Sinwol 2·6·7-dong, Sinjeong 1·6-dong) who will lead the residents' autonomy committees in 2024 until October 13.

The residents' autonomy committee is a neighborhood-level resident participation organization that carries out matters related to public-private cooperation to revitalize grassroots autonomy and promote democratic participation awareness. It discovers various local issues and agendas, proposes them to the resident participation budget projects, and executes the decided projects in cooperation with the administration.

The district started with 5 pilot neighborhoods for residents' autonomy committees in 2019 and has expanded to all neighborhoods since last year. Next year, 30 members from each of the 7 neighborhoods (Mok 1·4-dong, Sinwol 2·6·7-dong, Sinjeong 1·6-dong) will be recruited as the 2nd term committee members to begin operation.

The eligibility criteria for residents' autonomy committee members are ▲persons registered as residents in the respective neighborhood ▲persons who have worked for more than one year at a business located in the respective neighborhood ▲persons belonging to schools, institutions, or organizations located in the respective neighborhood.

To apply, visit the residents' centers (autonomy halls) of the 7 neighborhoods currently recruiting and submit an application form, or send it via email to the person in charge at each autonomy hall. Completion of a 6-hour residents' autonomy school scheduled in October is mandatory.

Afterward, the neighborhood committee selection management committee will conduct a public lottery (scheduled for November) among those who completed the residents' autonomy school to finalize the selection of members. The appointed members will serve a two-year term from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025, and newly appointed members may be reappointed once.

Lee Gijae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "As the residents' autonomy committee is a participatory organization contributing to regional development, we hope many people who will represent their villages with responsibility and actively participate will show great interest and involvement."
