Hapcheon-gun Extends Application Period for Resident Participatory Budget Proposal Projects
"Wishes for the 2024 Budget Formulation"
County Residents Survey Also Underway
Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is extending the deadline for the focused public proposal period for the 2024 participatory budgeting projects until the 13th.
The proposal projects are categorized into three types: ▲‘Government Participation Type’ contributing to county administration development and improving the quality of life in local communities ▲‘Eup/Myeon Resident-led Type’ for regional development at the eup and myeon levels ▲‘Living Safety Type’ aimed at crime prevention and protection of socially vulnerable groups. Projects that do not meet budget allocation criteria or support only specific individuals or organizations are excluded from the call.
According to the county, this year, a new ‘Living Safety Type’ category has been established to discover projects that enhance residents’ safety in daily life. Extra points will be given to disaster, accident prevention, and safety-related projects directly linked to residents’ safety, and these will be actively considered during budget allocation.
Any Hapcheon resident can participate in the proposal process by submitting a proposal form either by visiting the eup/myeon offices or the county office’s Planning and Budget Division, or online through the participatory budgeting board on the county office website. Projects proposed by residents will be reviewed by the relevant departments and deliberated by the Participatory Budget Committee before being reflected in the 2024 budget plan.
County Governor Kim Yoon-cheol said, “Residents’ interest is the starting point of the participatory budgeting system,” and added, “We ask for your active interest and participation so that various projects that improve residents’ quality of life can be discovered.”
