With over 60 maintenance projects such as reconstruction and redevelopment underway, the district has established and operated a regular urban maintenance project education program consisting of 12 sessions in total during the first and second halves of the year to prevent conflicts among union members and support swift and transparent project execution.

Additionally, to accommodate residents who found it difficult to attend in person, the district posted lecture videos on the official YouTube channel ‘YangcheonTV,’ produced the ‘Yangcheon-gu Urban Maintenance Project Guidebook’ compiling expert lecture materials by field, and provided it along with certificates of completion, drawing great responses from participants through meticulous administration.

The distribution of participants showed that 70% were involved in reconstruction and redevelopment, and among lecture topics, the highest satisfaction was for the class on ‘Guidelines for Selecting Construction Companies after Union Establishment Approval,’ which is a core aspect of maintenance projects.

The district will also spare no administrative support to ensure that urban maintenance projects proceed stably and swiftly.”
