Hamyang-gun Holds Briefing Session on Traditional Market Survey Results

155 Traditional Market Businesses
For 200 Traditional Market Visitors

On the 11th, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province held the '2022 Hamyang-gun Traditional Market Survey Results Briefing' at the county office's large conference room.

The briefing was attended by Jin Byeong-yeong, the county governor, Yang Dong-hee, head of the Southeast Regional Statistics Office, along with about 40 officials from Hamyang-gun and the Southeast Regional Statistics Office.

Hamyang County is holding a briefing session on the results of the traditional market survey.

In March, the county signed a business agreement with the Southeast Regional Statistics Office to efficiently carry out technical support such as program development from the survey planning stage and data processing and analysis of the survey results for the Hamyang-gun traditional market survey.

Then, from August 19 to September 5, three surveyors conducted a 14-day traditional market survey using a questionnaire developed by a consultative body composed of Hamyang-gun, the Southeast Regional Statistics Office, and experts, targeting 155 businesses in five traditional markets within the jurisdiction and 200 traditional market users.

At this briefing, an analysis of the survey results and a summary regarding the revitalization of traditional markets were presented.

Governor Jin said, “The biggest issue facing our county’s traditional markets is aging. To revitalize traditional markets, efforts toward e-commerce and digitalization are necessary, but it is practically difficult to proceed with these under the current circumstances.” He added, “We will share the identified issues and data analyzed in comparison with the previous year with relevant departments to further consider and research them, so that the basic data can be well utilized and reflected in future plans to revitalize traditional markets.”

The 2022 Hamyang-gun Traditional Market Survey Results Report is scheduled to be posted on Hamyang-gun’s official website in December.
