A Total of 100 Million Won in Project Funding This Year, Applications Accepted from February 14 to 29
Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu: "The Efforts of All Residents for the Community, the True Face of an Advanced City"

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) is recruiting for the ‘2024 Mapo-gu Good Village Making’ contest project, which realizes resident autonomy and contributes to the formation of village communities, until February 29.

The village making contest project supports activities where Mapo-gu residents voluntarily form groups to identify and solve local problems, with great significance in creating a livable village by the local residents themselves.

This year’s contest project has a total scale of 100 million KRW and is divided into three contest categories: Seed Stage, Execution Stage (social problem-solving type), and Resident Autonomy.

‘Seed Stage’ focuses on resident groups that emphasize attracting and discovering new participants, ‘Execution Stage’ focuses on identifying and solving local problems, and the ‘Resident Autonomy’ category applies to ongoing projects promoted by the resident autonomy committees of each neighborhood.

Projects with high potential for public interest realization in areas such as ▲human rights ▲environment ▲culture ▲education ▲village projects will be primarily selected, while one-time events of club nature are excluded.

Selected village making projects will receive support ranging from 1 million KRW to 10 million KRW per project, including instructor fees and activity allowances for project personnel.

Last year, 20 projects such as the pet culture project ‘Happy Petmily’ and the ‘Youth-Created Neighborhood Culture’ project were carried out, receiving great responses from participants.

Applications are open to resident groups of three or more people, non-profit organizations, resident autonomy committees, etc., who have an address or living area in Mapo-gu. Applicants must prepare the contest project plan and other application documents and submit them online through the Botaem-e system by the 29th.

The district office will select the final support targets through a preliminary interview and the village making review committee in March, and announce the results on the Mapo-gu website or notify individuals in April.

For more details, please refer to the announcement on the notice board of the Mapo-gu website or contact the Autonomous Administration Division, Autonomous Cooperation Team.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “The effort of residents working together for a better living area is exactly the quality that an advanced city, which continues to develop day by day, should have,” and added, “We hope for the interest and participation of many residents who love Mapo so that Mapo can become a place where everyone wants to live and a better Mapo for all.”
