Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam is promoting the ‘Apartment Management Support Project’ to support part of the repair costs for aging common facilities in apartment complexes, aiming to create a pleasant and safe residential environment for residents and foster a cooperative residential community culture.

Changwon Special City is taking steps to create a safe residential environment.

This year, the Apartment Management Support Project has a budget of 1 billion KRW. In December last year, 238 complexes (worth approximately 4.5 billion KRW) applied, and after a recent review by the evaluation committee, a total of 62 aging apartment complexes were selected: 22 complexes for aging facility improvements, 28 small-scale aging apartment complexes, 6 for community revitalization, and 6 for labor environment improvement projects. The main selection criteria included the degree of aging, complex size, and carbon point subscription rate.

The Apartment Management Support Project provides subsidies for ▲aging common facility improvement projects such as emergency repairs for disaster prevention within aging apartment complexes, road paving, exterior wall painting and waterproofing, and water supply pipe replacement; ▲community revitalization projects including resident communication and harmony activities, eco-friendly practice and experience activities, and hobby and health activities. This project has received positive responses from apartment residents every year.

In particular, this year, the project will promote ▲labor environment improvement projects to enhance workers’ working conditions, such as installing heating and cooling facilities in security offices and repairing rest areas.

The support amounts are up to 20 to 40 million KRW (with 30% to 50% self-payment) for aging common facility improvement projects, up to 5 million KRW for community revitalization projects, and up to 10 million KRW (with 50% self-payment) for labor environment improvement projects. The projects will commence from February.

An Jae-moon, Director of the Urban Policy Bureau, stated, “The Apartment Management Support Project is a project that citizens can tangibly feel in their daily lives. We will make every effort to promote the management support project to create a pleasant and safe residential environment in apartment complexes.”
