Supply of 1,743 Households through Small-Scale Housing Maintenance in Goyang Haengsin-dong

Current Status of Small-Scale Housing Maintenance Project in Haengsin-dong, Goyang

A ‘small-scale housing maintenance’ project capable of supplying 1,743 households is being promoted in Haengsin-dong, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.

The small-scale housing maintenance project aims to improve the residential environment of old small-scale houses in urban areas to enhance the quality of residential life. It is implemented in areas or street blocks densely populated with old and deteriorated buildings and is promoted through autonomous housing maintenance projects, small-scale reconstruction projects, small-scale redevelopment projects, and street housing maintenance projects.

Gyeonggi-do announced on the 6th that the Haengsin-dong small-scale housing maintenance management plan (draft) was recently approved after review by the provincial Urban Regeneration Committee.

Haengsin-dong in Goyang-si was selected as a candidate site for the management area pilot project in July 2022, and the management plan establishment service officially began in May 2023. The management plan (draft) was prepared by collecting opinions from the association and residents, and it has now passed the review of the provincial Urban Regeneration Committee.

Regarding the main project details, the maintenance scale is 79,216.5㎡ south of Garam Elementary School in the area of Haengsin-dong 204-5. The target site mostly consists of old low-rise residential areas surrounded by large apartment complexes. To promote the small-scale housing maintenance project systematically, it is planned in seven blocks to enable the creation of medium-sized housing complexes, and the small-scale housing maintenance project will be carried out gradually.

Gyeonggi-do plans to create open shared facilities where local necessary facilities such as libraries and senior welfare facilities will be installed, considering the diverse population demand expected after the maintenance project is implemented. The park currently located south of Garam Elementary School will be expanded in size, and a parking lot will be complexly constructed underground to expand spaces and facilities needed by local residents.

The small-scale housing maintenance management area is a system introduced in 2021 to activate and systematically promote small-scale housing maintenance projects, designated within a maximum of 100,000㎡.

This includes not only small-scale housing maintenance projects but also infrastructure and resident shared facilities, enabling planned implementation. Special measures such as expanding the area of street housing maintenance project implementation zones, floor area ratio incentives like zoning upgrades, and national funding support for infrastructure are granted.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has been conducting a call for candidate sites for management area pilot projects to induce the designation of small-scale housing maintenance management areas since 2021, selecting 12 locations within the province.

Kim Tae-su, Director of Urban Regeneration at Gyeonggi-do, said, "The small-scale housing maintenance project has the advantage of being promoted quickly as procedures such as designation of maintenance zones and promotion committees are omitted compared to general maintenance projects," adding, "We will strive to swiftly maintain old residential areas in the original downtown areas of the province through small-scale housing maintenance management plans to improve the quality of life and realize residential welfare for residents."
