The ordinance stipulates matters such as ▲providing education on inheritance and funeral procedures for elderly residents aged 65 and over in the district ▲prioritizing support for vulnerable groups in education ▲confidentiality obligations. It passed the review by the Economic and Welfare Committee at the 294th 1st Regular Session and is awaiting approval at the plenary session on the 28th.



Councilor Kim stated, “Through education, it is expected that the elderly will alleviate their anxiety about death by preparing life arrangement notebooks and other materials, helping them to meaningfully organize their remaining life.” She added, “I hope the Buk-gu Office will also implement policies that protect self-determination and dignity as human beings until the very last moment.”
