Gyeonggi Province will publish a white paper summarizing residents' opinions on Gyeonggi International Airport within this month.

On the 11th, Gyeonggi Province announced that after holding a results briefing session on the 'Deliberative Public Survey on the Construction of Gyeonggi International Airport' at the provincial office on the 9th, it plans to publish a white paper summarizing residents' views on the future vision of Gyeonggi International Airport in August.

The deliberative public survey on the construction of Gyeonggi International Airport was conducted under the theme "The Future Vision of Gyeonggi International Airport Desired by Residents." It consisted of a first survey conducted from May 12 to 20 targeting 3,000 Gyeonggi residents, followed by deliberative discussions with 206 resident participants on June 22-23 (including the 2nd and 3rd surveys).

The recent results briefing session included the screening of the video white paper on the deliberative public survey, presentation of the results, remarks from the resident participants, and the delivery of the 'Deliberative Public Survey Results Report' by the resident participants.

The 206 resident participants proposed four directions for the construction of Gyeonggi International Airport: ▲Global Economic Airport (economic growth, national competitiveness, logistics hub airport, etc.) ▲Customer-tailored Smart Airport (smart airport, improved convenience and comfort, etc.) ▲Regional Economic Revitalization Hub Airport (securing transportation networks, regional economic revitalization, etc.) ▲Environmentally Friendly Carbon-neutral Airport (eco-friendly airport, etc.).

Gyeonggi Province will publish a white paper this month reflecting the diverse residents' opinions presented as the future vision of Gyeonggi International Airport in this deliberative public survey. The voices of residents will also be incorporated into the ongoing 'Study on the Vision and Implementation Plan for the Construction of Gyeonggi International Airport.'

Lee Seon-woo, Chairperson of the Residents' Deliberation Committee, said, "This deliberative public survey reflects Gyeonggi Province's commitment to building an international airport together with its residents," adding, "I was deeply moved to see the resident participants attentively listening to experts' presentations, asking questions, and maturely exchanging opinions with those who had different views."

Resident participants attending the results briefing session expressed, "We appreciate that residents' opinions on the construction of Gyeonggi International Airport were heard from the early stages of policy development. We hope there will be more opportunities to continuously listen to residents' opinions rather than it being a one-time event," and added, "We will continue to watch Gyeonggi International Airport with interest."

Han Hyun-soo, Head of the Gyeonggi International Airport Promotion Team, stated, "The opinions proposed by the resident participants through this public survey will be importantly reflected in the future research on the construction promotion plan for Gyeonggi International Airport," promising, "Gyeonggi Province will continue to listen carefully to the voices of residents and do its best to ensure that their intentions are reflected."
