Hamyang County Governor Jin Byungyoung Inspects Livelihood-Focused Sites and Listens to On-Site Voices

Strengthening Communication with Residents through On-Site Administration at Dongho Tea Field and Gotae Village Hall in Hyucheon-myeon

Jin Byungyoung, the governor of Hamyang County, Gyeongnam, visited key project sites in Hyeocheon-myeon, including the Dongho Village tea plantation site, the newly constructed Gotae Village community center, and the maintenance site of the Hyeocheon Public Sports Ground, following his visits to Hamyang-eup and Macheon-myeon. He checked the progress of these projects and listened to residents' suggestions, paying close attention to voices from the field.

County Governor Jin Byungyoung is inspecting the tea field development site in Dongho Village, a major project area in Hucheon-myeon, Hamyang County.

The Dongho tea plantation in Hyeocheon-myeon was established in 1472 by Kim Jongjik, a renowned scholar during the reign of King Seongjong of Joseon, when he was appointed as the governor of Hamyang. He created this government-operated tea plantation to reduce the tea tribute burden on the people. To further promote Kim Jongjik's spirit of caring for the people, Hamyang County is currently pursuing a project to develop the surrounding area as a tourist resource while linking it to increased income for local farmers.

Jin also visited the construction site of the Gotae Village community center, a long-awaited project for local residents, and the site for maintenance of the public sports ground. He listened directly to the vivid opinions of the residents and sought prompt solutions. This policy of communication and empathy has significantly shortened the time required to resolve civil complaints, earning strong support from the residents.

Jin emphasized, "To create a Hamyang where all residents are happy, it is essential to visit the field frequently and communicate directly. Going forward, I will continue to review all pending projects from the residents' perspective and provide the best possible administration that will satisfy them."
