Buan-gun, Jeonbuk Province, is achieving visible results in improving residents' quality of life as the Hyanggok District urban regeneration project is gaining momentum.

According to the county on the 17th, this project has been underway since last year and will continue until 2026, targeting Hyanggok Village and Seowoe 3-gu Village. It includes various initiatives such as renovating old houses, upgrading village infrastructure, improving alleyway landscapes, constructing key facilities, and community revitalization programs.

Last year, the county laid the foundation for the project by obtaining approval for the Urban Regeneration Activation Plan, and from this year, various projects that residents can directly experience are being actively implemented.

The old house repair project supports up to 12.1 million KRW per household, with residents bearing 10% of the cost. Despite this condition, improvements have been completed on 53 houses. This exceeds the initial target, and by next year, a total of 65 houses will be supported, with more than 75% of the houses over 20 years old in the Hyanggok District expected to be newly renovated.

Demolition of 11 vacant houses has also been carried out, creating a clean and safe village environment. Parking lots and rest areas established throughout the village, along with two remodeled village halls, provide residents with convenient and comfortable living spaces. Improvements in living infrastructure have brought great satisfaction to the residents.

The alleyway landscape improvement project is being promoted with the concept of "Harmony of Tradition and Modernity," reflecting residents' ideas. It includes projects such as fence improvements, floor maintenance, and public design, which are scheduled to be fully implemented starting next year.

The county expects significant improvements in the living conditions and village environment of the Hyanggok District.

The key facility, the Complex Health Promotion Center, is being designed as an 800㎡ facility capable of health management and operating multipurpose programs. Scheduled for completion next year, it will serve as a space supporting community activities and sustainable regional development.

A county official said, "This project is expected to contribute to revitalizing the area by creating a pleasant and safe residential environment and fostering an attractive environment that preserves the identity of the Hyanggok District."
