Gwangmyeong 7-dong Saeteo Village 'Small-scale Housing Maintenance' 추진... 1605 Households Move In

Gyeonggi Province approved the 'Small-scale Housing Maintenance Management Plan Amendment (Draft)' for Saeteo Village in Gwangmyeong 7-dong, Gwangmyeong City, with a total of 1,605 households on the 4th.

The small-scale housing maintenance project is aimed at improving the residential environment of old small-scale houses in urban areas to enhance the quality of residential life. It targets areas or street blocks densely populated with old and deteriorated buildings and promotes autonomous housing maintenance projects, small-scale reconstruction projects, small-scale redevelopment projects, and street housing maintenance projects.

The small-scale housing maintenance management area is a system introduced in 2021 to activate and systematically promote small-scale housing maintenance projects.

This includes small-scale housing maintenance projects, infrastructure, and community facilities, enabling planned maintenance and granting special provisions such as expansion of the street housing maintenance project implementation area, floor area ratio incentives, and national government support for infrastructure.

Saeteo Village in Gwangmyeong 7-dong was one of the 12 candidate sites for small-scale housing maintenance management areas in the province selected by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport through a public contest in 2021.

Gyeonggi Province approved Gwangmyeong City's management plan in December 2021, and this amendment approval has laid the groundwork for concrete project implementation.

According to the newly approved management plan for Gwangmyeong 7-dong, the original four small-scale housing maintenance project zones will be changed to three street housing maintenance project zones, supplying 1,605 apartment units. Notably, Zones 1 and 2 were decided as a single maintenance project zone with LH participation, planning a zone area of 31,203㎡, marking the first case of expanding the scale of street housing maintenance projects promoted by the province.

Additionally, plans include expanding insufficient maintenance infrastructure and community facilities within the management area, supported by national and provincial funds. New infrastructure such as roads, small parks, and underground parking lots will be established, and new construction and remodeling of community facilities will be promoted. To respond to the population composition after the maintenance project, community facilities will include integrated educational and cultural spaces such as senior leisure facilities, infant care facilities, and youth book cafes to enhance community cohesion and improve cultural welfare and educational services.

Kim Tae-su, Director of Urban Regeneration at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Small-scale housing maintenance projects have the advantage of being implemented quickly as procedures such as designation of maintenance zones and promotion committees are omitted compared to general maintenance projects," adding, "We will strive to improve quality of life and realize residential welfare through rapid maintenance of aging urban areas via the small-scale housing maintenance management plan."
