According to the county on the 5th, Gangjin recorded a total fertility rate of 1.47 last year, ranking second nationwide. The 'Gangjin Half-Price Travel for Everyone' policy has revitalized the local economy, and successful policies such as the vacant house remodeling project have received significant positive responses from other local governments and urban residents.
