This time, a total of 61 plots are available for lease: 51 plots for the general public and 10 plots designated for socially disadvantaged groups, such as basic livelihood security recipients and low-income households.

Applications can be submitted in person at the administrative welfare centers of the applicant's local town or district from the 11th to the 19th. Recipients will be selected fairly through a computerized lottery. The results will be announced on the city’s website and individually notified by text message on the 21st.

Winners of the plot lottery will be granted cultivation rights for approximately nine months, from the 4th of next month until December 12. The annual usage fee is 10,840 KRW per plot. Each plot measures 8 square meters (about 2.4 pyeong), allowing citizens to spread compost and plant seedlings of their choice, making it easy to experience agriculture even in the city.

This plot rental initiative is expected to bring various positive effects, beyond simply providing cultivation space, such as revitalizing urban agriculture, strengthening communication among residents, and preserving the environment.

A city official stated, "We expect this plot rental program to be a great opportunity for residents to experience the joy of nurturing nature and to build a sense of community with their neighbors."
