Jangsu County in North Jeolla Province has been selected for the "Rural Stay-Type Complex Development Pilot Project" organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

According to the county on the 31st, this project is being launched for the first time this year. It supports the rental of 20 small-scale residential units, vegetable gardens, and communal shelters to citizens who do not have an address or workplace in the city or county where the complex is located.

Through this initiative, the county aims to meet the increasing demand from urban residents for rural stays and to usher in an era of "4 Days in the City, 3 Days in the Countryside," providing new leisure and relaxation spaces.

The selection evaluation considered factors such as the location conditions of the project site, plans for facility construction and exchange programs within the complex, operation and management plans, and expected effects such as attracting a living population. In particular, the county received high marks for its clear development goals and themes, as well as its plan to promote multiple interconnected projects in a complex manner.

From this year until 2027, the county plans to invest a total of 3 billion KRW (1.5 billion from the national government and 1.5 billion from local funds) over three years to build 20 small-scale stay facilities (33㎡ each) and a "Chihyu Center" that incorporates forest recreation and health healing concepts in the area of 788-7, Nohari, Jangsu-eup.

In addition, the county plans to pursue further linked projects within the site using the Local Extinction Response Fund, creating parks, workation facilities, and residential complexes for relaxation and leisure.

Through these efforts, the county aims to support urban residents so they can experience farming, leisure, and tourism during their stays in rural areas, and ultimately create an environment that encourages them to settle in the county.

County Governor Choi Hunsik said, "With the selection for this pilot project, we have created an opportunity to promote an increase in the rural living population. We will actively respond to the crisis of local extinction by attracting urban residents dreaming of rural life and providing various opportunities for agricultural and leisure activities."

Meanwhile, the rental target for the stay facilities will be urban residents who can practice the "4 Days in the City, 3 Days in the Countryside" lifestyle, with a one-year rental period and a special condition requiring at least 50 days of visits per year.
