Report on Residents' Autonomy Committee Activities
Finalization of Next Year's Autonomy Plan

Guam 1-dong in Masanhwawon-gu, Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, successfully concluded the "5th Guam 1-dong Residents' General Assembly 2025" on August 20 in the main auditorium on the third floor of the Guam 1-dong Administrative Welfare Center.

Guam 1-dong Residents' General Assembly.

More than 100 people, including members of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, heads of local organizations, and residents, attended the assembly. During the event, they reviewed the 2025 activities of the Residents' Autonomy Committee and finalized the village autonomy plan to be implemented in 2026.

In particular, the autonomy plan was selected by combining the results of advance voting (held both online and offline from August 11 to 14) and on-site voting on the day of the assembly, reflecting the high level of interest and participation from residents.

The village autonomy projects proposed this time included four initiatives: △ "Bread Baking Community Room" (operating a baking and pastry class), △ "Restoring Gubugi (Turtle Rock)," △ "3GO" (revitalizing health, local business, and Gubugi), and △ "Creating a Pleasant and Safe Park." Of these, three projects, including the "Bread Baking Community Room," were finally selected. The chosen projects will be implemented in earnest starting in 2026 with a total budget of up to 20 million KRW.

Jung Songkwon, Chairperson of the Guam 1-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee, stated, "The residents' general assembly is a valuable process in which the people of Guam 1-dong's Gubugi Village create their own future," and expressed gratitude to all residents who participated.

Kang In-sook, Head of Guam 1-dong, said, "Through this assembly, the voices of residents have been directly reflected in the village plan. Going forward, Guam 1-dong will continue to actively discover and implement resident-led autonomy projects to build a warm and inclusive community for everyone."
