Temporary Offices to Be Used, Including Sports Complex and Branch Offices
Jung Myung-geun: "Strengthening Balanced Development and Citizen-Centered Administration"

On August 25, the city of Hwaseong in Gyeonggi Province announced that, following the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's approval for the establishment of general districts, it plans to decentralize administrative functions that have so far been concentrated at city hall. Starting in February next year, these functions will be distributed among the newly operating district offices.

To this end, four new district offices-Manse District Office, Hyohang District Office, Byeongjeom District Office, and Dongtan District Office-will be established and allocated to different regions, taking into account local characteristics and residents' accessibility.

The Manse District Office will oversee the western part of Hwaseong, managing 10 towns and neighborhoods, including Hyangnam-eup, Ujeong-eup, Namyang-eup, Mado-myeon, Songsan-myeon, Seosin-myeon, Jangan-myeon, Yanggam-myeon, Paltan-myeon, and Saesol-dong. The temporary office will be set up at Hwaseong Sports Complex, located at 470 Hyangnam-ro. An additional branch office will be established near city hall.

The Hyohang District Office will be responsible for the central and northern regions, centered on Bongdam-eup, and will cover Maesong-myeon, Bibong-myeon, Jeongnam-myeon, and Gibaedong. The temporary office will utilize a leased building at 51-1 Buncheon-ri, Bongdam-eup.

The Byeongjeom District Office will provide administrative services to the eastern urban areas, including Byeongjeom 1-dong, Byeongjeom 2-dong, Hwasan-dong, Jinan-dong, and Banwol-dong. The current Dongbu Branch Office at 23 Byeongjeom 3-ro will serve as the district office.

The Dongtan District Office will oversee the entire Dongtan area, from Dongtan 1-dong to Dongtan 9-dong. The temporary office will be located at the Dongtan Branch Office (122 Dongtan Yeok-ro).

The city also plans to construct new district office buildings for each district after gathering residents' opinions and conducting feasibility studies.

Jung Myung-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong, stated, "Establishing district offices is not simply an administrative restructuring, but the beginning of more closely connected administrative services for our citizens," adding, "We will further strengthen the foundation for balanced urban development and citizen-centered administration."
