This ceremony was organized to present appointment certificates to the newly formed 11th council members following the expiration of the 10th council’s term, and to discuss the future direction of operations through a roundtable meeting.


The 11th Resident Support Council consists of a total of 14 members: two city council members representing the area where the waste disposal facility is located, ten resident representatives from Joyang-dong, Cheongho-dong, and Daepo-dong, and two experts in the environmental field. Each member will serve a two-year term.


The Resident Support Council, based on the Act on the Promotion of Installation of Waste Disposal Facilities and Support for Surrounding Areas, is responsible for a variety of joint projects that benefit all residents. These include selecting specialized research institutions for environmental impact assessments, coordinating the installation of convenience facilities for local residents, promoting support projects for residents in the surrounding impact area, and recommending resident monitoring personnel.



Lee Byungseon, Mayor of Sokcho, stated, "The Resident Support Council serves as the voice of residents in the areas affected by the waste disposal facility and plays a pivotal role in the development and safety of the local community. Sokcho City will work closely with the council to do our utmost to enhance residents’ welfare and improve their quality of life."
