According to the province on October 14, this survey will serve as foundational data for the establishment of the 6th Community Social Security Plan (2027-2030). The survey will comprehensively analyze residents' living conditions, welfare needs, and the current status of community welfare resources, with a focus on setting the direction for future social security policies.

The province will deploy 80 professional surveyors to conduct face-to-face interviews by visiting 9,100 households across 14 cities and counties by November 30. The main survey items include: ▲general household status ▲needs related to social security ▲urgency and perceived effectiveness of efforts in various welfare sectors ▲living conditions and satisfaction with the local community.

This survey is conducted regularly every four years in accordance with Article 35 of the "Act on the Use and Provision of Social Security Benefits and the Discovery of Beneficiaries." It is especially significant in that it aims to develop welfare policies reflecting voices from the field amid rapidly changing social conditions such as super-aging, the increase in single-person households, and the expansion of care needs.

The survey results will be analyzed and compiled into a report by February next year and delivered to each city and county. Based on these results, Jeonbuk Province and its cities and counties plan to incorporate them into the 6th Community Social Security Plan, which will be implemented from 2027, in order to establish customized welfare policies tailored to regional characteristics and build an effective social security system.

Yang Sumi, head of the Provincial Social Welfare Policy Division, stated, "This community needs survey is an important process to accurately identify the welfare services required by our residents," and added, "We ask for active participation so that we can create welfare policies that residents can truly experience."
