Through this agreement, the county aims to systematically manage neglected areas of forest damage in mountain regions, which account for more than 70% of Yangpyeong County's total area, and to facilitate prompt restoration and recovery in line with public interests.


The "Mountain Area Restoration Project" is a long-term initiative with significant public benefit, requiring systematic implementation and management by both the national and local governments. The Forestry Cooperative possesses specialized technology and equipment for the forestry industry and is also capable of providing responsible post-restoration management as a public institution. For these reasons, the county determined that collaboration with the Yangpyeong County Forestry Cooperative was the most suitable option and signed the nation's first business agreement of its kind.


Under the agreement, Yangpyeong County will, in accordance with the Mountain Management Act, claim permit guarantee insurance from guarantee insurance companies in cases such as non-compliance with disaster prevention orders. The county will then work with the Forestry Cooperative to handle the entire process from design and construction to completion in an integrated manner. This enables rapid mountain area restoration, maintenance, and efficient administrative work, while also strengthening expertise in joint inspections and preemptive monitoring activities in preparation for the thawing and rainy seasons.



Yangpyeong County Governor Jeon Jinseon stated, "This agreement enables professional mountain area restoration projects and systematic management of neglected sites," adding, "We will continue to take the lead in establishing disaster prevention systems, including joint inspections during the rainy and thawing seasons."
