This program was part of the Ministry of Education's Glocal University 30 initiative and was conducted as an experiential survey in which both local residents and visitors participated through the Gangwon tourism festival. Although a professional polling agency predicted about 800 participants, 1,150 people completed the survey in just four hours on the day of the event, demonstrating high interest.

The survey covered topics such as ▲ experience of living (settling) in Gangwon Province ▲ intention to settle ▲ factors considered for settlement ▲ support for migrants ▲ and opinions on settlement. The results will be used to analyze the perception gap between local residents and visitors from outside the province, and will serve as foundational data for developing tailored local residents & visitor programs and settlement talent training programs for enrolled students in the future.

Seong Siil, head of the Regional Settlement Support Center, stated, "The valuable voices of citizens will serve as the foundation for creating an environment in Gangwon where people want to continue living," and added, "Based on the collected data, we will continue to advance regional settlement support policies and university-local government cooperation models."

Meanwhile, the Regional Settlement Support Center at Hallym University plans to continue its research and practical efforts with both Gangwon residents and non-residents to create a "Gangwon that people want to live in and stay in."
