This year, the city invested 600 million won to successfully complete two resident support projects: the Road Maintenance Project for Vulnerable Groups in Samsangri and the Majendong Water Supply Vulnerable Area Distribution Project.


The Road Maintenance Project for Vulnerable Groups in Samsangri addressed the inconvenience of travel for vulnerable residents, including children in care facilities, and improved damaged roads to create a safer environment for both vehicles and pedestrians.


In addition, through the Majendong Water Supply Vulnerable Area Distribution Project, a hygienic and stable tap water supply system was established for residents in areas previously dependent on groundwater and lacking access to public water supply.



The resident support project for development-restricted zones is a system in which the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport annually reviews project plans from each city and province, selects support recipients, and allocates budgets. Yangju City achieved the result of having a new river flood recovery project (with 1.5 billion won in national funding) selected for next year.
