Jungri, Yangji, Bongam, Cheonggye, and Docheong 2 Villages Selected

Wando County in South Jeolla Province announced on November 19 that it has been recognized as an excellent city/county for four consecutive years and received the grand prize for two consecutive years in the "Clean Jeonnam Best Village Project" evaluation hosted by Jeonnam Province.


The "Clean Jeonnam Best Village Project" is an initiative where residents themselves improve their living environment and promote community culture. This year, five villages in Wando County-Jungri in Gunoe-myeon, Yangji in Sinji-myeon, Bongam in Gogeum-myeon, Cheonggye in Cheongsan-myeon, and Docheong 2 Village-were selected as outstanding villages.

Jungri Village significantly enhanced nighttime safety by installing solar-powered LED lights along its village walking trails, while Yangji Village introduced a centralized garbage collection point to address the issue of illegal dumping of household waste. Bongam Village improved convenience for both residents and visitors by renovating the Bonghwangsan Mountain hiking trail.


Cheonggye Village transformed the exterior wall of its funeral hall with a ceramic mural, creating a new photo spot in the area. Docheong 2 Village received positive feedback for its resident-led efforts to improve the landscape-such as creating a rose vine along a historic alley and hosting a Best Village photo exhibition-which also helped link local tourism resources.


The county evaluated that these achievements once again demonstrate the effectiveness of resident participation in village improvement projects.



Lee Kisuk, Director of Administrative Support, stated, "This award is a valuable achievement created through direct participation by residents," adding, "We will continue to actively support resident-led village transformation in the future."
