As part of his pledges for the ninth term of local government, Jung plans to further strengthen welfare policies that citizens can truly feel, such as the Life-cycle Welfare Platform 3.0, expanding voucher taxi services for the transportation disadvantaged, operating the 'Gwangyang Haedream Center' to resolve daily inconveniences, and building additional park golf courses. He also aims to reinforce the community’s safety net for seniors living alone and vulnerable groups in need of care, while expanding support for health management, culture, and leisure.


Jung Inhwa emphasized, "Senior welfare is not just about providing support—it is a matter of respect. Creating a city where seniors can live healthy and comfortable lives is an essential responsibility of local administration."



He added, "We will further expand and strengthen the life-cycle welfare platform, connecting children and seniors, to build a warm Gwangyang where seniors are respected and younger generations can also feel assured."
