The tour began with a harmonica performance by residents at the Seobu 2-dong Community Center, followed by an introduction to various programs run by the Seobu 2-dong Community Committee.
Participants benchmarked best practices of local autonomy, such as traditional customs and rites, and gained much inspiration on how the Seongsan-myeon Resident Autonomy Committee could develop.
In particular, the cases in which the Seobu 2-dong Resident Autonomy Committee encouraged the active participation of local residents and brought about positive changes in the local community through this served as a great motivation for the Seongsan-myeon committee members.
During the tour, a Q&A session was held on various measures to promote local autonomy, providing an opportunity for the members to exchange opinions and explore the possibility of practical application.
Lee Byeong-jin, chairman of the Seongsan-myeon Resident Autonomy Committee, said, “Through this visit to an advanced region, the Seongsan-myeon Resident Autonomy Committee was able to find a direction to take and an opportunity to more actively carry out resident autonomy activities,” adding, “We will continue to work for the growth of the Resident Autonomy Committee.”
Seongsan-myeon head Seong Hye-gyeong said, “I was able to learn a lot through the successful operation of the Seobu 2-dong Resident Autonomy Committee, and I hope that this tour will serve as an opportunity to promote mutual development between Seongsan-myeon and Seobu 2-dong.”
He also added, “We will continue to spare no administrative support to encourage voluntary participation and strengthen the capabilities of Seongsan-myeon residents’ autonomous committee members.”
Through this tour, the Seongsan-myeon Resident Autonomy Committee is seeking new directions for development and planning various programs and activities to revitalize resident autonomy.
Seongsan-myeon plans to actively promote resident autonomy activities that can bring about real change in the local community based on these benchmarking cases in the future.
