On September 8, the city announced that it is making public the “maintenance plan determination and district designation proposal” for four areas—Kimryangjang District 1, Mapyeong District 2, and Gorim District 2 in Cheoin-gu, as well as Mabuk District 1 in Giheung-gu—and is collecting residents’ opinions until October 3.

The designated areas cover a total of 131,398 square meters, consisting of 51,221㎡ in Kimryangjang District 1, 25,959㎡ in Mapyeong District 2, 40,900㎡ in Gorim District 2, and 13,318㎡ in Mabuk District 1.

This project is not a redevelopment method that involves demolishing all existing buildings and rebuilding. Instead, it will be pursued as an “on-site improvement type residential environment improvement project,” which upgrades insufficient infrastructure while maintaining the current village layout.

The maintenance plan includes road and walkway improvements, the creation of public parking lots, and the replacement of outdated water supply and sewage pipelines. There are also plans to expand security CCTV cameras and security lights, and to build shared facilities that residents can use together.

The city has reflected feedback from the resident consultative body and the district-specific town hall meetings held in August in the maintenance plan. During the public inspection period, the city will hold informational sessions for land and building owners and residents for each area to explain key project details and procedures, and to gather additional feedback.

The maintenance plan can be reviewed at the Housing Maintenance Division on the first floor of Yongin City Hall Annex. Land and building owners or stakeholders wishing to provide feedback must submit written opinions to the Housing Maintenance Division by October 3.

After reviewing resident opinions, the city will supplement the plan and proceed with the finalization of the maintenance plan and designation of maintenance districts, following opinion-gathering from the City Council and review by the Urban Planning Committee.

A Yongin City official stated, “This is the official process of releasing the maintenance plan developed with residents and collecting their input,” adding, “We will thoroughly improve essential infrastructure such as roads and parking lots so that residents can experience change in their daily lives.”
