The committee serves as an advisory and mediating body for conflict prevention and dispute resolution and is comprised of 11 appointed members, including legal professionals, academics, and conflict resolution experts. The meeting, which will be held at Dongjak District Office on this day, will be attended by Mayor Samyoung Ryu, the Head of the Redevelopment Project Fast-Track Task Force, relevant public officials, and the appointed committee members. The committee will share its operational direction, hold an appointment ceremony for the members, and address the first agenda item: conflicts arising from the Sadang 21 District residential redevelopment project.

The committee will identify and manage potential sources of conflict in each stage of the project in advance and convene meetings upon request from business departments or the Redevelopment Project Promotion Committee in the event of disputes. It will prepare mediation or recommendation plans by listening to stakeholder opinions and through expert review.

This committee's launch is a follow-up to Mayor Ryu’s first approved measure, the “Plan to Promote Redevelopment and Reconstruction Projects.” The district established the “Redevelopment Project Promotion Committee” on August 19 and has operated the “Project Area-Specific Promotion TFT” since September 11. With organizational restructuring, the “Rapid Development Bureau” has been positioned as the top unit, and the “Redevelopment Project Open Consultation Office” is also in operation.

Mayor Samyoung Ryu stated, “One of the main factors hindering the prompt progress of redevelopment projects is the occurrence of various conflicts during the process. Through the Conflict Management Committee, we will accurately understand the opinions of stakeholders and add the objective review of experts to ensure that redevelopment projects are not delayed by unnecessary conflict.”
