The discussions were arranged to hear residents' hopes for change and concerns ahead of the development of the semiconductor cluster, and to identify necessary policies together.


A total of 18 sessions will be held at the administrative welfare centers in the 21 dong neighborhoods. Some dong neighborhoods will hold joint sessions.


The topic is “What should we prepare for the development of the semiconductor cluster?” The discussions will cover five areas: jobs and the local economy, transportation, housing, education, and the environment. Residents will be given examples in advance from areas such as Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, where semiconductor plants have been established. Proposals from each dong will be developed further at a town hall meeting next year, 2027, and then shared through a public forum for district residents.


Residents who cannot attend in person can also submit their opinions online. They can use Naver Form to share their hopes and concerns about the development of the semiconductor cluster, as well as suggest what Gwangsan-gu should prepare for.



Park Byung-gyu, head of Gwangsan-gu, said, “Social dialogue is a project that Gwangsan-gu has made a priority since the eighth elected administration began. What matters in preparing for the region’s future is listening carefully to people’s everyday lives and the voices of those on the ground.”
