Dongducheon City to Revitalize Deteriorated Residential Area in Bosan-dong··· Pushing for Designation of 'Small-Scale Housing Maintenance Management District'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Jin-ho] Dongducheon City held a mid-term report meeting on the 26th in the city hall situation room attended by the Vice Mayor, relevant departments and officials regarding the 'Establishment of Small-Scale Housing Maintenance Management Plan for Bosan-dong and Service for Designation of Management District'.

The 'Small-Scale Housing Maintenance Management District' is a system that prevents unplanned development in deteriorated and low-rise residential areas where large-scale redevelopment is difficult, and supports the public in systematically establishing small-scale housing maintenance management plans and planned development of infrastructure such as roads and parks.

The area around Bosan-dong 400-1 is a region where the necessity for establishing systematic improvement measures for deteriorated residential areas has been continuously raised, and the city has been pursuing the process of establishing management plans and designating management districts since 2024.

At this mid-term report meeting, progress to date and results of target site status analysis were shared, and major contents including the management plan proposal and future implementation schedule were explained. The city also gathered opinions from related departments and had in-depth discussions on the direction of business promotion.

The city plans to carefully review and reflect the opinions presented at the mid-term report meeting, supplement the management plan proposal, and proceed step by step with follow-up procedures including resident opinion gathering and resident public review.

Meanwhile, the city expects that this project will bring substantial residential environment improvement effects to residents of Bosan-dong, who have endured poor living conditions for a long time despite their location near a subway station.

A city official stated, "We will establish an effective management plan that sufficiently reflects resident opinions and promote the management district designation process smoothly to do our best in creating a pleasant residential environment and laying the foundation for revitalization of the original downtown." He added, "We hope that this project will bring warm changes to the daily lives of Bosan-dong residents and further serve as a new starting point for Dongducheon's original downtown to regain vitality."
