Seondo Village, an island of daffodils in Shinan-gun, takes a leap forward as a carbon-neutral village. Seondo Village, famous for Daffodil Island in Shinan-gun, is taking the lead in carbon neutrality. This carbon neutral project, which is being carried out with the goal of increasing energy efficiency and strengthening awareness of environmental protection, replaces lights with LEDs to maximize energy efficiency in residential spaces and produces carbon neutral certification nameplates to encourage voluntary participation of residents for 105 households.

In addition, to increase understanding of the ongoing business, we ran a total of three experiential educational programs such as making kalimba, moss terrarium, natural handmade soap, and mosquito repellent.
One resident who participated in the project expressed surprise and satisfaction, saying, “I didn’t know what the term carbon neutrality meant, but through experiential education, it was an opportunity to understand a little, and my small actions can protect the environment.”
Park Woo-ryang, Mayor of Shinan-gun, said, “I believe that the practice of carbon neutrality, which started in Seondo Village, will be more meaningful with all residents working together and will become the cornerstone for creating a sustainable, clean future.” He added, “Shinan-gun’s commitment to carbon neutrality.” “As an important first step, we will continue our efforts to respond to climate change and achieve sustainable regional development,” he added.
Meanwhile, in order to create a civil service culture that is conducive to raising children from marriage to raising children, Shinan-gun passed a ‘Shinan-gun local public servant service ordinance’ at the Shinan-gun council’s regular meeting on the 20th, which provides support for special leave (maternity protection leave) to pregnant employees considering the 40-week pregnancy period. ‘ has been revised.
Through this revised ordinance, it is possible to work 4 days a week with 1 day of special leave per week during the pregnancy period (40 weeks) by linking the existing pregnancy examination leave (10 days) and maternity protection leave (30 days). You can take care of a healthy body and mind for childbirth. In addition, 5 days of long-term employment leave, which was only provided to public servants with more than 10 years of service, is also granted to employees with more than 3 years but less than 10 years, preventing the departure of public servants with less seniority and providing opportunities for rest and recharge.
Park Woo-ryang, mayor of Shinan County, said, “With the revision of this ordinance, we will do our best to establish an organizational culture that is child-friendly by creating an atmosphere where work and child care can be combined, including marriage, childbirth, and child care.”
This year, Shinan-gun is making efforts to create a childbirth- and child-rearing-friendly environment by revising the ordinance to expand childcare hours to the 6th grade of elementary school, installing a lounge and parking lot exclusively for pregnant women, and creating an atmosphere where flexible work hours and childcare hours can be freely used.
