Pyeongchang-gun has completed the construction of Hoenggyedaero No. 3-3 drainage facility. Pyeongchang-gun announced that it has completed the drainage facility installation work in the area of 376-15 Hoenggye-ri, Daegwallyeong-myeon.
Chemoa Apartments and shopping malls near No. 3-3, Hoenggye Urban Planning Road, were experiencing great inconveniences every summer due to sedimentation from the field behind the building.
There was a drainage facility in the field to dispose of rainwater, but during the summer rainy season or typhoons, due to rain exceeding the allowable capacity of the drainage facility, apartments and shops in low-lying areas were covered with muddy water, causing damage to nearby residents.
To solve this problem, the county spent about 110 million won to install drainage facilities. The county expects to prevent damage from sedimentation by installing a new drainage channel that connects to the river with a water pipe of about 200 meters.
Lee Jeong-ui, head of the county’s urban department, said, “We will always listen and actively work to resolve the issue so that residents do not experience any inconvenience.”
Meanwhile, Pyeongchang-gun announced that the local brand development project ‘Curious Village’, a program in which local residents participate to develop a unique village brand that reflects local characteristics as a support project to revitalize local lifelong education in 2024, has been successfully completed.
The county selected three villages (Surimdae Village in Yupo 2-ri, Bongpyeong-myeon, Baekok Village in Baekokpo 1-ri, Yongpyeong-myeon, and Herb Village in Duil 1-ri, Jinbu-myeon) through a public announcement last June. Afterwards, local village stories were discovered through village meetings, and images that could represent the area were discussed, and brand logos for each village were developed in collaboration with Chungju City, a consortium city.
Afterwards, the county conducted brand development case studies and lectures on making cutting boards using logos so that residents could tell stories about the village brand and reflect it in revitalizing village tourism. Local instructors also provided training using brand logos that took advantage of each village’s characteristics. We promoted experiential resident capacity building education.
Residents of each village actively participated in several meetings and training programs and worked hard to develop the village brand and promote the village. They responded with satisfaction, saying that their sense of belonging and pride in their village increased during the training process.
▲Bongpyeong Surimdae Village (Chairman Yeon Si-kwon) completed the image of a village that emphasizes beautiful nature as its strength through an urban sketching process that captures the village scenery, and held an exhibition of the work at the village general meeting on the 20th with about 80 residents and officials gathered. Efforts were made to promote the village brand.
▲Yongpyeong Baekok Village (Village Jinbong Kim) made buckwheat cookies and buckwheat cupcakes using buckwheat flour, a specialty of the village, through a cooking class, and promoted the village brand by packaging them with stickers containing the village logo.
▲Jinbu Medicinal Herb Village (Chairman Lee Gyeong-su) refurbished its existing logo and promoted the village logo so that it can be seen in everyday life through a pottery painting process that could spread awareness of the new village brand logo to residents.
Pyeongchang County Governor Shim Jae-guk said, “The county is actively working to create regional economic effects by combining local resources and lifelong education. “We hope that this project will serve as an opportunity for tourists to pay attention and visit the village they are curious about.”
