[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County announced on the 25th that it has completed the creation of green leisure spaces in two locations: Nanjeong-ri in Gyodong-myeon and Seokmo-ri in Samsan-myeon.
The county selected two island villages facing concerns of aging populations and population decline as part of its response to population decline initiative, and began constructing the leisure spaces in earnest in May to improve residential conditions and promote residents' health, completing the project in September.
The leisure spaces are equipped with outdoor exercise equipment, walking trails, pergolas, and benches, and have been transformed into residential community spaces and pleasant green areas through the planting of trees and flowering plants.
Residents' opinions were actively collected throughout the planning and completion phases of the leisure space construction. In particular, the leisure space in Nanjeong-ri of Gyodong-myeon was named ‘Nanjeong Gaenggi-mi Leisure Space’ based on residents' suggestions and is receiving strong support from the community.
A county official stated, “We will continue to create community leisure spaces that provide pleasant residential environments and meeting places where neighbors can communicate,” and added, “We will do our best to create green environments that residents can feel and experience.”
