[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Yangpyeong County announced on the 21st that it will expand and improve administrative systems in the health, welfare, youth, and general administration sectors in the new year of 2026 to provide more comprehensive support and highly perceptible administration to residents' overall lives.
The newly improved systems have been prepared with a focus on enhancing residents' quality of life through strengthened medical accessibility, expanded support for youth and newlyweds, and the opening of Yangpyeong Comprehensive Sports Center.
In the health sector, the newly opened Mangmi Health Clinic will expand the existing 17 health clinics to a system of 18 health clinics.
Mangmi Health Clinic, located in Daepyeong-ri, Jibyeong-myeon, will oversee Mangmi 1·2-ri and Daepyeong 1-ri, and plans to enhance local medical accessibility by providing basic medical services including primary care, chronic disease management, vaccinations, and home visit services.
Additionally, the sarcopenia prevention project will be expanded from the existing 7 health clinics to all 18 health clinics, broadening the support scope from the eastern region to residents aged 50 and above across all towns and townships.
Furthermore, the national HPV vaccination target will be expanded from girls to boys, and the influenza vaccination target will also be expanded from age 13 to age 14.
In addition, to promote blood donation participation, 20,000 won worth of Yangpyeong Love gift certificates will be additionally provided per donation, and the multi-child preference card eligibility will be expanded from the existing "three or more children" to "families with two or more children."
In the welfare sector, the scope of real estate brokerage fee support has been expanded so that not only basic livelihood assistance recipients but also youth preparing for self-reliance can now receive support.
This is a project supporting brokerage fees for housing transactions (purchase and lease) worth up to 200 million won.
Additionally, the Gyeonggi Province jeonse (long-term rental deposit) damage support project has been expanded, allowing duplicate support for emergency housing transfer fees and emergency living expenses, thereby strengthening practical support for households affected by jeonse damages.
Moreover, the emergency welfare support living expense will be increased to 783,000 won per month according to an approximately 7.2% increase in the standard median income baseline, and the scope of eligible recipients will also be expanded, further strengthening protection for households in crisis situations.
In the youth sector, requirements for youth entrepreneur rent support have been relaxed by raising the annual sales standard from the existing 100 million won to 200 million won, and the rent payment standard has been removed.
For newlyweds, the application period for the home loan interest support project has been moved up from the second half to the first half of the year, and income standard calculation has been changed to the standard from two years prior, making faster support possible.
Additionally, the military enlistment support fund system has been improved to allow applications within six months after enlistment, moving away from the existing method of providing support only to applicants before enlistment, which is expected to boost the morale of military personnel.
In the general administration sector, Yangpyeong County's living wage will be increased to 11,300 won per hour, maintaining a level 9.5% higher than the 2026 minimum wage of 10,320 won.
Furthermore, the Yangpyeong Comprehensive Sports Center will officially open on March 3, allowing residents to use various sports facilities including a swimming pool and gymnasium, and the living sports infrastructure will be further strengthened.
Yangpyeong County's Video Media Center will conclude its trial operations and move into systematic operation with fees charged.
Small businesses, farmers, and social economy organizations will receive full fee waiver benefits, while lower-middle class households, single-parent families, and national merit recipients will receive 50% discount benefits to use the facility.
