Discussion Forum on Revitalizing Haenggung-gil and Namun Rodeo Commercial Areas

On the 5th, Paldal-gu in Suwon City held a discussion forum at the conference room on the 2nd floor of the Haenggung-dong Community Center for merchants of Haenggung-gil (Craft Street, Taste Village) and Namun Rodeo to discuss revitalizing their commercial areas.

The forum was held in the format of an evaluation discussion based on the results of an on-site visit on May 21st to Jangssu Village and Samcheong-dong Hanok Village in Seoul, as well as Insa-dong Street.

The discussion was organized by topic into four categories: Things to See, Food and Dining, Entertainment, and Resting Places. Diverse opinions and spirited debates were exchanged among merchant association members and craft street artists who participated in the on-site visit.

Gu Office Chief Yoon Geon-mo, who led the discussion forum, said, "Through this forum, regarding pending issues such as garbage disposal problems and illegally parked vehicles, the merchants' associations' own problem-solving efforts must come first, and if active institutional support from relevant agencies follows, commercial area revitalization will be accelerated."
