The survey indicated high levels of resident satisfaction, with 87.5% of citizens expressing approval of the city administration and 87.1% viewing it as a good place to live. However, the data also identified specific areas of concern, including employment (26.4% dissatisfaction), transportation and parking (18.5%), and healthcare (11.7%). Younger demographics showed a lower intention to remain in the city compared to older residents. Following the survey and the city’s designation as a population decline area, the local government is seeking to leverage new government financial support and tax incentives. The city is eligible for 6 billion KRW in 2027, with potential increases in subsequent years. Mayor Park Hyung-deok has outlined plans to address identified shortcomings through economic revitalization. Key strategies include attracting corporations, expanding the industrial base, and supporting youth employment. Additionally, the city aims to advance a defense innovation cluster, improve regional accessibility via the GTX-C line extension, and promote tourism through local natural resources. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: Dongducheon seeks economic growth following population decline designation Designated as a population decline area, Dongducheon aims to leverage increased government funding and tax benefits to improve jobs, transportation, and local economic growth. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dongducheon-seeks-economic-growth-following-population-decline-designation ### 2026-10-19: Dongducheon residents report 87.5% satisfaction with city administration A survey of 1,037 Dongducheon residents shows 87.5% satisfaction with city administration, though citizens called for improvements in jobs, transportation, and healthcare. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dongducheon-residents-report-875-satisfaction-with-city-administration --- Cite as: Dongducheon municipal administration and development.
