Yongin Special City administrative and infrastructure works

Overview

Yongin Special City is implementing various administrative and infrastructural improvements to manage its growing population and enhance public safety.

To address the needs of overpopulated areas, the city proposed splitting Seongbok-dong and Dongcheon-dong into separate administrative units. This reorganization follows the classification of both districts as ‘overpopulated administrative districts’ after exceeding 50,000 residents. The city initiated a resident survey to address rising demands in welfare, civil complaints, and disaster response capabilities.

In parallel, the city has completed a 0.7km section of a new forest road in the Hag-ri area of Wonsam-myeon. This infrastructure project aims to improve response capabilities for forest disasters, such as wildfires and landslides, while also enhancing forest management and providing citizens with better access to recreational natural spaces.
