Public hearings on Gwangju Airport Relocation on the
29th
There was a
public hearing held on Oct. 29th to collect citizens' opinions regarding the
Gwangju private airport's transfer. This is as there is a conflict between the
City and Jeonnam Province. Our JongMin Kim reports.
In line with the issue of relocating the Gwangju
military airport, a public hearing was held to gather opinions from Gwangju
citizens on the relocation of Gwangju's private airport, which has faced
opposition from the public.
Gwangju Civil Rights Commission says the session at
Gwangju city hall brought together citizens’ groups, experts, and researchers. They discussed economic
feasibility and management of the potential conflicts between the city and
province.
The Chief of the Public Opinion Committee, Choi Young
Tae, said the discussion session guarantees fairness, transparency, citizens’ participation, and Gwangju’s unique situation. Choi added that he expects the citizen panels
will make a reasonable decision after a deliberate and mature discussion.
Reportedly, the discussion session consisted of a key
note speech from each side, a main issue discussion, questions and answers,
survey result analysis, deliberation assessment, and more.
Meanwhile, a poll will be conducted on 2,500 citizens
from Oct 30th to Nov. 10th. The survey questions include the timing of the
relocation of military and civilian airports and the name of the integrated
airport.
Based on the results of the poll, the proposal of
recommendation will be reported to Gwangju Mayor Lee Yong Seob. Mayor Lee will
finally decide whether to accept it or not.
