At the 5th forum held on the 26th, Center Director Ha Hyun-sang presented issues and explored alternatives under the theme "Issues and Alternatives for Sustainable Community Coexistence," focusing on solving local community problems and promoting coexistence. In response, four experts?Dr. Jeon Dae-wook, Research Fellow at the Local Administration Research Institute; Dr. Kim Hoe-sung, Research Fellow at the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs; Professor Cho Hyun-jin of the Department of Business Administration at Seoyoung University Paju Campus; and Professor Kim Yeon-hee of the Graduate School of Public Administration at Kookmin University?each presented improvement measures for the issues and engaged in discussions with attendees.

Ha Hyun-sang, Director of the Community Coexistence Center and Dean of the Graduate School of Public Administration at Kookmin University, stated, “This forum was a very meaningful occasion to reflect on and improve the directions of education, research, and projects that universities should pursue for community coexistence. To enhance the happiness and safety of the people and to address national challenges such as local extinction and the super-aged society, it is important for residents and the government to change and revitalize together through a participatory communal lifestyle.”
