On the 7th at 2 PM, Busan City will sign a "Financial Specialized Deulraknalak Creation and Operation Business Agreement" for regional coexistence based on public-private cooperation with Dong-gu and Korea Securities Depository at the City Hall International Protocol Room.
At the signing ceremony, Mayor Park Hyung-jun, Dong-gu Mayor Kim Jin-hong, and Korea Securities Depository President Lee Soon-ho are scheduled to attend and sign the agreement in person.
The city, Dong-gu, and Korea Securities Depository have cooperated to discover various forms of resident support projects within the business site through joint field surveys and holding working-level councils.
This agreement mainly involves utilizing part of the public complex office space of Korea Securities Depository, which is planned to be built on the site of Jwaseong Elementary School, closed in March 2021 due to a decline in school-age population, to create and operate the "Financial Specialized Library Deulraknalak."
Through this agreement, ▲ the city and Dong-gu will create resident convenience facilities that activate the local community and realize the value of a 15-minute city while saving related budgets, and ▲ Korea Securities Depository plans to contribute to the local community by creating a financial specialized space suited to the characteristics of the institution.
In particular, by operating the financial specialized Deulraknalak space for children and local residents in the area, it is expected to greatly contribute to revitalizing the community in the old downtown and realizing the value of a 15-minute city.
The "Financial Specialized Deulraknalak," created by utilizing one floor of the Korea Securities Depository public complex office facility, consists of financial education spaces, a library, and reading rooms. Local residents can experience differentiated experiential financial education services here.
It provides educational opportunities specialized in financial extended reality (XR) experiences and extended virtual world (metaverse) finance.
Additionally, to make it comfortable for local residents to visit, a parking lot will be created and opened, and resident convenience facilities will be established by utilizing idle spaces next to the access road to enhance citizen convenience.
Korea Securities Depository, established in 1974, is a financial institution managing securities assets worth 6800 trillion won. Since relocating its headquarters to the Busan International Financial Center in 2014, it has been contributing to the development of the Busan region through various public contributions such as nurturing local talent.
Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, "We expect to partially compensate for the loss of educational infrastructure for residents in the accelerating old downtown area through the creation of the 'Financial Specialized Deulraknalak' utilizing the closed school site," adding, "We will make good use of this opportunity, like a refreshing rain, where children and parents in the old downtown of Busan can gather, communicate, and enjoy specialized financial education differentiated from other regions by leveraging the unique characteristics of financial public institutions relocated to Busan and the distinctiveness of the old downtown area."
