Mapo-gu (District Mayor Park Gang-su) has prepared the 2025 budget proposal with a general account of 805.1 billion KRW, a special account of 32.1 billion KRW, totaling 837.2 billion KRW, and submitted it to the Mapo-gu Council.
The budget proposal for next year was prepared with the top priorities of promptly advancing the pledges and key projects of the second half of the 8th term of the elected government, creating a clean environment, strengthening resident safety, and implementing grassroots welfare that permeates everyone's lives.
In particular, a new budget of 798.4 million KRW was allocated for specialized projects that secure the autonomy of the Dong Community Service Centers to strengthen on-site administration.
The budget for the Dong specialized projects consists of one specialized project per dong, emergency disaster safety funds, very small concerts, flea market operations, and flower road creation projects.
Mapo-gu listened to and reviewed the opinions of all 16 Dong Community Service Centers to reflect the budget for one specialized project per dong in order to realize practical resident autonomy.
The emergency disaster safety funds also attract attention. In cases where urgent safety measures are needed, such as minor sidewalk block damage or road potholes, the Dong Community Service Centers will immediately carry out repairs to enhance resident safety.
The very small concerts, flea market operations, and flower road creation projects also focus on expanding resident participation and strengthening communication.
In addition, the Mapo-gu budget proposal includes a total of 32.93338 billion KRW allocated for disaster safety.
Major projects include 405.87 million KRW for the creation and operation of women-friendly facilities, 1.012 billion KRW for the operation of babysitter houses, 660.51 million KRW for the operation of small libraries, 882.02 million KRW for the operation of the Mapo circular train bus, 634.09 million KRW for animal protection management, 16.36227 billion KRW for resource recycling projects, 441.08 million KRW for the installation and operation of zero-incineration stores, and 1.9 billion KRW for the Seongsancheon stream maintenance project.
Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “We have devoted great effort to preparing the budget proposal to create an open Mapo-gu that comes closer to residents.” He added, “In 2025, Mapo-gu will do its best to ensure that residents can enjoy a safe and happy daily life.”
The 2025 Mapo-gu revenue and expenditure budget proposal will be finalized after review and approval by the Mapo-gu Council.
