Gyeonggi Province will begin providing 'Inter-floor Noise Management Committee Formation and Operation Training' in phases by city and county for stakeholders in multi-unit housing complexes across the province, starting at the end of August. This initiative aims to prevent inter-floor noise issues within multi-unit residences and strengthen residents' ability to resolve disputes autonomously.
This training is a follow-up measure to the 'Stabilization Plan for the Inter-floor Noise Management Committee System in Multi-unit Housing,' which was announced in June.
In May of this year, Gyeonggi Province expanded the scope of its 'Gyeonggi Province Multi-unit Housing Management Support Advisory Group' from the existing five areas to include two additional fields: inter-floor noise and community revitalization.
According to the partially revised Multi-unit Housing Management Act, which took effect on October 25 of last year, multi-unit housing complexes with 700 or more households are required to establish an Inter-floor Noise Management Committee. However, as of the end of April this year, only 1,109 out of 1,507 complexes (73.6%) in the province with 700 or more households had formed such committees.
In response, Gyeonggi Province will provide practical training for eligible participants, including building representatives, election committee members, and management office directors. The training will cover topics such as methods for forming and operating the Inter-floor Noise Management Committee, dispute resolution procedures, sharing of best practices, and strategies for community revitalization.
Based on a survey of city and county demand conducted in July, Gyeonggi Province has finalized the training schedule and will begin offering the training at the end of this month, starting with areas that have lower committee formation rates.
Hong Ilyoung, Director of Multi-unit Housing at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Inter-floor noise in multi-unit housing is a conflict directly linked to daily life, making proactive measures and the establishment of autonomous resolution systems more important than ever. We hope that this training will help the Inter-floor Noise Management Committee system take root in the field and serve as an opportunity to restore a sense of community."
