As a part of the community restoration projects, area residents in (대정읍) Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo, are creating community tour programs based on the historical and cultural sites of local areas.
Todd Thacker reports.


This is (강병대) Gangbyeondae Church in (모슬포) Moseulpo, Daejeong-eup.
It was built by the Army’s engineering battalion during the Korean War.
Area residents meet here at this symbolic place for the community.


Many have joined the tour program organized by the Community Restoration Center. This is a part of the island’s community restoration efforts.

A gathering was organized to help area residents design tour programs to attract visitors.

The tour highlights historical aspects of the community.


Area residents are evaluating some 10 historical and cultural sites, including the church and the (대정) Daejeong History Museum, to see if they could be included in their tour programs.
It’s essential that the locals themselves volunteer to guide visitors.


This local-led community restoration project is proving to be an excellent opportunity to spread awareness of regional history and village life to all.
