The construction project of Jeju 2nd Airport, which has caused conflict between the pros and cons of Jeju society, is at a crossroads. Ahead of the poll for and against the construction of the second airport announced on the 18th, Jeju Island said that it was’for policy reference’ and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said that it would be’reflected in policy decisions’, but the result of the survey showed’opposite’ predominantly. The cause of the construction of the second airport, called’Dominion’s Longing Project’, is expected to fade to a large extent. If the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Jeju Island enforce the construction of the second airport, opposition from residents and groups are expected to intensify. The fact that’opposite’ was more predominant than’approve’ in the Jeju citizens’ opinion survey is interpreted as showing that the Jeju citizens’ perception of development has changed. On the morning of the morning of the 19th, an emergency residents’ meeting on Jeju Island 2nd Airport held a press conference in front of the Jeju Provincial Office and said, “It was confirmed that the lives of the residents of Jeju and the business separated from the residents cannot be chosen by the residents. The citizens’ wisdom and experience did not tolerate the second airport, which triggered difficult development.” Park Chan-sik, head of the co-executive agency of the group, said, “It is not simply a matter of building one more airport. The fact that the consensus, which reached 70% in the first place, is on the contrary means that the citizens of the city should not go into difficult development anymore. The Dodo and Provincial Council must make a path that suits the will of the citizens.” The Emergency Residents’ Assembly said, “The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport should stop the construction process of the second airport and immediately begin to improve the overall facilities of the current Jeju Airport, such as building a new terminal to alleviate the inconvenience of using Jeju Airport, improving public transportation at the airport, and upgrading the control operation system.” Insisted. Based on the results of the survey, Jeju Island and the Jeju Provincial Council also presented their positions. Chairman Nam-soo Jwa issued a statement on this day and said, “I humbly respect the opinions given by Jeju residents. The province must faithfully communicate the results of the survey to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport also requests responsible policy decisions by respecting the will of the residents.”

Jeju Island has repeatedly said that it is’policy reference only’ for public opinion polls, but internally it is embarrassing. Governor Won Hee-ryong said,’Jeju residents’ longing for the construction of the second airport and essential project for the future of Jeju’ (2019.2.20). He has expressed strong intentions, saying,’A breakthrough opportunity to resolve the economic crisis in Jeju and a driving force to change the economic map’ (2019.11.15) and’Obligation and responsibility of the governor’ (1.1). On this day, Do said, “I will deliver it quickly as it is to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. We look forward to a wise decision from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Now, the end of the conflict over the 2nd airport, I hope you will join us in bringing the power of the citizens together.” In some cases,’approval’ was high in the eastern part of Jeju, mainly in the Seongsan-eup area, which is the second airport, and the’opposite’ in the western area was high. I thought he was more interested in Ron. An official from a civic group analyzed that “in the east area, which is the center of Jeju City (not eup/myeon), the fatigue caused by development, such as various side effects such as traffic problems, water and sewage systems, and waste disposal problems caused by excessive tourists, seems to be reflected in the public opinion survey.” The controversy over the second airport is expected to face a hurdle according to the policy judgment of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. According to the results of this survey, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is expected to make a position sooner or later. Meanwhile, President Moon Jae-in said in a dialogue with the public in November 2019, “We have a policy to actively support the citizens of whatever choice they make.” By Hur Ho-joon, staff reporter [email protected]
