From next year, the property tax rate for one-family households with a public price of 600 million won or less will be reduced by 0.05%, and a Busan-specific public mobile market app platform will be launched. The child care support hours are expanded to 840 hours per year, and free meals are fully implemented for elementary, middle and high schools.

The city of Busan announced on the 30th that 70 systems and policies in six areas will change from 2021. It is organized by policies that are closely related to civic life.

■Civic life·administration, job·economy

The city of Busan cuts the property tax rate for housing for one household with a public price of 600 million won or less by 0.05% for each tax base section. This is a special case that is operated temporarily for three years, and is a policy to stabilize housing for the common people and relieve tax burden.

The sanctions will be strengthened by changing the standard for disclosure of the list of high-payers from 10 million won in arrears by local government to 10 million won in arrears nationwide. The target of student loan interest in Busan will be expanded to graduates and graduate students, and a deposit refund guarantee fee will be provided to young people living in Busan. Housing finance education is also promoted to protect the rights of young tenants.

A regional-specific public mobile market app platform called’Camellia Mall’ (tentative name) is scheduled to open in March next year. You can order, pay, and even deliver products for local small business owners and SMEs on one platform.

Busan SMEs that have maintained or increased their employment despite the Corona 19 situation will be provided with four major insurance premiums and business site contributions. It is intended for companies that have signed a’employment maintenance win-win agreement’ with Busan. In order to expand the opportunities for young adults to enter private taxis, the qualification criteria will be relaxed so that even if they do not have experience in driving a business vehicle, they can take over their private taxi licenses. In addition, 25 public institutions under the city of Busan conduct’integrated recruitment’ and take the written test at one o’clock.

■Childbirth, childcare, health and welfare

The city of Busan is expanding part-time child care support hours from 720 hours per year to 840 hours per year to alleviate the burden of parenting for double-income families. Free high school education, which was only applicable to high school 2 and 3, will be expanded to the whole high school, while free meals are provided to all elementary, middle and high schools.

In order to alleviate the burden of housing expenses for newlyweds, a loan of up to 150 million won is provided as jeonse funds and a project to reduce the self-paying rate of loan interest to the level of 0.3 to 0.8% is also implemented.

In addition, vaccinations for seniors 65 years of age or older, who are at high risk for pneumococcal, will be expanded from public health centers to private medical institutions. The subsidy for the integrated cultural use ticket (Culture Nuri Card) will be increased from 90,000 won to 100,000 won per person, and an automatic recharge service will be provided when users maintain eligibility. Those eligible for basic pension will be expanded from the lower 40% of their current income to 70%.

■Environment·sanitation, firefighting·safety

To improve the living environment of low-income families, we will supply low-nox boilers (eco-friendly boilers) and increase the cost of removing and improving slate roofs. Report on the performance of waste treatment for multi-family housing is mandatory, and a separate discharge system for transparent PET bottles is also implemented in detached houses. Support for hydrogen electric vehicles (KRW 34.5 million per unit), currently only 400 units, will be expanded to 1200 units.

In order to prevent forest fires, the cost of installing forest fire extinguishing devices in traditional temples will be supported, and driving requirements will be strengthened for the safety management of vehicles carrying dangerous goods.

Busan Mayor Byeon Seong-wan said, “I will do my best to promote the citizens so that they do not suffer from confusion over the new system.”
