Establishment of Gyeongsang National University Animal Hospital Busan Branch, Donation by Dongmyeong University Veterinary Department
Announcement of Urban Management Plan for Public Review - Area of 490-36, Yongdang-dong, Nam-gu
The urban management plan for the establishment of the Gyeongsang National University Animal Hospital Busan branch in Yongdang-dong, Nam-gu, Busan, has been announced for public review.
This plan is a response to the increasing number of single-person households due to low birth rates and an aging population, as well as the expanding demand for pet industry services, focusing on strengthening the pet medical infrastructure in the Busan region.
Such efforts are expected to contribute to the enhancement of pet-related services in Busan.
The Busan Metropolitan City will publicly display the urban management plan from February 19 to March 5, 2025, and collect opinions from residents. After this process, they plan to officially promote the project.
According to this plan, a 13,300㎡ Gyeongsang National University Animal Hospital will be newly established in the area of 490-36, Yongdang-dong, Nam-gu, and part of the Dongmyeong University site (13,300㎡) will be modified to accommodate the facility. These changes are expected to have a positive impact on the community.
The new Gyeongsang National University Animal Hospital Busan branch will be constructed with four floors at 490-21, Yongdang-dong. This project is being carried out with the support of Busan Metropolitan City and the Ministry of Education, and active efforts are being made to secure national funding.
Furthermore, it is being promoted as part of a mega-super-region cooperation project aiming for the modernization of pet healthcare, through cooperation among Busan City, Gyeongsang National University, and Dongmyeong University. These projects are expected to make a significant contribution to the local community.
Dongmyeong University has recently planned to establish a veterinary department linked to the pet industry through changes to its urban planning facilities. To this end, they have signed an MOU with Busan City to clarify the project.
The existing site of Dongmyeong University, totaling 320,106㎡, will be adjusted through a donation to 306,806㎡. Once this urban management plan is finalized, the first specialized medical infrastructure for pets will be established in Busan.
Such changes are expected to greatly contribute to the revitalization of the pet-related industry and the training of specialized personnel. Dongmyeong University’s efforts will mark a significant milestone in the development of the pet industry.
