인천시의회 윤재상 의원(강화군, 국민의힘)이 15일 제305회 제2차 정례회 제3차 본회의에서 강화군 항공기 소음 피해 대책을 촉구했다.
윤 의원은 5분 자유발언을 통해 "항공기가 10월 30일부터 3분 간격으로 운항되면서 불은면, 길상면, 화도면 등 강화군 지역 주민들이 소음 피해를 입고 있다"고 밝혔다.
윤 의원은 "야간 운항으로 인한 수면 부족과 만성 피로, 스트레스성 질환이 발생하고 있다"며 "항공기 소음으로 가축의 유산과 축산 생산성 저하 등 재산 피해도 이어지고 있다"고 지적했다.
윤 의원은 항공소음 업무가 국토교통부 소관이더라도 피해 주민이 인천시민인 만큼 "인천시가 관계기관과 협의해 실질적 대책을 마련해야 한다"고 강조했다.
윤 의원은 강화군 고등학교 기숙사 지원 불균형도 제기했다. 윤 의원은 "강화군은 지리적 특성상 원거리 통학이 불가피해 기숙사는 필수 교육 인프라"라며 "강화고와 강화여고는 기숙사 지원을 받는 반면 덕신고만 제외되어 학부모 부담이 가중되고 있다"고 말했다.
윤 의원은 인천시교육청을 향해 "같은 강화군 학생들이 학교에 따라 차별받지 않도록 자체 조례 제정 등을 통해 공정한 기숙사 지원 대책을 마련해야 한다"고 촉구했다.

Councilman Yoon Jae-sang Demands Aircraft Noise Damage Measures in Ganghwa-gun...Calls for Fair Dormitory Support for Deoksin High School
Aircraft operating at 3-minute intervals since October 30...Resident sleep deprivation and livestock damage occurring
Deoksin High School excluded from dormitory support unlike Ganghwa High School and Ganghwa Girls' High School
Calls on Incheon City and Education Office to establish substantive measures
Councilman Yoon Jae-sang of Incheon Metropolitan Assembly (Ganghwa-gun, People Power Party) raised issues regarding aircraft noise in Ganghwa-gun and fairness in high school dormitory support on the 15th at the 3rd plenary session of the 2nd regular session of the 305th Assembly.
Councilman Yoon stated in a five-minute free speech that "aircraft have been operating at 3-minute intervals since October 30, causing noise damage to residents in Buleum-myeon, Gilsang-myeon, Hwado-myeon and other areas of Ganghwa-gun."
Councilman Yoon pointed out that "sleep deprivation from nighttime operations, chronic fatigue, and stress-related diseases are occurring" and noted that "aircraft noise has led to livestock miscarriage and reduced agricultural productivity, causing property damage."
Despite the fact that aircraft noise operations fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Councilman Yoon emphasized that "Incheon City must consult with relevant agencies and establish substantive measures because the affected residents are citizens of Incheon City."
Councilman Yoon also raised the issue of unequal high school dormitory support in Ganghwa-gun. He stated that "due to geographical characteristics, long-distance commuting is inevitable in Ganghwa-gun, making dormitories essential educational infrastructure" and pointed out that "while Ganghwa High School and Ganghwa Girls' High School receive dormitory support, Deoksin High School is excluded, increasing the burden on parents."
Councilman Yoon urged the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education to "ensure that students in the same Ganghwa-gun are not discriminated against by school, and establish fair dormitory support measures through enactment of local ordinances."
