Busan City Selected as a 'Leading Local Government for Proactive Administration'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Yoseop] Busan City announced on the 2nd that it has been selected as a ‘Leading Local Government for Proactive Administration’ by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in recognition of the head of the institution’s commitment to promoting proactive administration and the achievements in building its foundation.

The city was the first metropolitan local government to enact an ordinance for the operation of proactive administration and has made efforts to establish and spread a culture of proactive administration within the public service by holding events such as the ‘Frank Talk Concert on Proactive Administration with the Mayor’ to build consensus among employees regarding proactive administration.

Last November, Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don strongly expressed his will to spread the culture of proactive administration within the organization by ordering the first special promotion for a proactive administration citizen hero firefighter who initially extinguished a truck fire after work without wearing fireproof clothing.

Institutions selected as leading local governments for proactive administration will receive expert consulting support in various fields in the future and will promote the discovery of proactive administration tasks and diversification of publicity channels through cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. They will also serve as mentors to disseminate the experiences and achievements of proactive administration promotion to other local governments, as well as act as a focal point for spreading the culture of proactive administration.

Mayor Oh said, “This year as well, as a leading local government that leads the establishment and spread of a culture of proactive administration, we will promote new and diverse policies that citizens can feel.”

A total of 17 local governments were selected as ‘Leading Local Governments for Proactive Administration,’ including four metropolitan and 13 basic local governments, including Busan City.
