Gwanak-gu Selected as Best Institution in Comprehensive Civil Service Evaluation

"Recognized for On-Site Communication Administration Including 'Date with the District Mayor' and Operation of 'Mobile Gwanak Office (聽)'... Highly Rated in Improving Civil Service Systems with Policies Supporting Socially Vulnerable Groups"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) has been selected as the best institution in the '2019 Comprehensive Civil Service Evaluation' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

This evaluation was conducted through written surveys of institutions and public opinion surveys, dividing the civil service tasks handled over the past year by 304 institutions nationwide (central government, metropolitan and provincial offices of education, metropolitan cities and provinces, local government institutions) into 5 fields across 3 categories. Gwanak-gu received the highest 'Grade A' by achieving overall high scores in all fields.

Gwanak-gu received high marks for its impressive administration that listens to residents' voices and finds answers on-site, including ▲ operating 'Gwanakcheong (聽)', where the mayor directly meets and communicates with residents ▲ operating 'Mobile Gwanakcheong (聽)' that visits residents who cannot come to the district office ▲ establishing 'Online Gwanakcheong (聽)' where residents can propose district policies without spatial or temporal constraints.

In particular, Gwanak-gu was recognized for excellence with the innovative idea of creating a cafe-style open mayor's office on the first floor of the district office building, where every Tuesday and Thursday the mayor meets residents directly through the 'Date with the Mayor' program, an effective communication channel that listens to residents' opinions and improves the quality of civil services.

Additionally, the district received high praise for policies considerate of socially vulnerable groups, such as operating the 'Happy Mama Restaurant,' the nation's largest and first program where village mothers prepare warm dinners and play with children on behalf of busy parents.

As a result of this evaluation, the district will receive government awards and financial incentives such as special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “It is an honor that our efforts to provide the best civil service administration focusing on communication with residents have led to excellent results. We will continue to make multifaceted efforts to improve service quality and provide the best civil services that meet residents' needs and expectations.”
