Yeongdeungpo-gu, 2020 Resident and Public Official Proposal System Operation... Up to 2 Million Reward!

Ongoing Open Topic Proposals, First Designated Topic 'Measures to Revitalize Local Economy to Overcome COVID-19' Also Open for Submission... Up to 2 Million KRW Reward for Selected Proposals... Submissions Accepted via 국민신문고, Old Website, and More

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Chae Hyun-il) is operating the ‘2020 Resident and Public Official Proposal System,’ which collects residents’ creative ideas and reflects them in policies, enhancing the completeness of district administration through communication and cooperation.

The ‘Proposal System’ is an open forum where residents and public officials can directly present opinions for the development of district administration regardless of fields such as education, economy, safety, and welfare. By listening to diverse voices, it is expected to realize transparent district governance.

Proposals can be submitted year-round. Submitted opinions undergo review by the relevant departments and evaluation by the Proposal Deliberation Committee. If selected as a policy, the proposer receives a mayoral commendation along with a reward of up to 2 million KRW.

Notably, this year, a small prize is also awarded to the public official responsible for adopting the proposal as a policy. This encourages proactive administration by public officials and increases the likelihood that residents’ proposals will be reflected in policies.

The district continuously monitors adopted proposals to not only increase policy reliability but also enhance resident convenience. Even proposals not adopted are thoroughly reviewed for applicable parts to improve the quality of administrative services.

Additionally, the district solicits topics relevant to current issues to raise residents’ interest in district administration. The first topic for the 2020 Proposal System is ‘Measures to Revitalize the Local Economy Stagnated by COVID-19,’ inviting innovative ideas to activate local commercial districts from February 20 to March 4.

Going forward, the district plans to continuously present topics aligned with the five major goals of the 7th local government term, including education and culture, economic city, living and environment, welfare and health, and communication administration.

Residents wishing to submit proposals can use the National Sinmungo (www.epeople.go.kr) or the Resident Proposal board on the district website (www.ydp.go.kr), and proposals can also be submitted via email (cholki2@ydp.go.kr).

Last year, through the Resident Proposal System, the district collected 198 resident proposals and 39 public official proposals, of which 10 (4.2%) were adopted and reflected in policies.
