[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il·photo) has established a public-private integrity system to realize transparent administration and operates the ‘Dorim-dong Integrity Seodang’ to activate a voluntary corruption prevention monitoring network.

The ‘Dorim-dong Integrity Seodang’ is structured in three stages: △Stage 1: Writing Integrity Diaries (staff) △Stage 2: Operating the Integrity Storehouse (residents) △Stage 3: Corruption Eraser Project (staff and residents), thereby building a dense public-private network.

First, employees at the Dorim-dong Community Service Center write ‘Integrity Diaries’ to reflect on themselves. With Integrity Day held once a month, the district head shares vivid integrity stories with staff, and various measures to enhance integrity are prepared through online and offline integrity education, self-diagnosis of integrity levels, and self-attendance checks.

Next, in the resident-led ‘Integrity Storehouse,’ residents take the initiative to provide opportunities for neighbors to recognize the importance of integrity. To this end, residents voluntarily launched the ‘Dorim-dong Talent Sharing Group’ and plan to prepare various contents such as integrity forums, education on historical figures known for integrity, and making integrity scrolls.

In the final stage, the ‘Corruption Eraser Project,’ residents and community center staff jointly engage in experiential activities such as making corruption erasers and integrity bracelets.

Additionally, the district educates resident groups conducting village projects on proper subsidy execution methods and prints integrity messages on administrative document envelopes to embed a culture of corruption prevention into daily life.

The Dorim-dong Community Service Center operates the ‘Integrity Storehouse’ to build a denser resident network, listen to residents’ voices, and contribute to local development.

In January, the district achieved the remarkable feat of being the only basic local government nationwide to receive a Grade 1 rating for two consecutive years in the ‘2019 Public Institution Corruption Prevention Policy Evaluation’ conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “We have established a public-private integrity monitoring network to better listen to residents’ ideas. Through operating the community center’s ‘Integrity Seodang,’ we will spread a culture of integrity within the organization and implement a more trusted administration.”
