Seoul Gangseo-gu, Residents Directly Supervise Construction Over 30 Million Won

Minimizing Resident Inconvenience Through Local Opinion Collection... Implementation of 'Resident Participation Supervision System'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) is implementing a 'Resident Participation Supervision System' where residents directly participate in and oversee various projects.

This project involves residents working alongside public officials to directly supervise construction related to their daily lives.

The target projects include ▲village access road expansion and paving ▲drainage installation ▲temporary water and sewage installation ▲security lighting installation ▲sidewalk block installation, and other projects with construction costs exceeding 30 million KRW.

The district reviews the qualifications of local area community leaders or residents recommended by them who are related to the construction, then assigns supervision duties along with safety training.

Additionally, resident supervisors listen to residents' opinions and difficulties from the start to the completion of construction, monitor for illegal or improper activities, and serve as a bridge by conveying residents' suggestions to the project departments.

A district official stated, “We will actively reflect residents' opinions to vitalize the Resident Participation Supervision System, enhancing resident convenience, administrative transparency, and trust. We will do our best to ensure transparent and sound construction projects that incorporate residents' voices.”

As a result of strengthening publicity by disclosing Resident Participation Supervision target projects in advance and providing system guidance, 21 resident supervisors were appointed last year.
