Guro-gu Collects Resident Opinions for 'Community Innovation Plan' Development
Youth, Companion Animals, Community, and 2 More Issues Selected... Over 10 Discussions in Online Public Forum... July 6-10 Online and Offline Resident Voting... Selected Projects Reflected in Next Year's Business Plan
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) is collecting residents' opinions to establish a 'Community Innovation Plan.'
On the 26th, Guro-gu announced that it will conduct an online public forum and resident voting to establish a 'Community Innovation Plan,' where the public and private sectors work together to solve local issues.
First, based on various opinions gathered through the policy proposal platform 'Guro 1st Street' in the first half of this year, Guro-gu identified five agendas.
The agendas are ▲ Creating youth meeting spaces using idle spaces ▲ Providing pet care education and dedicated spaces ▲ Securing key spaces within living areas and fostering a local community ecosystem ▲ Revitalizing small libraries ▲ Making Dorimcheon a place to walk with nature.
Seventy-five pre-recruited citizen participants held discussions twice for each agenda, totaling 10 sessions, in the online public forum. On July 3rd, a large public forum will be held covering all agendas. The results discussed so far will be presented, and priorities will be set reflecting the importance of the projects.
From July 6th to 10th, online and offline resident voting will be conducted to survey preferences for each agenda. Anyone who is a resident of Guro-gu or a worker or student located in Guro-gu can participate. Voting can be done via the 'Seoul M-Voting' website or by visiting the polling station set up on the first floor of the Guro-gu Office.
Guro-gu will combine the results of the online public forum and resident voting to rank the agendas, review them through related departments, and select the final projects. The selected projects will be reflected in next year's Community Innovation Plan.
