The newly established administrative units include ▲1 bureau (Sustainable Development Bureau) ▲1 section (Lifelong Learning and Sports Section) ▲3 teams (Welfare Policy and Care Support Team, Architecture and Safety Planning Team, Safety Inspection Team).

In particular, Dobong-gu, which was selected as the United Nations (UN) University’s ‘Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE)’ for Sustainable Development Education on January 13, the first among Seoul’s autonomous districts, established the ‘Sustainable Development Bureau’ consisting of five departments including the Sustainable Development Section to realize the district’s policy direction of ‘sustainable development.’

Furthermore, as the importance of residents’ self-realization and lifelong learning has been highlighted, a dedicated Lifelong Learning and Sports Section was established, along with a Care Support Team that provides urgent household and nursing care support as well as everyday assistance such as hospital visit accompaniment for residents in care blind spots.

Additionally, the Architecture and Safety Planning Team and Safety Inspection Team were newly established to focus more on preventing various disaster accidents in advance and ensuring the safety of district residents through the management of aging buildings and construction sites.

Alongside this, to create future jobs based on the new economic hub and to enhance local economic revitalization, the existing New Economic Projects Section and Job Economy Section were integrated into the New Economic Jobs Section.

Moreover, the New Economic Urban Regeneration Promotion Team was abolished, and eight teams were boldly consolidated into four teams to improve organizational and personnel efficiency.

Through this administrative reorganization, the district plans to accelerate improvements in residents’ quality of life, discover future growth engines, and promote sustainable transformation of Dobong.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “In the remaining second half of the 7th local government term, we will actively respond to the increasingly complex and diverse administrative demands through new changes and challenges to meet the expectations of our residents.”
