Park Seong-su, Songpa District Mayor, Reactivates Communication Administration in the 3rd Year of the 7th Local Government... Into the Field with Residents!

Operation of On-site Visit Week from 2nd to 10th: School, Job, and Welfare Site Visits, Communication with Residents

Future Education Video Call

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa District, is continuing to communicate with residents while monitoring the changes in daily life caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) on the occasion of the 2nd anniversary of the 7th local government administration.

The district will operate a 'Field Visit Week' from July 2 to 10. Considering the reduced communication with residents over the past six months due to COVID-19, the mayor and related staff will directly visit key project sites in various sectors to meet with residents. However, to prevent infectious diseases, all events will be conducted on a small scale or through non-face-to-face methods.

The field visits will focus on ▲jobs and education ▲welfare ▲transportation and environment sectors.

On the first day, July 2, the mayor visited the education field, which has undergone the most significant changes due to COVID-19. At 11 a.m., he met with teachers and students at the Songpa Future Education Center Building 1, which supports the production of online class videos. Nine participants, including teachers and students from Boseong High School and Aju Middle School, joined remotely using webcams.

They shared opinions on the education support system 'Songpa SSEM' being established by Songpa District and the policy direction for future education.

On July 6, the mayor will meet with representatives of local youth enterprises. Ten young entrepreneurs selected for the 'Songpa Youth Startup Challenge Project' will participate. They plan to explore directions for creating youth jobs and supporting businesses in preparation for the post-COVID era. The district chose 'Hosoo,' the cultural experimental space at Seokchon Lake established in May, as the communication venue, expecting a comfortable atmosphere for honest discussions with the youth.

On July 8, the focus will be on welfare. The mayor will inspect the Garak Children’s Daycare Center, which recently transitioned from private to district-operated, then visit Munjeong 1-dong Community Child Center and the Lifelong Education Center for People with Developmental Disabilities to review the public welfare environment.

On the last day, July 10, the mayor will visit the transportation and environment sectors to ensure residents' 'safety.' On this day, the mayor will personally perform field duties with staff and meet closely with local residents. At the Jangji-dong alley cleaning site, he will drive the alley street cleaning vehicle, and during lunchtime, he will visit Janggun Street in Garak-dong to participate in promoting flexible parking enforcement aimed at revitalizing the local commercial district.

The district plans to have related department officials accompany all field visits to collect residents' opinions and actively reflect them in district administration.

Visit to Jamsil General Social Welfare Center

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa District, said, “I deeply regretted not being able to meet residents directly on-site due to COVID-19,” adding, “During the remaining term, I will respond flexibly to changing circumstances, communicate with residents in various ways, and work harder to ensure that the promised projects proceed without delay.”
