Geumcheon-gu, Online Resident Voting to Prioritize Collaborative Governance Projects

Voting available on Seoul EmVoting site from 17th to 23rd... Priority of 8 cooperative projects selected through Geumcheon-gu Cooperation Council decided

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseong Hoon) will conduct the "Napulnapul Online Resident Voting" to select the 2021 Geumcheon-gu cooperative governance projects for seven days from the 17th to the 23rd.

Since 2017, the district has held the "Napulnapul 100+ Cooperative Governance Forum," where more than 100 local residents gather to discuss proposed projects and set priorities.

However, this year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the cooperative governance forum will be conducted through online voting, a non-face-to-face method, to select the priorities for the 2021 cooperative governance projects.

Previously, the Geumcheon-gu cooperative governance council, composed of five subcommittees?▲Education & Culture ▲Urban Environment & Safety ▲Welfare & Health ▲Resident Autonomy & Planning ▲Youth & Economic Jobs?held a total of 15 meetings in the first half of this year to discuss detailed projects by subcommittee.

As a result, eight cooperative governance projects were discovered by subcommittee, including ▲Research service for establishing a Geumcheon-style village care model ▲Lighting dark paths in traditional markets ▲Preventing safety accidents of people with developmental disabilities using smart technology ▲Stories of our neighborhood created by residents ▲Making a lively Doksan-ro with youth participation.

The discovered projects, along with ten proposed projects from the citizen participation budget district-level plan, will have their priorities decided through online voting and will be established as the 2021 Geumcheon-gu community innovation plan (district-level plan).

Additionally, the district plans to continuously provide opportunities for resident communication to share opinions on the implementation process and results of the established plan.

Voting can be participated in online via the Seoul M-Voting website or mobile app.

Geumcheon-gu Mayor Yuseong Hoon said, "I believe true local democracy is realized when residents take the lead in deciding projects needed in the village and the administration fully supports them," and added, "We hope many residents will show interest and participate in this deliberative democracy forum where the public and government cooperate and communicate together."
