Daegu Citizens' Greatest Pride is 'Advanced Civic Consciousness'... Online Survey Event

'Keywords' from Daegu Citizen's Voice

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] It has been revealed that the number of Daegu citizens who recently felt pride in their 'advanced civic consciousness' has significantly increased.

From August 5 to 11, over a period of seven days, an event was held on the online citizen participation communication platform 'Talk Daegu' asking about moments when citizens recently felt pride as Daegu residents or the advantages of Daegu. The Daegu city government explained that this was the result of the survey.

Analyzing the responses from 317 citizens, it was found that many citizens take the greatest pride in the 'advanced civic consciousness' demonstrated by the public and private sectors working together with communication and consideration to successfully overcome the crisis of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). In addition, citizens cited Daegu’s abundant urban trees, convenient transportation, and a safe and livable residential environment with less damage from natural disasters compared to other regions as points of pride.

Citizens also expressed pride in the diverse cultural and artistic infrastructure, including performing arts such as musicals and operas, high-quality exhibitions at the Daegu Art Museum and the Culture and Arts Center, and colorful festivals unique to Daegu. They also noted the abundance of popular restaurants and charming cafes, as well as Daegu’s reputation as a holy ground for famous brands like chicken and coffee.

Song Ki-chan, head of the Communication and Civil Complaints Division of Daegu City, said, "Through this survey, we hope that things that may have been taken for granted so far will be newly recognized by citizens as Daegu’s pride and strengths. We will continue to do our best to create a Talk Daegu with active citizen participation and to help citizens have pride and self-esteem in Daegu."

Detailed results of the survey analysis can be found on the Talk Daegu 'Asking Citizens' internet bulletin board.
