[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) won the Grand Prize in the Safety Autonomy category and the Excellence Award in the Newsletter & Broadcasting category at the ‘2020 National Basic Local Government Heads Manifesto Best Practice Competition’ held on the 10th.

Hosted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, this competition was organized to discover and spread excellent cases of pledge fulfillment during the 7th local government term nationwide, seeking new innovations in local autonomy.

This year’s competition, themed ‘Innovative Dialogue for Future Society,’ received a total of 353 cases from 144 basic local governments nationwide, with 172 cases selected in the first round.

The second round finals were conducted through online evaluation of video presentations by each local government to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The district participated in the competition with the theme ‘Safe and Reliable Youth Gwangjin’ in the Safety Autonomy category, which included COVID-19 prevention and meticulous countermeasures, and ‘New On-Tact Gwangjin for District Promotion’ in the Newsletter & Broadcasting category, aligned with the untact era.

The ‘Safe and Reliable Youth Gwangjin’ case, which won the Grand Prize in the Safety Autonomy category, introduced in news format measures responding to COVID-19 such as ▲establishing a proactive religious facility quarantine system ▲installing the first temporary screening clinic on a university campus in Seoul ▲forming a special task force for entertainment facilities ▲and policies to revitalize the stagnant local economy, receiving high praise from the judges.

In the Newsletter & Broadcasting category, the ‘New On-Tact Gwangjin for District Promotion’ case introduced ▲the creation of new characters Gwang-i and Jin-i for online use ▲production of the district promotion webtoon ‘Gwangjin Hope Toon’ ▲the newsletter ‘Achasan Echo’ optimized for the digital environment ▲and real-time COVID-19 updates via SNS and the Gwangjin-gu Internet Broadcasting Station, earning the Excellence Award again this year following last year’s honor.

Mayor Kim Seon-gap said, “Despite the difficult environment due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we achieved good results by proactively implementing policies responding to changes. As we reach the turning point of the 7th local government term, we will do our best to review pledge fulfillment and successfully complete our promises to the residents.”
