[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Jo Geun-je, the mayor of Haman County, Gyeongnam, emphasized the realization of the Mareusan Tumuli Cluster's inscription as a World Heritage site during the regular November briefing held on the 2nd. He also called for measures to create local jobs and increase income through attracting businesses.

Mayor Jo mentioned that the Gaya Tumuli Cluster was selected as a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage inscription at the Cultural Heritage Committee meeting held by the Cultural Heritage Administration in September, and instructed to focus administrative efforts on the upcoming procedures.

On this day, Mayor Jo stated, “Since the Mareusan Tumuli Cluster was registered on the tentative list of World Heritage sites in 2013, we have achieved the result of being selected as a candidate after long efforts,” and emphasized, “We will do our best in the remaining procedures such as expert on-site inspections and panel meetings to ensure the final success.”

He also reiterated, “The on-site inspection scheduled for September next year is an important procedure that will determine whether the Gaya Tumuli Cluster will be inscribed as a World Heritage site.”

Mayor Jo also instructed to focus administrative efforts on attracting businesses to revitalize the local economy. Haman County has been making every effort to attract businesses, including sending letters from the mayor individually.

Previously, although new investments by companies have decreased due to the economic downturn, Haman County is proactively attracting corporate investments by discovering potential investors through preemptive marketing. Each department is making multifaceted efforts such as online business attraction briefings, producing investment attraction videos, and promoting through media and SNS.

Mayor Jo also requested to find ways to actively utilize big data in line with the government's New Deal policy. Haman County announced a digital transformation plan to invest 58 trillion won and create 900,000 jobs by 2025. In this regard, Mayor Jo ordered systematic data accumulation and the active use of it in major county government projects and services for residents' convenience.

Mayor Jo said, “We are achieving good results in local government innovation evaluations,” and requested, “Please carry out administration with an innovative mindset.”
