Gwangju Seo-gu Holds Final Report Meeting for 'Resident Happiness Survey' Research Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) announced on the 12th that it held the "Final Report Meeting on Resident Happiness Survey and Policy Linkage Plan Research Service" at the district office's large conference room on the 11th.

This report meeting was prepared to share the results of the "Resident Happiness Survey" conducted from June to September with 2,000 residents (sampled by region, gender, and age) and the policies proposed through the analysis of the results.

Unlike previous surveys focused on material indicators such as income, assets, and infrastructure, this happiness survey developed a Seo-gu type happiness index consisting of 105 items across three fields: individual, social, and environmental, and conducted a questionnaire survey.

The happiness index was composed of 92 nationwide universal indicators combining residents' subjective satisfaction, statistical data, and administrative DBs, as well as 13 characteristic indicators tailored to Seo-gu's features, such as regional pride and youth policies.

The resident happiness survey results showed that four areas, including youth and environment, had relatively low happiness levels, and 22 happiness projects to improve these were proposed by the research service company.

Seo Daeseok, Mayor of Seo-gu, said, "We will strive to incorporate the value of 'resident happiness' into district administration through this report meeting," adding, "Starting with a happiness workshop, we will create a public forum for residents on happiness and discover and promote practical happiness policies."
