Collecting Collaborative Governance Topics for Resident Communication in the COVID-19 Coexistence Era until the 26th... December 7, 2020 Online Live Broadcast Collaborative Governance Forum to Enhance Understanding and Participation

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) has started gathering residents' ideas to communicate through cooperative governance with residents living in the COVID-19 era.

The district announced on the 16th that it is accepting cooperative governance agenda proposals until the 26th of this month to discover topics for cooperative governance projects in 2022.

Any resident of Dongdaemun-gu or anyone working at a workplace located in Dongdaemun-gu can propose an agenda.

The proposals should be public interest projects that require a public discussion process between officials and residents, projects that need a cooperative public discussion process without unilateral leadership from either the private (min) or public (gwan) sectors, or other innovative plans that can contribute to the development of Dongdaemun-gu. However, simple civil complaints, simple facility installation projects, petitions, and suggestions are excluded from the agenda.

To submit a proposal, applicants must provide the proposal title, purpose and background, expected project duration and budget, and project effects.

Proposals submitted by residents will be discussed at the 2020 online live cooperative governance public forum held on the 7th of next month and at the cooperative governance public forum conducted in 2021, aiming to enhance understanding of cooperative governance and provide opportunities to participate in cooperative governance activities.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “We have started collecting cooperative governance agendas to create a communication platform that raises understanding and empathy for cooperative governance,” and added, “We hope residents freely propose creative agendas they have been interested in and passionate about for the development of Dongdaemun-gu.”
