[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Seo Chun-soo, the 7th elected governor of Hamyang County in Gyeongnam, is smoothly implementing the promised pledge projects with a completion rate of 54.9%.

The county announced on the 17th that it held the "4th Mid-term Inspection Report Meeting on the Progress of the 7th Elected Governor's Pledge Projects" at the county office's large conference room, attended by Governor Seo and about 50 department heads.

The pledges promised by Governor Seo include a total of 61 projects: ▲ 11 projects for field administration for residents ▲ 12 projects for growth agriculture ▲ 16 projects for customized welfare ▲ 8 projects for balanced development ▲ 14 projects for income tourism.

Among them, from July 2018, when the 7th elected term began, until the end of October this year, over 27 months, 33.5 out of the total 61 pledge projects have been completed, showing a completion rate of 54.9%, while 7 projects have shown progress of less than 10%.

As of the end of October, the completed pledge projects include ▲ real-name system for service contracts ▲ establishment of a job creation task force directly under the governor ▲ launch of the Integrity Planning Team ▲ support for language training for elementary, middle, and high school students ▲ support for learning materials for children at the township level ▲ upper limit system for private contracts ▲ installation of air purifiers in childcare facilities ▲ radon inspection implementation in childcare facilities, totaling 33 projects.

The 7 projects with less than 10% progress have faced difficulties due to reasons such as approval from higher authorities, cooperation with external organizations, securing private investors, securing national and local government funds, site selection, and negotiations for compensation of project sites.

To resolve these issues, the plan is to focus on strengthening cooperation and collaboration with higher and external organizations, explaining projects to secure private investors, diversifying budget acquisition, and persuading stakeholders for site and compensation negotiations.

Governor Seo said, "Pledges are promises to the residents. Keeping promises is important, but the process of fulfilling them is also important," and added, "I hope that through residents' briefings and public hearings, residents' opinions will be reflected to provide refined administration centered on actual users."
