Gwangju Buk-gu, Nationwide Best in Public Resource Opening and Sharing Service Evaluation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 20th that it was selected as the best institution in the ‘Public Resource Opening and Sharing Service Performance Evaluation’ conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety targeting 243 local governments nationwide, receiving the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award and securing a financial incentive of 50 million won.

This evaluation was conducted for the first time this year to expand public resource opening and sharing services and to promote feedback such as self-improvement activities. It was decided through an examination by experts and a public evaluation group on ▲expansion and promotion performance of open resources ▲efforts to improve resident services ▲user satisfaction, among other criteria.

Since the 7th local government term, Buk-gu has been promoting the ‘Shared Parking Lot’ project, which opens parking spaces in public and private facilities free of charge, striving to solve downtown parking problems. It has also taken the lead in solving social issues through sharing activities, such as operating a ‘School Uniform Sharing Permanent Store’ to reduce the economic burden on parents.

In particular, Buk-gu actively responded to residents’ demand for sharing services through operating six ‘Item Sharing Rooms’ that lend items difficult to purchase in daily life and a ‘Sharing Truck’ service.

Additionally, by continuously discovering and sharing ‘Our Neighborhood Learning Nuri Centers,’ which provide idle spaces in public institutions and spaces in private facilities such as cafes and galleries as learning meeting places for residents, Buk-gu focused on spreading a culture of sharing in daily life.

District Mayor Moon In said, “Taking this award as an opportunity, we will further activate private participation to expand the opening and sharing of public resources and promote community-centered opening and sharing policies such as creating sharing villages beyond the existing public resources focused on items and spaces.”
