[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 23rd that it was selected as the best institution in the '2020 Autumn Road Maintenance Self-Evaluation' hosted by Gwangju Metropolitan City.

This evaluation was conducted through on-site assessments of the actual road management status targeting five autonomous districts, as well as administrative evaluations including budget securing and road-related data management practices.

The main evaluation areas comprehensively reviewed overall matters related to road and road facility maintenance, including ▲pavement repair ▲structure repair ▲safety facility maintenance ▲cleanliness of road facilities ▲project planning and general administration.

So far, Dong-gu has formed and operated a regular inspection team for managed facilities such as 103.3 km of paved roads, 21 bridges, 5 overpasses, 2 underpasses, and 45.82 km of bicycle roads, strengthening surveillance activities to thoroughly prevent resident safety accidents.

In particular, it was evaluated that administrative reliability and satisfaction were enhanced by immediately handling complaints received in real-time through the mobile app ‘Dong-gu Doodream’.

Also, during the heavy rain on August 7-8, by actively encouraging residents to report damages such as road washouts, damage, and soil runoff, rapid restoration work was carried out in the affected areas.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “I am pleased that the efforts to provide residents with a safe and convenient walking environment through thorough road management have been recognized,” and added, “We will continue to prioritize resident safety and do our best in road inspection and maintenance.”
