For objectivity, this survey was conducted by a private research institute from November 13 to December 6, targeting 750 residents aged 18 or older living in the district through wired and wireless telephone interviews.

The survey covered overall satisfaction with local government administration, including 10 areas such as enhancing regional value, revitalizing the local economy, transportation environment, and residential/living environment, as well as evaluation of Gwangjin-gu’s COVID-19 response.
