In this evaluation, Gyeongsan City received high scores in seven categories including ▲contribution to the establishment of the childcare support system ▲childcare center safety management ▲expansion of public childcare ▲excellent cases of COVID-19 response. Notably, it was the only city among the 23 cities and counties in Gyeongbuk Province to receive the excellence award, adding significance.
