In this evaluation, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety assessed that Hamyang-gun significantly contributed to landscape improvement through the 'Hamyang-gun Illegal Advertising Zero!' campaign to eradicate illegal advertisements by creating clean streets after being selected for the signboard improvement project contest from 2019 to 2020.

The county has become a model for domestic signboard improvement projects to the extent that it was selected as the target site for the 'Domestic Outdoor Advertising Excellent Area Ontact Field Learning' conducted by the Korea Outdoor Advertising Association.

This year, it was selected for the Cheongjeong Seosang-ro signboard improvement project contest and plans to continue the signboard improvement project for three consecutive years.
