[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Jeong Hyun-bok, mayor of Gwangyang City, announced on the 13th that he held the ‘On-Site Administration Day in January,’ a sympathetic and communicative administration seeking answers on-site, the day before to welcome the New Year of the Year of the Black Tiger.

On this day, he inspected ▲the installation site of solar-powered wall-mounted lights on the women’s safe return home path ▲the restoration project site of Marosan Fortress walls, and ▲rode an eco-friendly electric city bus to communicate with citizens.

Mayor Jeong visited the installation site of solar-powered wall-mounted lights on the women’s safe return home path in Waryong Village, Gwangyang-eup.

The wall-mounted lights installed in alleys vulnerable to crime due to the absence of streetlights charge solar power during the day and automatically turn on LED lights at night, providing walking convenience for residents walking through dark alleys.

After inspecting the site, Mayor Jeong instructed the related departments to further expand the installation of wall-mounted lights in crime-vulnerable areas so that citizens can pass safely, and to make efforts to prevent safety accidents and crimes.

Next, he visited the Marosan Fortress wall restoration project site to check the wall maintenance status and urged efforts to preserve the original form as much as possible so that the precious value of the cultural heritage is not damaged.

He then boarded the eco-friendly electric city bus that started operating last month at the Jungmadong bus terminal.

Riding bus number 1001 and circulating Jungmadong, Mayor Jeong communicated with citizens and ordered to expand the introduction of electric city buses to improve the environment, such as fine dust problems and air pollution caused by exhaust fumes, and to strengthen the eco-friendly city bus system.

Jeong Hyun-bok, mayor of Gwangyang City, said, “In the Year of the Black Tiger, I will continue to operate ‘On-Site Administration Days’ steadily, visiting sites where citizens’ lives are reflected, communicating with citizens, and carrying out citizen-centered administration,” adding, “With the attitude of Yujigyeongseong (有志竟成), we will create a Gwangyang where all citizens become happier.”

Meanwhile, Gwangyang City inspects the progress of projects and listens to voices from the field by the mayor directly visiting major project sites, sites for collecting public opinions, and small and medium-sized enterprises through the operation of On-Site Administration Days on the second and third weeks of every month, and plans to continue promoting administration that finds answers on-site in the future.
