Boseong-gun Selected as an Excellent Institution in Comprehensive Active Administration Evaluation... The Only One in the Honam Region

Kim Cheol-woo, Bosung County Governor, Emphasizes "One Step Ahead Communication, Two Steps Faster Administration"

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong County announced on the 3rd that it was selected as an excellent institution in last year's 'Comprehensive Evaluation of Active Administration by Local Governments' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Boseong County, the only active administration excellent institution selected in the Honam region, is known to have made efforts not only to establish an institutional foundation for active administration but also to establish an 'active administrative public service culture' that thinks from the perspective of residents and responds as if it were their own business.

Since the beginning of his term, Kim Cheol-woo, the governor of Boseong County, has promoted regular meetings with social organizations with a unique communication philosophy of 'one step ahead communication, two steps faster administration,' widely listening to the voices of residents and reflecting them in county administration, and has emphasized 'breaking passive administration and realizing active administration' to employees.

In particular, when communication opportunities with residents decreased due to COVID-19, Governor Kim Cheol-woo expanded communication channels with residents significantly by utilizing various social media such as online messengers and YouTube.

In addition, in response to the central government's policy to spread and establish active administration, Boseong County carefully prepared an institutional foundation for realizing active administration, including △enactment of the active administration operation ordinance, △selection and awarding of excellent cases and public officials in active administration in the first half of the year, and △operation of an online resident recommendation system.

It also received good evaluations for conducting non-face-to-face workplace training for all employees (twice) through real-time broadcasts by department.

Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, “Active administration is not something implemented by public officials alone, but we will support the establishment of a public service culture in which the entire Boseong County supports and helps public officials' active administration,” and added, “We will strive to ensure that active administration, which thinks first from the residents' perspective and handles tasks actively and proactively while promoting change, takes root in our county.”

Meanwhile, to help local farms struggling due to COVID-19, last year, public officials directly created special product characters inspired by representative specialties such as Boseong Green Tea, Beolgyo Cockles, and Boseong Kiwi, winning the Our Neighborhood Character Award. They also formed the YouTube production team BS Special Forces, in which public officials directly appear to promote the region and inform about various policies and systems, efforts that earned them the Jeollanam-do Active Administration Excellence Award.
