Jeongeup-si Operates Citizen Communication Platform 'Open Communication Space'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 14th that it will operate an online communication channel called ‘Yeollin Sotonggonggan’ to expand citizen participation in policies and realize communication administration.

‘Yeollin Sotonggonggan’ is an online communication platform where citizens can directly participate in policies and make proposals, allowing widely supported suggestions to become Jeongeup City’s policies.

The purpose is to fill the gap in public-private communication caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to seek regional development plans through real-time communication with citizens.

It is also Mayor Yoo Jinseop’s determination to listen to and communicate citizens’ opinions safely and efficiently.

To participate, access the ‘Open Innovation’ menu on Jeongeup City’s website and submit after real-name verification using a mobile phone or I-PIN.

Citizens can freely make suggestions ranging from problems experienced in daily life to directions for regional development and proposals for necessary facilities.

However, legally mandated complaints, matters involving private interests or ongoing disputes, and simple complaints or other non-policy proposals are excluded.

Submitted proposals that receive 50 or more citizen sympathies within 30 days will be discussed by the ‘Jeongeup City Better Citizen Communication Committee’ to decide whether to adopt and implement the policy.

Mayor Yoo Jinseop said, “We ask for your great interest and participation in operating the open communication space where opinions can be freely proposed regardless of time and place,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to realize communication administration with citizens.”
