[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Yangju City in Gyeonggi Province has begun preparations for the second round of evaluation to attract two institutions that passed the first round of the third relocation of Gyeonggi-do public institutions.

Yangju City stated on the 10th, "We applied for three institutions?the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Research Institute, and Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation?in the third relocation contest, and passed the first round of evaluation for attracting the Gyeonggi Research Institute and Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation."

It added, "Through an ARS telephone survey, we will assess residents' awareness and enthusiasm for the relocation of Gyeonggi-do public institutions and reflect this in the final evaluation for attracting public institutions," urging active participation and cooperation from citizens.

The second round of evaluation will be conducted by the 26th using an Automated Response System (ARS) for a public opinion survey targeting local residents of municipalities that passed the first round, along with presentation (PT) evaluations based on balanced development, work relevance, environmental conditions, project suitability, and provincial government cooperation.

Accordingly, since February, the city has strategically responded according to the contest schedule by forming a 'Public Institution Attraction Task Force (T/F)' led by Vice Mayor Jo Hak-su, emphasizing Yangju as the central city of northern Gyeonggi metropolitan transportation with planned railway network construction, highlighting the necessity of attraction.

In particular, to ensure successful attraction, a 'Pan-Citizen Promotion Committee' was launched, continuing citizen-centered voluntary activities such as idea contests, online and offline signature campaigns, and the Okjeong-Hoecheon New Town Development Solidarity Attraction Prayer Rally.

The city is also focusing on gathering citizen will and raising public opinion and the necessity of attraction by holding campaigns like the 'Walking with Gamdong-i at the Northern Gyeonggi Government Complex' and the 'Gyeonggi-do Public Institution Attraction Online Concert.'

Having previously succeeded in attracting the Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation, the city is preparing for the second round of evaluation to improve the quality of life for Yangju citizens who have endured special sacrifices due to overlapping regulations such as military facility protection zones and development restriction zones, and to secure a driving force for balanced regional development.

Yangju Mayor Lee Seong-ho said, "I thank the 230,000 Yangju citizens and the 'Pan-Citizen Promotion Committee' who have worked hard since March to attract public institutions," and requested "citizen participation and cooperation to achieve good results in the local public opinion survey."
