The 2021 evaluation operated a total of 125 indicators, including 89 from the 5 major national goals and 36 from the province's priority tasks.

Quantitative evaluation was based on goal achievement levels, and qualitative evaluation was conducted twice by a joint evaluation team consisting of 231 public officials and experts.

Notably, this time residents directly participated in the evaluation process to select 20 excellent cases from the qualitative evaluation outstanding cases. This was to obtain reactions from the actual beneficiaries of the policies and share them with all cities and counties as important success cases.

According to the results of this evaluation, a total of 2 billion KRW in financial performance bonuses will be distributed to the 18 cities and counties, and the governor's commendations will be awarded to outstanding cities, counties, and meritorious public officials.

Until last year, financial performance bonuses were given only to the top 3 outstanding cities and counties, but from this year, the distribution method has changed to allocate bonuses to all cities and counties based on the achievement rate or the proportion of selected outstanding cases.
