Gwangjin-gu Operates 'Public Accountability System' Disclosing Officials in Charge of Construction and Projects Over 2 Billion Won

▲Construction and projects over 2 billion KRW ▲Research service projects over 200 million KRW ▲Enactment and revision of ordinances directly related to the daily lives of multiple residents ▲Policies related to residents' rights and duties: project details and contact persons disclosed upon application

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) will operate the ‘National Request Real-Name System’ on an ongoing basis to disclose district government projects to residents in order to ensure policy accountability and transparency.

The ‘National Request Real-Name System’ is one of the policies to strengthen the policy real-name system, reflecting residents' demands directly when selecting projects for policy real-name disclosure, thereby disclosing projects that residents want.

When residents directly request projects they want to know about, the Policy Real-Name System Deliberation Committee reviews the requests and selects target projects. Based on the results, the project details and the affiliation, position, and name of related personnel involved in policy decision-making and execution are disclosed.

Anyone interested in district government affairs can apply for the National Request Real-Name System. Applications can be submitted by writing directly on the ‘National Request Real-Name System’ bulletin board on the district website or by downloading the application form and sending it by mail or email (hayeoun@gwangjin.go.kr) to the Planning and Budget Division of Gwangjin-gu Office.

The scope of eligible projects includes ▲ construction and projects over 2 billion KRW ▲ research service projects over 200 million KRW ▲ enactment or revision of ordinances directly related to the daily lives of many residents ▲ policies related to residents’ rights and obligations. However, cases excluded are those subject to non-disclosure under the Information Disclosure Act, simple complaints contrary to the purpose of the policy real-name system, unclear content, or projects already disclosed under the policy real-name system.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, stated, “We will carry out a more trusted administration through transparent and substantial operation of the policy real-name system,” and added, “In particular, by changing the quarterly reception period to a continuous reception from this year, we expect more active participation from residents.”
