Yujinseop, Mayor of Jeongeup, Checks Progress on Citizens' Requests

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk Province (Mayor Yoo Jinseop) has begun addressing grievances by reviewing the suggestions received during the month-long dialogue with citizens held last March.

On the 22nd, the city announced that it held a 2021 Citizen Empathy Dialogue Suggestions Progress Report Meeting at the city hall's main conference room, attended by Mayor Yoo Jinseop and the heads of relevant departments.

The report meeting was organized to promptly address the various suggestions collected during the citizen empathy dialogues conducted while touring 23 eup, myeon, and dong districts, aiming to enhance trust in city administration and strengthen communication governance.

At the meeting, the progress of 97 suggestion items was reviewed, and in-depth discussions were held regarding future handling plans and measures for swift resolution.

Upon reviewing the citizen complaints, it was found that issues related to roads, transportation, and construction?areas closely connected to citizens' daily lives?constituted a large portion.

Among these, 22 urgent issues directly affecting citizens' lives, such as small-scale road repairs, drainage facility maintenance, and illegal waste disposal, have already been resolved, improving citizens' satisfaction and perception.

Eleven cases requiring budget allocation, including road opening and expansion, farm road paving, small stream maintenance, and roundabout installation, are currently underway.

Additionally, 56 complaints requiring significant budgets and detailed review?such as urban gas supply to detached houses, underground utility line projects, underground passage canopy installation, and public parking lot construction?will be pursued through mid- to long-term planning.

Eight suggestions that are either excessively costly or cannot be pursued due to relevant regulations are being reviewed and managed to provide feedback to the concerned residents.

The city plans to proceed with the proposals and suggestions without delay, notify citizens accordingly, and continue managing progress through subsequent report meetings.

Mayor Yoo Jinseop stated, “While swift resolution of suggestions is important, communication with citizens must come first,” adding, “By fully understanding citizens' inconveniences and actively addressing their suggestions, we aim to raise the citizen happiness index and implement trusted administration.”

He further added, “Since budget-related issues are the greatest challenge in resolving suggestions, please do your best to secure budgets and explore various promotion methods through national public projects.”
