Hampyeong-gun 'Visiting Open County Office' Listens to Residents' Voices

Visiting Eup and Myeon Offices, Senior Centers, etc. to Listen to Suggestions

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do announced on the 9th that it will operate a ‘Visiting Open County Office’ to directly listen to and communicate with residents about inconveniences in their daily lives and opinions for county administration development.

While the existing ‘Open County Office’ required residents to visit the county office in person, the ‘Visiting Open County Office’ will have the county head visit nine towns and townships directly to hear and receive residents’ civil complaints and suggestions on site.

The operation of the Visiting Open County Office will start at Hampyeong-eup Office and plans to tour township offices and senior centers until the 24th. Residents wishing to participate can apply through their township offices.

On the 3rd, at the first operation held at Hampyeong-eup Office, about 10 residents visited and directly proposed nine cases to the county head, including the ‘Supply of city gas to Naegyo 5-ri Oedaehwa Village.’

The county plans to have the relevant departments verify the residents’ suggestions and opinions on county administration collected that day on site and prepare solutions.

County Head Lee Sang-ik said, “Through the Visiting Open County Office, we were able to hear various opinions and grievances from residents,” adding, “Although communication is limited due to COVID-19, we will seek various methods to carry out on-site communication administration.”

Meanwhile, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the event will be conducted strictly following quarantine rules such as temperature checks and mask-wearing, allowing only those who have pre-registered to visit at the designated time.
