[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Kim Jongsik, mayor of Mokpo City, will engage in communication administration with citizens as a one-day Dongjang at the frontline administrative agency.

According to Mokpo City on the 20th, Mayor Kim plans to perform the role of a one-day Dongjang at 23 Dong Administrative Welfare Centers in the district starting from the 23rd, practicing communication administration by inspecting the livelihood sites and listening to inconveniences and opinions on city administration.

Mayor Kim will encourage Dong employees, inspect facilities frequently used by residents such as small libraries and community rooms, and have time to listen to opinions on local issues from resident representatives such as heads of self-support groups.

He will also visit senior centers and welfare facilities to check the condition of the facilities and listen to difficulties. In particular, he plans to visit vulnerable households such as elderly living alone to understand their living conditions and refine plans to resolve welfare blind spots.

Along with this, he plans to visit stores and traditional markets struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic to seek ways to alleviate the difficulties of small business owners.

Mayor Kim Jongsik said, “Although it is only for one day as Dongjang, it will be a valuable time to communicate frankly and listen to citizens’ sincere stories about city administration, and to closely observe residents’ living sites,” adding, “I will practice field-centered administration at the Dong Administrative Welfare Centers that provide administrative services at the frontline.”
