Why Did Gangnam-gu Launch the Resident Life Inconvenience Improvement Team?

100 Residents Directly Surveyed Daily Life Facilities for 1 Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will operate the ‘Resident Life Minor Inconvenience Improvement Team,’ consisting of 100 residents who directly identify and request improvements for inconveniences, for one month starting from the 1st.

The district planned this project as part of proactive administration to create jobs and solve daily inconveniences from the perspective of Gangnam residents.

The ‘Inconvenience Improvement Team,’ composed of 100 members including 80 participants supported by the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s National Employment Support System ‘Work Experience Program,’ is organized into morning, afternoon, and night shifts, inspecting major arterial roads, parks, and other daily life-related facilities for 4 hours each day.

The district will receive real-time reports of inconveniences and improvement matters such as ▲urban aesthetics-damaging facilities ▲damaged or broken facilities ▲ways to narrow the gap between administration and residents through SNS chat rooms, then classify issues into those that can be immediately corrected and those requiring long-term review, and proceed with extensive maintenance.

Jeong Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, “Through the Improvement Team, we will carefully observe and maintain our surroundings with a heart of cooperation, consideration, and respect among myself, you, and us,” adding, “We will realize a dignified city Gangnam that listens attentively to even minor inconveniences from the perspective of Gangnam residents and actively improves them.”
