'30 Years of Local Councils' Selected Outstanding Local Ordinances at Gwanghwamun 1st Street... National Online Review

Select Best Practices by October 3 and Award on October 29, Local Autonomy Day

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 23rd that it will conduct the 'Public Perception (Online) Survey on Excellent Cases of Local Councils' from the 24th to October 3rd.

This public perception survey was prepared to hear the thoughts and evaluations of the public on 30 excellent cases, selected through expert review, among ordinances and legislative activities that have changed our lives over the past 30 years of local councils.

The Excellent Cases Competition for Local Councils has been promoted since 2019 to discover and disseminate excellent cases of local council legislative activities and to spread positive awareness of local councils. This year, to commemorate 30 years of local councils, excellent cases covering the entire range of local council legislative activities from the reestablishment of local councils in 1991 to the present will be selected.

A total of 100 excellent cases were submitted to this year's Excellent Cases Competition for Local Councils, and after evaluation by a joint review committee selected by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Government Legislation, 30 cases were chosen as subjects for the public perception survey.

Anyone who is a citizen of the Republic of Korea can participate in this public perception survey by accessing the online Gwanghwamun 1st Street website for 10 days, reviewing the 'Performance Summary Materials' for each task, and voting for five excellent cases per person.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to select the final 12 candidates advancing to the finals of the 'Excellent Cases Competition for Local Councils' by synthesizing the results of this public perception survey and the second expert review. The finals of the competition will be held on October 29 at the Local Autonomy Day event, where awards such as the Grand Prize (Presidential Citation), the Excellence Award (Prime Minister's Citation), and the Merit Award (Minister of the Interior and Safety and Minister of Government Legislation Citations) will be decided through on-site evaluation.

Park Seong-ho, Director of the Local Autonomy and Decentralization Office, said, "With the advent of the era of Decentralization 2.0, the center of local autonomy is shifting from heads of local governments to residents and councils," and added, "We hope that the Excellent Cases Competition for Local Councils will be an opportunity to share the achievements of local councils and bring them closer to the residents."
