Gokseong-gun Accelerates Citizen Happiness Through Proactive Administration

5 Exemplary Cases of Proactive Administration and Awards for 7 Outstanding Public Officials

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cha Jong-sun] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 3rd that it selected a total of 7 outstanding proactive public officials for the first half of 2021 and awarded the governor’s commendation on the 1st.

An outstanding proactive public official refers to a public servant who actively engages in work based on expertise and creativity for the public interest.

Gokseong-gun received a total of 13 proactive administrative cases through two rounds of department recommendations in the first half of this year. Then, through the first preliminary review (five evaluation indicators including creativity and contribution to county administration) and the final review by the Proactive Administration Committee, a total of 5 cases were finally selected.

All contributors (a total of 7 people) who contributed to the promotion of the selected proactive administrative cases will be given personnel incentives such as the highest grade of performance bonuses.

The best case was “Dorimsa Valley, One Step Closer to the Residents.” Dorimsa Valley had been a place of constant complaints and disputes due to illegal platforms and sunshades installed by nearby stores.

To resolve this, Lim Chae-woo, team leader of the Tourism Division (then Safety and Construction Division), and Cho Hyun-jong, security guard (then Safety and Construction Division), continuously visited the store representatives and induced the removal of the facilities through persuasion and compromise.

As a result, Dorimsa Valley regained its former clean appearance and won the Excellence Award at the Jeollanam-do First Half Proactive Administration Best Practice Competition.

Other outstanding cases selected include ▲ Transformation of Ddongseom Island in the Seomjin River into a forest ecological treasure island (Excellence Award, Tourism Division Park Chang-jun), ▲ Friendly Economic Mr., a non-face-to-face problem solver for small business owners, and Gokseong Startup Nest (Encouragement Award, Culture and Sports Division Lee Myung-hee and Jukgok-myeon Sim Se-rin), ▲ Let’s make a Hope Nest together, housing construction project (Encouragement Award, Resident Welfare Division Lee Mi-ja), ▲ Come to the countryside! Gokseong Here愛! (Encouragement Award, Tourism Division Kim Eun-hee).

A Gokseong-gun official said, “We will continue to make efforts to spread performance-centered proactive administration that residents can directly feel.”
