[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do announced the selection of seven "Excellent Policies of the Year 2021" on the 20th.

According to the county on the 21st, the "Excellent Policies of the Year Selection" was conducted to assess the policy effectiveness and resident satisfaction of new policies implemented within the last three years.

Out of 26 excellent policies proposed by each department, the final selections were made through a first round of internal review and a second round of evaluation by external experts.

The seven policies selected as the Excellent Policies of the Year include the establishment of Muan County urban identity and BI design development, the creation of Noeulgil Camping Site Theme Park, the development of a public parking lot utilizing idle land in Namak New Town, the construction of Muan-eup Complex Cultural Center, the creation of an octopus resource spawning habitat, a pilot project to reduce production costs through integrated mechanization of seasoned vegetables, and the Modunuri Namak Open Forest project.

In particular, the "Development of a Public Parking Lot Utilizing Idle Land in Namak New Town" was selected as the best policy through an online national participation vote.

The "Development of a Public Parking Lot Utilizing Idle Land in Namak New Town" addressed severe parking shortages in areas closely linked to commercial districts, enhancing convenience for residents. The policy also received high praise from residents for proactive administration, such as providing property tax reductions to landowners who offered idle land, earning it the top award.

Additionally, other resident-centered policies that received high satisfaction ratings include the Modunuri Namak Open Forest project, which created a resting area connecting the city and nature within the provincial government office, and the Noeulgil Camping Site development and fee reduction project, which was the first in the nation to implement a reduction ordinance based on consumption amounts to revitalize the local economy.

County Governor Kim San stated, "Despite the crisis caused by COVID-19, we carried out projects that meet residents' policy demands through communication and collaboration. We will discover more policies that benefit residents and prepare various ways for residents to directly participate in county administration, leading open governance and communicative administration."

Meanwhile, the "Excellent Policies of the Year Selection," first implemented last year, targeted new policies implemented within the last three years. It was conducted by soliciting 26 excellent policies from departments and divisions, followed by a first internal review and a second external expert review, ultimately selecting seven excellent policies and one best policy through a final national online participation vote.
