[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Jeollanam-do Boseong-gun (Governor Kim Cheol-woo) announced on the 29th that it won the Excellence Award for two consecutive years in the second half of this year’s ‘Jeonnam Province Active Administration Best Practices Competition.’

The policy selected as an excellent case of active administration this time is ‘Painting 600 colors in 600 villages - Boseong 600 Project, Our Neighborhood, Our Care.’

The Boseong 600 Project, Our Neighborhood, Our Care is a village improvement project that Boseong-gun has been promoting as a key policy since last year, with 272 villages and about 10,000 residents participating this year.

In particular, as a resident participation project, residents directly discuss and decide on village management plans and small-scale projects they want to promote in the village, and Boseong-gun provides administrative support.

Especially, in villages lacking labor for promotion, the labor shortage problem was solved by linking projects between neighboring villages or collaborating with various social organizations such as the Saemaeul Association and the Women’s Association.

Also, in villages where income-generating crops were planted, they harvested durup (Aralia sprout), sunflowers, etc. this year to create joint village income.

For a complete project, continuous follow-up management such as weed removal and tree pruning conducted by the village itself is ongoing.

Meanwhile, the second half of this year’s Jeonnam Province Active Administration Best Practices Competition was planned to establish an active administrative public service culture through the dissemination and sharing of excellent active administration cases. Excellent cases were received from 22 cities and counties and local public corporations in Jeonnam Province, and after eligibility screening, expert evaluation, public official evaluation, citizen evaluation, and presentation evaluation, 10 cities and counties were selected as award-winning institutions in the city/county and public corporation sectors.

A governor’s institutional commendation is awarded to the winning institutions.

Since April, Boseong-gun has established and implemented an active administration execution plan, and has made efforts to spread public consensus on active administration externally through education for all employees, operation of a citizen recommendation system for excellent public officials, and distribution of active administration best practice card news.
