[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan City is selecting outstanding public officials for proactive administration in the second half of 2021 together with its citizens.

The outstanding public officials are selected to spread a culture of proactive administration in public service that citizens can empathize with and experience.

The ‘Outstanding Public Official Selection System’ is a policy to choose public officials who contribute to the development of city administration by actively promoting work with creativity and expertise.

Outstanding public officials are selected every half year, and incentives are given to public officials to foster and spread a proactive and active work culture in public service.

The city selected and shared a total of 130 excellent cases and chose 26 outstanding public officials for proactive administration, granting personnel incentives such as special promotions and the highest grade of performance pay.

The selection targets are proactive administration cases from the second half of last year.

Outstanding cases and public officials will be recommended internally by departments and by citizens through the proactive administration section on the Busan City website from the 3rd to the 21st, followed by a first round of practical review, a second round of citizen review, and a third round of review and resolution by the Proactive Administration Committee before final selection.

Selected outstanding public officials will receive certificates and prize money, along with special personnel benefits.

The selected outstanding proactive administration cases will be produced as videos, card news, and casebooks to widely inform public officials and citizens.

Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, said, “We will prioritize proactive public officials to firmly establish a proactive administration culture that citizens can feel.”
