[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) has reorganized its organization as of January 1 to enhance the completeness of key district projects and actively respond to complex and diverse administrative demands.


This reorganization focuses on strengthening residents' safety and welfare and promoting eco-friendly resource circulation policies by establishing three new departments: Disaster Safety Division, Family Policy Division, and Resource Circulation Division.


First, the Disaster Safety Division was established to strengthen the control tower function for unpredictable social disasters, take charge of tasks related to the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, and oversee administrative work for residents' safety.


Additionally, to respond to administrative demands arising from social structural changes such as changes in family forms, the Family Policy Division was established to strengthen gender equality, childbirth support, and policies supporting single-person households.


Furthermore, to lead eco-friendly policies for recycling the rapidly increasing household waste and garbage due to diversified living patterns, the Resource Circulation Division was established to promote the transition to a sustainable resource circulation society.


Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, stated, “After long discussions and considerations to protect residents' safety and improve quality of life, we have reorganized the organization. We will efficiently operate the reorganized organization with our staff to actively respond to various administrative demands.”
