On the 6th, Haman-gun announced that it implemented department mergers and closures, new establishments, transfers, and name changes to actively respond to administrative demands and environmental changes and to improve work efficiency.

The Planning and Budget Office was renamed the Planning and Audit Officer, the Innovation Growth Officer became the Innovation Strategy Officer, and the Happiness Sharing Division was renamed the Welfare Policy Division to clearly define the departments responsible for each task.

The audit responsibilities under the Innovation Strategy Officer were transferred to the Planning and Audit Officer, and a Strategic Project TF Team was newly established to strengthen the Innovation Strategy Officer’s functions in securing future growth engines such as private investment projects and attracting public institutions.

To promote a metropolitan bus transfer system, the transportation management responsibilities were separated, and an Urban Regeneration Division was separately created as a core national agenda to breathe new life into declining cities.

The compensation responsibilities under the Construction and Transportation Division were abolished, making the project-leading departments jointly responsible for compensation tasks, and the names of seven departments were changed.

Within the Innovation Strategy Officer, the Regional Development Officer was renamed Rural Development Officer; the Children’s Dream Start Officer in the Resident Welfare Division became the Children and Youth Officer; the Environmental Guidance Officer in the Environment Division was changed to Air Quality Management Officer; and the Livestock Environment Officer was renamed Living Environment Officer.

The Disaster Safety Officer in the Safety General Division became the Safety Management Officer; the Recovery Support Officer was renamed Natural Disaster Officer; and the Happiness Sharing Officer in Gaya-eup was changed to Welfare Support Officer.

The county submitted and amended an ordinance to increase the staff from 722 to 737 to efficiently promote government policies and local projects. The organization was restructured into 3 bureaus, 3 officers, 12 divisions, 1 council, 2 direct agencies, 5 business offices, and 171 officers across 10 eup and myeon.

A county official said, “The restructuring was decided to efficiently promote government policies such as the independence of personnel authority of the council and local projects such as the establishment of a health center in Chilseo-myeon, and to strengthen regional competitiveness. The adjustment, transfer, and merger of tasks among officers in the current organization will improve work efficiency and stabilize the organization.”
