Ulsan Ulju-gun Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Ulju-gun, Ulsan City, was selected as an excellent institution for four consecutive years in the 2021 Local Government Innovation Evaluation hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The evaluation was conducted based on a total of 14 indicators across 5 categories: autonomous innovation, participation and cooperation, inclusive administration, trusted government, innovation diffusion, and public perception, targeting 243 metropolitan and basic local governments nationwide.

An expert evaluation team composed of professors and civic groups, as well as a public evaluation team recruited from the general public, participated in the evaluation.

Ulju-gun received a score of 89.7, an increase of 13.2 points compared to the previous year, making it the only excellent institution in Ulsan City to be listed.

The county achieved scores far exceeding the county-level average of 63.3 points by being recognized for performance in most indicators, including the head of the institution’s innovation leadership, activation of resident participation, and efforts to strengthen social values.

The county reported that resident-centered innovative projects such as operating various communication channels for open administration, digital innovation in disaster management through the establishment of a smart radiation disaster prevention system and Ulju-type emergency integrated management system, and operating a dementia shuttle bus to eliminate blind spots in public services led to favorable evaluations.

County Governor Lee Seon-ho said, “The efforts of everyone who continuously communicated with residents and sought solutions have borne fruit,” and added, “We will actively discover and promote various projects to strengthen innovation capabilities and create a better Ulju-gun together with residents.”
