[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] The 'Naju Great Transformation Transition Committee' (Chairman Yeoseonggu), established for the successful administrative transition of Yoon Byeongtae, the elected mayor of Naju City, Jeollanam-do in the 8th local election, announced on the 12th that it has begun a public livelihood visit schedule to find answers on-site and listen to public opinion.

Immediately after its launch on the 8th, the transition committee listened to the major tasks of 33 departments across offices and bureaus over a tight two-day schedule on the 9th and 10th. On the 11th, it began full-scale field visits starting with helping onion farmers in Munpyeong-myeon.

They inspected crop damage caused by nearly half a year of drought, discussed recovery and compensation measures, and 25 participants including Mayor-elect Yoon, transition committee members, and office staff helped with the onion harvest.

Starting the public livelihood field visit schedule, the transition committee plans to check the overall ecological and tourism roadmap for fostering ecological tourism of the Yeongsan River, one of Mayor-elect Yoon’s representative pledges, by boarding the Yeongsan River Hwangpodotbae (traditional sailboat).

They will also visit Bitgaram Innovation City and Innovation Industrial Complex to understand the status of the Energy Valley’s hinterland industrial complex development and brainstorm ways to improve residential conditions.

The Naju Great Transformation Transition Committee operates under the slogan “A transition committee that works hard on-site and communicates with citizens,” focusing on grasping vivid public livelihood issues and ensuring citizen participation in administration, conducting activities on-site rather than at desks.

Mayor-elect Yoon said, “The transition committee, composed of practical personnel by sector, is accelerating the understanding of administrative issues,” and added, “We will strengthen on-site schedules from the transition committee stage to realize the value of participation and autonomy through communication with citizens and listen carefully to the diverse voices of citizens.”
