Boseong-gun plans to focus on reviewing projects for county government investment across the board, projects aimed at improving the welfare and quality of life of local residents, projects with public benefits that can benefit many residents, population increase initiatives, and job creation projects, and promote them as key policy projects.

Submitted proposal projects will be thoroughly reviewed by the relevant departments for feasibility and resident benefit, then finalized through deliberation by the Resident Participation Budget Committee, and reflected in the 2023 budget once confirmed.

A Boseong-gun official said, “Since 2012, we have been promoting the resident-participation budget proposal contest with the goal of ensuring transparency and democracy in the budget by legally and institutionally guaranteeing residents’ participation in the budget formulation process and realizing fiscal democracy.” He added, “As the flower of local autonomy begins with resident participation, we ask for the active participation of all residents.”

The resident-participation budget system is a system where residents discover and propose necessary local projects by resolving inconveniences in daily life and reducing budgets for unnecessary projects, thereby participating in budget formulation.
