Byeongno Lee, Damyang County Governor, Actively Promotes Dynamic Administration That Residents Can Feel

Strengthening On-Site Visits... Prioritizing Listening to Field Voices on Regulatory Reform and Resolving Complaints

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Lee Byeongno, the mayor of Damyang County, announced on the 6th that he is strengthening on-site visits to carry out administration together with the residents at their level of understanding.

First, after taking office, he established a Participation Communication Office to enhance communication with the residents.

He gathered tasks that frequently interact with residents, such as autonomy and decentralization, external cooperation, and public relations, in one place to maximize efficiency and built a one-stop system that can reflect the voices of residents in county administration.

Along with this, he listens to voices from the field, checks the direction and progress of project implementation, identifies problems, and derives improvement plans to increase the driving force and outcomes of projects by directly visiting sites of current issues and livelihood fields every day.

To promptly handle complaints heard during site visits, a dedicated complaint handling team operates, and in the past three months, 185 small-scale complaints heard on-site have been addressed.

Also, to reform regulations requested by residents, a Regulatory Reform Committee was established, and simultaneously, about 250 building permits were approved by easing building permit guidelines, demonstrating dynamic administration that residents can feel.

Mayor Lee Byeongno said, “I will do my best to promote county administration that walks with the residents, as emphasized at the inauguration ceremony,” and added, “I will actively reflect even the small voices of residents to create a new Damyang.”
