View original image[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi-do received a first-grade rating in four safety index categories: traffic accidents, fires, suicides, and daily life safety. With this, Gyeonggi-do has been selected as the region with the most first-grade categories among provincial-level institutions for eight consecutive years since 2015.
On the 16th, Gyeonggi-do announced that it received first-grade ratings in all four categories?traffic accidents, fires, suicides, and daily life safety?among the six safety index evaluation indicators announced by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
However, the province's rating in the crime category dropped one grade from third to fourth, and the infectious disease category fell two grades from second to fourth.
The province analyzed that the decline in the crime category was mainly due to an increase in the five major crimes and low resident participation, while the decline in the infectious disease category was primarily caused by an increase in COVID-19 deaths and infections.
Park Sang-deok, head of the Safety Planning Division of the province, said, "Gyeonggi-do receiving the most first-grade evaluations in multiple categories is the result of all related parties working together to raise safety awareness and establish a safety foundation," emphasizing, "To protect the safety of family and neighbors, it is above all necessary for residents themselves to practice safety rules, even if it takes time and causes inconvenience."
