[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sacheon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 20th that it was selected as an ‘Excellent’ institution in the ‘2022 Comprehensive Information Disclosure Evaluation’ hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety evaluates and publishes the results of information disclosure performance conducted throughout 2020 for 591 institutions nationwide, including central administrative agencies, local governments, and public institutions.

This evaluation was conducted on 10 indicators across 4 areas: prior information, original document disclosure, request processing, and customer management. Based on the evaluation rankings and scores by institution type, four grades (Excellent, Good, Average, Poor) were assigned.

The city received high scores in the number of prior information disclosure registrations, completeness of prior information disclosure, information list disclosure rate, and conformity to detailed non-disclosure criteria, leading to its selection as an Excellent institution. Within Gyeongnam Province, only Jinju City and Sacheon City were selected as Excellent among cities.

The city was evaluated to have improved citizen satisfaction through strengthened prior information and original document disclosure and prompt and accurate processing.

In particular, Sacheon City has been selected as an Excellent or Good institution in 2020 and 2021 as well, serving as a model for other institutions in guaranteeing the public’s right to know, public participation, and transparency in institution management.

Mayor Park Dong-sik said, “We will not be satisfied with this evaluation and will actively improve the areas that are lacking,” adding, “We will ensure citizens’ right to know and enhance transparency in city administration through citizen-centered information disclosure management.”
