Gwangsan District Council of Gwangju Holds Meeting to Promote Operation of Village Administrative Officers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Citizen Safety Committee of the Gwangsan District Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City (Chairman Yoon Young-il) shared the current status of village administrative officers' operations and sought ways to revitalize them.

According to the Gwangsan District Council on the 16th, the council recently held a meeting to promote the "activation of village administrative officers' operations."

Thirteen people attended, including Councilor Yang Man-ju as the chair, Councilors Park Mi-ok, Lee Woo-hyung, Han Yoon-hee, village administrative officers of Gwangsan District, and related public officials.

Currently, there are a total of nine village administrative officers in Gwangsan District. Since their appointment in November 2021 through the "Gwangsan District Our Village Administrative Officers" project, they have been providing free consultation services on complex administrative tasks to residents through voluntary service and talent donation.

Last year, they performed consultation duties related to ▲labor and industrial accident issues ▲various permits and approvals ▲foreign immigration ▲vehicle registration and petitions ▲administrative appeals, among others.

Councilor Yang Man-ju said, "I deeply agree with the opinion that the 'village administrative officer project' should be further expanded as it is a public interest project that can especially improve administrative accessibility for vulnerable groups," adding, "Based on the insights gathered today, we will strive to enact ordinances to revitalize village administrative officers so that all district residents can benefit."
