8th Elected Term, Stable Implementation of Campaign Promises and Key Policies

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is set to fully activate a citizen-tailored organization.


The county passed an organizational restructuring plan through the county council in December last year, which includes the establishment of a health center division, renaming of three departments, and creation of six new positions, to steadily promote campaign pledges and key policies following the launch of the 8th local government administration.


With this organizational restructuring, the county is expected to gain momentum in future initiatives as it can now stably support key policies such as citizen health promotion, overcoming the crisis of regional extinction, and campaign projects of the 8th local government administration.


The main changes in the reorganized Hamyang-gun organization include the restructuring of the health center into two departments?Health Administration and Health Promotion?to provide customized health care for citizens and efficiently respond to various health demands such as COVID-19, mental health, and dementia.

To overcome the crisis of regional extinction, the Future Development Officer will oversee various public contest projects including the Rural Agreement Project and youth population affairs, preparing steadily for Hamyang-gun’s future.


Additionally, to strengthen elderly welfare, a campaign pledge of the 8th local government administration, the Residents’ Happiness Department has been renamed the Elderly Welfare Department and reorganized to make it easier for citizens to find related departments.


The Sansam Expo Department has been renamed the Sansam Anti-Aging Department, focusing on anti-aging tasks within the existing Sansam business department to strengthen the foundation for the industrialization of Sansam.


Furthermore, to proactively respond to the crisis of regional extinction, a Regional Vitality Officer has been added under the Future Development Officer; a Mobile Civil Complaints Officer has been added to the Civil Service Department to handle living complaints of elderly living alone; a Disability Officer has been added to the Social Welfare Department for systematic disability welfare affairs; a Major Disaster Officer has been added to the Safety City Department to protect citizens’ safety from major disasters; a Medical Officer has been added to the Health Center for efficient medical management; and a Water Flow Management Officer has been newly established in the Water and Sewage Business Office for systematic maintenance of local water supply.



County Governor Jin Byeong-yeong said, “Through the newly launched Hamyang-gun organization in the Year of the Rabbit, we will actively and proactively respond to citizens’ administrative demands, vigorously promote major pledges and policy projects of the 8th local government administration, and with a firm heart of 일념통천 (One Thought Reaches Heaven), devote all our efforts to creating a new Hamyang that all citizens desire.”
