The Policy Real-Name System is a system that records, manages, and discloses the real names of participants and the process of project implementation to enhance transparency and accountability of policies, in accordance with the 'Regulations on Administrative Efficiency and Promotion of Collaboration.'


The county discloses not only the related persons involved in the decision-making and execution of projects but also the project details and history.

The disclosed projects include ▲33 major county policies and pledge projects ▲22 projects with budgets exceeding 1 billion KRW ▲1 research service project over 50 million KRW ▲32 cases of enactment and revision of autonomous regulations related to many residents.


In 2023, Uiryeong-gun selected a record 88 cases and disclosed them through the county website. This is about twice the 46 cases from last year. Considering that the average annual disclosure cases of basic local governments is 32.5, Uiryeong-gun’s Policy Real-Name System performance is excellent.


In particular, many key county projects such as the establishment of the county crematorium and the creation of the Uiryeong 4·26 Memorial Park are included, reflecting the county’s strong will to secure transparency from the policy promotion stage.


Besides the projects subject to the Policy Real-Name System, the county operates the 'National Application Real-Name System' throughout the year, which accepts applications for projects that citizens want to be disclosed and discloses them after review.



County Governor Oh Tae-wan said, “Policies also leave names. Good policies remain and are remembered by people, and they should be praised by many.” He added, “Public officials are responsible persons. Uiryeong-gun’s declaration of the Policy Real-Name System is our collective will to take a step further toward responsible administration.”
