The evaluation criteria consist of four major areas: the completeness of the pledge implementation plan, the democracy of the pledge management system, transparency of pledge information, and the consistency between election pledges and the current pledge implementation plan.

Jangheung-gun received balanced scores across all evaluation criteria and was selected for the highest grade.

With the launch of the 8th term in July last year, Jangheung-gun set the goal of completing ‘Eomeoni Pum Jangheung’ and finalized pledges as detailed execution plans for this goal.

In the second half of 2022, based on the finalized pledges, the county established pledge implementation plans, operated a resident jury panel to gather citizens’ opinions, and made efforts to enhance the democracy of the pledge implementation process.

The 8th term pledges of Jangheung-gun consist of a total of 73 items across five areas, including the ‘Opening of the 700 billion won budget era.’

The county is making efforts to fulfill its promises to citizens by establishing detailed plans for completing necessary preliminary procedures and securing national and provincial funds, as well as conducting regular progress checks.

County Governor Kim Seong said, “The 8th term pledges are a promise to the citizens and a roadmap to complete ‘Eomeoni Pum Jangheung.’ We will focus the county administration’s capabilities on successfully implementing the pledges to bring about change and development in Jangheung.”

Meanwhile, the county plans to regularly disclose the progress of pledge projects and promote an administration that communicates with its citizens.
