On the 12th, Gumi City in Gyeongbuk received the Excellence Award at the ‘2022 Government Joint Evaluation (City and County Evaluation)’ conducted by Gyeongbuk Province at the provincial government multipurpose hall.

The Government Joint Evaluation (City and County Evaluation) is a system established under the Government Work Evaluation Basic Act to comprehensively assess the administrative capabilities of 23 cities and counties in Gyeongbuk Province every year, ensuring efficiency, accountability, and integration in national and provincial administration.

This evaluation was conducted by dividing the performance of the past year into quantitative and qualitative assessments across a total of 98 indicators: 86 government joint evaluation indicators and 12 key policy indicators independently developed by the province.

Since the evaluation began in 2010, Gumi City achieved its highest-ever ranking by placing 2nd among cities for the first time, securing 80 million KRW in prize money and 10 million KRW in rewards.

The city has made year-round efforts to achieve all indicator targets and improve city and county evaluation results. By reflecting the city and county evaluation indicators in the performance management department evaluation, it garnered interest and cooperation from departments, and conducted focused management through monthly performance checks, three progress report meetings to discuss issues and countermeasures, and individual interviews for underperforming indicators.

As a result, six indicators that were underperforming in 2021, such as the priority purchase rate of new technology products and the number of pre-consulting audits, achieved their targets in 2022, increasing the indicator achievement rate compared to the previous year and driving performance improvement.

In particular, among the qualitative indicators, the ‘Promotion of Reading Culture and Library Specialization’ indicator cited excellent cases such as local author special lectures held at neighborhood bookstores, the creation of the ‘Reading Geumridan-gil’ themed book caf?, and under the ‘Spread of Veterans’ Spirit’ indicator, the publication of the Gumi Independence Movement history booklet and the holding of citizen report meetings.

Mayor Kim Jang-ho said, “This award is the result of the concerted efforts of over 1,800 public officials who broke away from existing practices and achieved innovation across all administrative fields over the past year. We will continue to focus our capabilities on providing administrative services that satisfy citizens based on administrative innovation.”
