Ulju-gun, Ulsan City recently held the 2023 Innovation Best Practices Competition and selected five outstanding cases.

On the 29th, Lee Soon-geol, the head of Ulju-gun, awarded certificates and prize money for the five innovation best practices at an awards ceremony held in the small conference room of the county office. This competition was promoted to achieve administrative innovation through discovering and sharing best practices and to encourage employees who contributed to innovation.

Since last month, a total of 16 cases were submitted from 11 departments, and after public evaluation on the National Idea Platform and deliberation by the County Administration Coordination Committee, five best practices were finally selected: one grand prize, two excellence awards, and two encouragement awards.

As a result of the evaluation, the grand prize was awarded to “Enjoying a Dignified Cherry Blossom Festival Free of Illegal Street Vendors.”

Crackdowns on illegal street vendors, which had been rampant every cherry blossom season for decades, improved the image of the Jakcheonjeong Cherry Blossom Festival and set an example for other local governments through principled administration, which was highly praised.

Two excellence awards were given to “Establishing a Village-Level Disaster Response Emergency System” that incorporated the latest technologies such as AIoT to enhance the speed and efficiency of relief during disasters, and “Installing a Public Restroom Safety Notification System” that uses a voice system to alert entry and proactively prevent crimes.

Two encouragement awards were given to “Super Easy Local Income Tax (Capital Gains Tax) Mobile Filing” and “Production of Radiation Disaster Prevention Education and Training Content Created by Residents.”

Lee Soon-geol, the head of Ulju-gun, said, “The various achievements discovered through this competition will be a valuable foundation for creating a happy Ulju,” and added, “Please continue to make steady efforts to achieve administrative innovation that truly resonates with the residents of Ulju-gun.”
