Mapo-gu, Significant Budget Savings from Sharing Administrative Assets like Trucks and Forklifts

Comprehensive Survey of Shareable Items Across All Departments, Business Offices, and Affiliated Organizations in the District... Over 3,000 Administrative Items Shared
District Mayor Park Gang-su: "Budget Savings from Sharing Will Be Actively Used for Projects Benefiting Residents"

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, is discussing budget-saving measures at the expanded executive meeting held in September.

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) is accelerating budget savings by establishing an 'Administrative Property Sharing System,' the first in a self-governing district to introduce the concept of 'sharing' into administrative assets.

In line with the current trend of borrowing and using shared resources such as shared parking lots and shared cars, the district has considered whether there is a way to share administrative assets that were previously purchased and used separately by each department and institution.

To this end, since August, Mapo-gu has conducted a full survey and cataloged shareable administrative items across all departments, including the Dong community centers, Mapo-gu business offices, and four affiliated organizations.

The survey identified a total of 83 shareable items, ranging from administrative vehicles such as trucks and forklifts to wheelchairs, large shredders, and audio-visual equipment, totaling 2,931 units.

The compiled list has been shared with all Mapo-gu affiliated institutions, and it specifies the owning department and the person in charge of management, making it easy to borrow items through inter-departmental consultation when needed.

With the establishment of this sharing system, the district expects not only a widespread awareness of the sharing culture in the public sector but also an improvement in the existing asset management method, which required each department to purchase and hold items even if usage was infrequent, thereby maximizing the efficiency of administrative property use.

Going forward, the district plans to carefully analyze and expand necessary items through quarterly sharing performance assessments and demand surveys, and next year, it aims to further activate the system by developing an electronic administrative property sharing system.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, stated, “The quality of life for residents is determined by how limited budgets are utilized,” adding, “Through rational and efficient administration via administrative property sharing, we will save budgets and actively use the saved funds for projects desired by residents, with all Mapo-gu employees working together to achieve this.”
