2023 Gumi City Administration Operation and Policy Satisfaction Survey.

This survey was conducted to redefine the direction of city administration and reflect it in the establishment of next year’s work plan through a citizen perception survey on major city administration issues.

By age group, those in their 30s showed the highest satisfaction at 79.1% (8.4% very well, 70.7% well), followed by under 30 at 70.9%, 40s at 68.6%, 50s at 73%, and 60 and above at 75.7%.

Satisfaction among respondents with three or more children was also high at 77.8%, which is interpreted as satisfaction with policies aimed at making the city a good place to raise children, such as the opening of the 365 Pediatric and Adolescent Medical Center, expansion of benefits for multi-child families, and the opening of the Comprehensive Childcare Support Center.

By region, the northern area (Seonsan-eup, Goa-eup, Mueul-myeon, Okseong-myeon, Dogae-myeon) showed the highest satisfaction at 78.7%. This is seen as a result of generous efforts to innovate agriculture and improve rural living conditions, including the allocation of 148.3 billion KRW budget for agriculture and forestry due to the full-scale rural transformation in Gumi, the establishment of the Korea Food Research Institute Gyeongbuk Headquarters, and the relocation of one city hall bureau to the Seonsan branch office.

The fields with the most achievements in the past year were ‘Economy, Investment Attraction, and Jobs’ at 30.5%, followed by ‘Expansion of Citizen Convenience Facilities’ at 15.9%.

The recent selection of large national projects in the semiconductor and defense industries and Gumi’s role as the central city in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk New Airport economic zone are seen as fully reflecting citizens’ positive expectations in the economic sector. The high rating for the expansion of citizen convenience facilities is interpreted as reflecting the opening of the rear parking lot of Gumi Station and the Sinpyeong Market parking lot, the opening of the Geumosan local food direct store, the installation of sports facility kiosks and restroom improvements along the Nakdong River.

The top priorities for Gumi’s future development were ‘Economic Recovery’ such as attracting companies and expanding jobs at 55.5%, followed by ‘Convenient Transportation’ such as restructuring the public transportation system and expanding public parking lots at 23.4%.

Based on the survey results, the city plans to focus on areas with high policy awareness directly related to citizens’ livelihoods and steadily implement key policies.

The Gumi City Administration and Policy Satisfaction Survey was conducted from September 4 to 19 by a professional polling agency.
