Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Selects 4 Outstanding Public Officials for Proactive Administration

Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 26th that it has selected four 'Outstanding Public Officials for Proactive Administration' in the first half of this year.

Gwangsan-gu selected a total of four officials through the review and resolution of the Proactive Administration Support Committee: Jang Hwarim, administrative officer; Lee Myeongjin, head of the Parking Policy Team; Joo Chanwoo, administrative officer; and Lee Aejin, head of the Youth Vitality Team.

Jang Hwarim, who received the Grand Prize, played a major role in moving away from inspections focused on crackdowns and detections at environmental management sites by providing necessary information for emission facility management and introducing a mobile communication channel (KakaoTalk chatbot) that enables real-time one-on-one consultations.

For new and small-scale businesses, the ‘Environmental Doctor System’ was operated, where experts visit the sites to provide assistance. As a result, the violation rate of environmental management sites decreased by 26.5% compared to last year.

Lee Myeongjin, who was selected as the Excellence Award recipient, achieved results by activating shared parking lots and creating 45 temporary public parking lots to solve the shortage of parking spaces in the city center.

Through the enactment of the city’s first ‘Ordinance on Supporting Shared Parking Lots’ in Gwangju’s autonomous districts, a foundation was established to promote the sharing of parking spaces utilizing idle urban spaces.

Joo Chanwoo, administrative officer, and Lee Aejin, team leader, received the Encouragement Award.

Joo, the administrative officer, operated a ‘Mobile Welfare Counseling Office’ mainly targeting rental apartments in the area, providing welfare information to vulnerable groups and conducting one-on-one customized consultations, contributing to minimizing the occurrence of welfare blind spots.

Lee Aejin secured 1.02 billion KRW in national funds in the youth employment sector by being selected for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s community-led job project competition, and provided customized support programs for youth who had given up job searching through the establishment and operation of the Youth Challenge Support Center.

Gwangsan-gu plans to offer various benefits to outstanding public officials who have achieved results through proactive administration.
