In particular, Yeongam-gun set up a temporary statistical situation room in Samho-eup, where businesses are densely located, to enhance the convenience and efficiency of the statistical survey, and received high scores for achieving a 100% response rate through accurate analysis of inactive businesses.

Every year, Yeongam-gun conducts a business survey investigating 10 items such as the name, organizational form, number of employees, and annual sales of all businesses with one or more employees, reflecting the results in county policy formulation and evaluation, and providing them for business management planning and academic research.

The results of such small-area unit business surveys are highly useful as they are utilized as basic data for regionally tailored development and planning and for estimating regional income (GRDP).

A county official stated, “This award was possible thanks to the active cooperation and participation of business stakeholders,” and added, “We will continue to collect accurate data by utilizing various statistical surveys and use it for regional development and the convenience of local residents.”
