Selected Cases of Active Administration in Guro-gu for the Second Half of the Year: Specialized Dental Care for Disabled, SNS Character Creation, and More...

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) is selecting outstanding cases of proactive administration in the second half of the year and providing incentives to foster a culture of proactive administration within the public service community.

Guro-gu selected 7 cases out of 13 projects that were promoted or completed in 2023 and showed achievements through the first round of document screening and employee and resident voting, and then finalized 5 cases through the second review by the Proactive Administration Committee.

Departments selected for outstanding cases will receive commendations and prize money, and employees will be granted special leave and prize money.

The top award-winning case is the project titled “Specialized Dental Care for Persons with Disabilities is Provided at the Disabled Dental Clinic.” The Medical Affairs Division provides more than 2,000 treatments annually, including nerve treatment and gum surgery, and over 1,000 on-site oral examinations for severely disabled individuals who find it difficult to receive treatment at general dental clinics. This project received the top award in the inequality alleviation category at the 2023 National Basic Local Government Manifesto Outstanding Case Competition and was selected for the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s “Walking Together with the Vulnerable” public contest.

The excellence awards went to “Dreaming of Becoming Guro-gu’s Representative Cutie! The Birth of Guro-gu Social Network Service Character!” and “Warm Companionship for Families with Deaf Parents and Hearing Children.”

The Public Relations Officer developed and operates a friendly image character independently, saving budget and achieving significant promotional effects. The Disability Welfare Division supported customized sign language education and counseling for households with deaf parents and hearing children under 18, contributing to family harmony.

The encouragement awards were given to “Self-Produced Consent Forms and Writing Guidelines to Guarantee Residents’ Right to Know” and “Creating a Warm Community Without Solitary Deaths: The ‘I Live Well Alone’ Project.”

The Housing Division created a unified form for remodeling housing cooperative project permits, which previously had different formats, and also established guidelines to make document preparation easier. In Guro 2-dong, programs related to health, diet, mental care, hobbies, and cultural experiences were conducted for households at risk of solitary death to prevent such incidents.

Guro-gu plans to submit the selected cases to the proactive administration outstanding case competitions hosted by central government ministries and the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

A Guro-gu official stated, “Incentives will also be provided to employees who requested proactive administration pre-consultations while carrying out their duties,” and added, “We will continue to encourage proactive administration to deliver tangible results that residents can feel.”
