Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, Pledges to Do His Best in Implementing Citizen-Centered Projects through Proactive Administration

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) announced that it has selected five projects as the ‘2023 Second Half Active Administration Best Practices’ and chosen one outstanding public official and four excellent teams who made efforts to actively promote these projects.

The outstanding public official in active administration is a civil servant who creatively and professionally handled tasks to derive public benefits, such as improving unreasonable regulations. Mapo-gu selects excellent public officials every half year to encourage employees who work hard for the residents.

In particular, in the second half of 2023, Mapo-gu expanded support for employees practicing active administration by selecting excellent teams simultaneously with outstanding public officials.

To select the best practices, Mapo-gu received a total of seven project submissions through recommendations from residents and employees. After two rounds of practical reviews, evaluations by department heads, and the final review by the Active Administration Committee, five projects, one outstanding public official, and four excellent teams were finally selected.

The most notable best practice was the ‘Expansion of Cultural Nuri Card Usage at the Mapo Naru Salted Shrimp Festival.’ The Cultural Nuri Card, which is normally not allowed for use at festivals and events, was temporarily permitted for use at Mapo-gu’s representative festival, the Mapo Naru Salted Shrimp Festival.

The person in charge of this project was recognized for their contribution in increasing the usage rate of the Cultural Nuri Card through cooperation with related organizations and for efforts to support cultural life for the underprivileged, and was selected as the outstanding public official.

Additionally, four teams were recognized as excellent teams for active administration best practices for implementing projects such as the ‘Mapo User Guide Production,’ which compiles information on Mapo-gu’s public services, major facilities, and cultural and artistic events; ‘Mapo Reminder Call,’ which manages residents’ crisis situations; ‘Red Road Emotional Theme Street Creation’; and ‘Installation and Operation of Incineration Zero Shops at the Recycling Intermediate Treatment Plant.’

Mapo-gu plans to boost morale by awarding commendations from the mayor, bonus leave, priority selection for resorts, and other benefits to those responsible for active administration best practices.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “We will strengthen support so that public officials can practice active administration and widely share active administration cases to help the operation of the district government. Mapo-gu will continue to make every effort to promote projects that residents can feel and to achieve results through active administration.”
