Osan-si Selected as an 'Excellent Institution' in Local Government Innovation Evaluation

Osan City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 4th that it was selected as an "Excellent Institution," the highest grade, in the "2023 Local Government Innovation Evaluation" hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The Local Government Innovation Evaluation assesses 243 local governments nationwide based on 10 indicators across three categories: innovation capacity, innovation performance, and public perception. In this evaluation, the city received high scores in areas such as autonomous innovation, digital-based service innovation, user-centered public service improvement, and data-driven work efficiency.

Last year, the city operated the outdoor regular performance event "Day with Performances" to expand cultural enjoyment opportunities for culturally marginalized groups and held the "Osan City Christmas Market" to revitalize the local commercial district. It also implemented the "Sutokki Service" to prevent excessive water bills and the "Together on, Hope on" project to prevent isolation and solitary deaths among middle-aged and elderly citizens while establishing a user-centered integrated community care system.

Additionally, the city received high evaluations for citizen-centered policies and innovative administration, including improvements to the user-focused "National Happiness Civil Service Office," psychological and emotional support projects for abused children, and the promotion of a mobile healthcare outreach program, the city added.

Lee Gwon-jae, mayor of Osan City, said, "We will continue to implement innovative administration that citizens can genuinely feel to make Osan a comfortable and happy city for its residents."
