This year’s evaluation was conducted by receiving one outstanding eup, myeon, or dong recommendation from each of the 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do, followed by a first-round document review and a second-round case presentation review.

With this award, the city has achieved the Excellence Award for four consecutive years in the Jeollanam-do hosted ‘Field Administration Outstanding Eup, Myeon, and Dong Evaluation.’ Following Deokyeon-dong (Grand Prize) in 2019, Seomyeon (Excellence Award) in 2020, Haeryong-myeon (Excellence Award) in 2022, Byeollyang-myeon received the Excellence Award in 2023.

Byeollyang-myeon, selected as Suncheon City’s representative this year, received high praise for promoting various local festivals with voluntary participation of residents, small-scale resident wish projects, and warm neighbor-sharing volunteer activities through proactive administration.

In particular, the ‘Rice Field Art & Scarecrow Experience Event,’ hosted by the Byeollyang-myeon Residents’ Autonomy Committee with participation from about 200 residents and exhibiting over 500 scarecrows made by the residents themselves, was highly acclaimed not only for fostering community harmony but also as a model case of rural community activities.

An official from the myeon stated, “Thanks to the warm interest and participation of the residents, field administration was carried out smoothly, resulting in good achievements,” and added, “We will continue to strive to make Byeollyang-myeon a better place to live through ongoing resident communication and cooperation.”
