Busan Gijang-gun Achieves Top Grade in Integrity Perception for 2 Consecutive Years... The Fruit of 'Integrity No.1 Gijang'

Results of Intensive and Strong Anti-Corruption Measures

Busan Gijang-gun (Governor Jeong Jong-bok) recently achieved a first-grade rating in integrity perception for the second consecutive year in the ‘2024 Public Institution Comprehensive Integrity Evaluation’ conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

According to the survey results announced by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission on the 19th, Gijang-gun received a first-grade rating in integrity perception, a third-grade rating in integrity effort, and an overall second-grade rating in comprehensive integrity.

Among these, ‘integrity perception’ is measured through surveys on corruption awareness and experience targeting civil petitioners and internal employees who have experienced the county’s services. Gijang-gun scored 81.3 points, which is 8 points higher than the average score of the basic local government (county) group.

In particular, both external and internal perception scores were 8 points higher compared to other basic local governments (counties), indicating that the county’s focused and strong anti-corruption measures have borne fruit.

Additionally, ‘integrity effort’ evaluates the performance and policy effectiveness of local governments’ anti-corruption initiatives. The county received a high evaluation by scoring 100 points in the detailed area of ‘establishment and foundation of anti-corruption promotion plans.’

Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, “Integrity is the foundation of administration and an important element in building trust. We will foster a more transparent public service culture and provide trustworthy administration to our residents.”

For transparent administration, Gijang-gun is making various efforts to become the ‘Integrity No.1 Zone’ by operating ▲ an integrity suggestion box to eradicate public officials’ improprieties and unfair administration ▲ the Integrity Citizen Auditor System ▲ and integrity culture experience education programs with the governor.
