To promote proactive administration, the county introduced a "Proactive Administration Indemnity Officer," made it mandatory to provide legal support for proactive public officials, and expanded support to include retired officials, thereby establishing a system that allows public officials to perform their duties with confidence. In addition, to break down administrative silos and foster a culture of collaboration, the county selected collaboration teams and collaborative staff by town and township to spread the atmosphere of proactive administration.

Furthermore, various incentives such as the introduction of overseas training programs, operation of a proactive administration collaboration mileage system, awarding extra points in personnel evaluations, and increasing performance bonuses were provided to motivate public officials to practice proactive administration. In particular, the county focused on increasing residents' satisfaction and building consensus by introducing a new system for residents to directly recommend and vote for outstanding public officials.

The county's representative example of proactive administration was the operation of the "Nation's First 112 Handareum Line." This initiative established a public safety network in island areas without police officers and received high marks from the evaluation panel. The project was also recognized externally, winning the Excellence Award at the Jeollanam-do Proactive Administration Best Practices Contest in the second half of 2024.

County Governor Shin Woochul stated, "This achievement is the result of public officials breaking away from past practices and striving to establish a culture of proactive administration," and added, "We will continue to promote proactive administration that residents can truly experience."
