Ulsan City Selects Winners of Regulatory Reform Idea Contest

Grand Prize: "Improving Regulations on Couple-Type Enshrinement Facilities at Ulsan Sky Park"

Ulsan City has selected a total of nine winning entries in its regulatory reform idea contest, which was held to reduce inconveniences for citizens and businesses.

The city held the contest from April 7 to May 23, accepting proposals from people nationwide and receiving a total of 97 submissions.

After an initial review for appropriateness (excluding non-regulatory or simple suggestions) and a second round of evaluation by a panel of regulatory reform committee members, the city ultimately selected nine entries: one grand prize, two excellence awards, and six encouragement awards.

The grand prize went to the proposal to "improve regulations on couple-type enshrinement facilities at Ulsan Sky Park."

This proposal suggested that, to promote the use of the burial site, the operating regulations for Ulsan Sky Park should either remove the "simultaneous enshrinement of couples" requirement for couple enshrinement or introduce a prior-use permit system.

The excellence awards were given to two proposals: one calling for clarification and improvement of parking fee reduction criteria for national merit recipients and others, and another requesting the unification of processing periods for flight approval and aerial photography applications to alleviate inconveniences for drone users.

In addition, six other proposals received encouragement awards, including the introduction of a unified renewal system for disabled parking permits and an automatic conversion system linked to vehicle numbers.

Ulsan City plans to improve proposals related to municipal ordinances through consultation with relevant departments, and to submit proposals related to national laws to central government ministries.

The awards ceremony will be held at 1:50 p.m. on July 22 in the Vice Mayor's Office on the 7th floor of the main building at City Hall, where the Ulsan Metropolitan Mayor's Award will be presented.

An official from Ulsan City stated, "We will continue to pursue regulatory reforms that citizens can truly feel, contributing to an improved quality of life."

In last year's first contest, two of the nine winning entries led to ordinance amendments, while seven were submitted to central government ministries.
