After a review process, the city finalized eight cases as outstanding examples, designating three as Excellent, three as Encouragement, and two as Effort grades.


The Excellent grade was awarded to: direct construction of roads and parks around new development sites; vehicle-based senior companion service; and the resolution of move-in delays at Gyeongnam Honorsville, along with the establishment of a management system to prevent poor construction in apartment building projects.


The case of "direct construction of roads and parks around new development sites" involved amending the "Yongin City Guidelines on the Installation of Entrusted Infrastructure Facilities" to address complaints caused by delays or poor construction of infrastructure such as parks and roads, which developers are responsible for installing around new development areas. By directly taking on and executing these projects, the city not only secured additional tax revenue but also improved the quality of infrastructure and ensured timely completion, thereby increasing resident satisfaction. This was highly praised.


The vehicle-based senior companion service is an elderly welfare initiative in which a companion manager accompanies seniors throughout their entire journey to and from hospitals or other destinations, assisting with tasks such as medical registration and payment, effectively acting in place of a guardian.


Yongin City also received the Excellent grade for its proactive intervention in resolving move-in delays at Yangji-myeon Gyeongnam Honorsville Apartments, which had been caused by construction defects, and for establishing a "Management System to Prevent Poor Construction in Apartment Building Projects."


For the Encouragement grade, the city selected: "To the World with Alibaba! Yongin Pavilion's Entry as the First Basic Local Government," "Resolving a Decade of Rowing Stadium Conflicts through Communication and Collaboration," and "Smart Banner Maintenance! Smiling Citizens on the Streets! Collection Volume Up 50 Times!"


The Effort grade was awarded to two cases: "Saving the Budget and Accelerating Opening by Integrating Interior Management at Dongbaek and Bojeong Comprehensive Welfare Centers," and "Launching the Georeoyong Walking App, Which Accumulates Walking Points and Converts Them to Local Currency."



Lee Sangil, Mayor of Yongin, stated, "I hope that these selected outstanding cases will lead to further proactive administration that benefits our citizens."
