This awards ceremony is jointly organized by the Local Era Committee and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology Planning and Evaluation, and is held annually to select outstanding cases of balanced regional development from local governments across the country and to share their achievements.

Yeoncheon County was selected as an outstanding local government for its "Jaein Waterfall Park Riverside Observation Deck Installation Project," which was promoted as a special situation area development project. The project was highly praised for harmonizing the conservation and utilization of ecological and geological resources, increasing the resident population through regional branding, and contributing to revitalizing the local economy.

In particular, Yeoncheon County was recognized as an exemplary case for developing the natural and cultural assets around Jaein Waterfall into high value-added tourism content, and for strengthening connections with the Hantangang UNESCO Global Geopark to establish a sustainable tourism ecosystem.

A Yeoncheon County official stated, "This award is the result of our continuous efforts to turn the county's potential into a driving force for regional development," adding, "We will continue to actively promote balanced development projects tailored to our region's characteristics to create tangible changes and results that residents can feel."

With this award as a momentum, Yeoncheon County plans to continue pursuing various policies for regional development, such as upgrading the tourism infrastructure in the Jaein Waterfall area and expanding UNESCO-linked programs.
