This forum was organized as part of an ongoing policy communication process to develop population policies together with citizens. Its purpose was to publicly share and explain how the opinions submitted by citizens at the large-scale forum in July have been reflected in municipal administration.


The event took the form of a "feedback talk show," in which the mayor personally explained the results of the review by sector, and the city's review of each proposal was transparently shared with citizens.


At the previous large-scale forum, citizens submitted a total of 411 opinions. The city organized these by removing duplicate or similar suggestions and those difficult to review administratively, ultimately deriving 37 key proposals.


Of these key proposals, 25 were already being implemented or scheduled for expansion by the city, and 9 were classified as requiring phased implementation. Additionally, 2 proposals required cooperation with related agencies, and 1 was already being addressed at the Gyeonggi Province level. This shows that most suggestions are being reviewed or promoted within the municipal administration or are being linked in various ways.



Baek Younghyun, Mayor of Pocheon, said, "The proposals submitted directly by citizens are serving as important standards in the actual policy review and implementation process. I would like to thank the citizens for their deep interest in municipal administration, and I will continue to prioritize the voices of citizens as we design the future of Pocheon together."
