Last year, Dalseo District won the Grand Prize in the Environment and Climate category at the inaugural event. This year, by once again claiming the top honor in the Smart City category, Dalseo District has demonstrated the competitiveness of its media-based public relations administration.

Dalseo District has been consistently producing a variety of content featuring key policy visions such as carbon neutrality, green and smart administration, and marriage-friendly policies through its official YouTube channel, “Dalseo TV,” thereby strengthening communication with residents.

In particular, Dalseo District’s achievement of being the first among basic local governments in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province to receive “Smart City” certification from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2022, and its recertification in 2024, was highly praised as the policy foundation that established Dalseo as a leading city in smart administration.

It is analyzed that the district’s efforts to actively communicate these achievements with citizens through video content were comprehensively reflected in the award. Mayor Lee Taehoon stated, “It is very meaningful to receive the Grand Prize at the Korea Local Government Public Relations Awards for two consecutive years,” and added, “We will continue to strengthen creative public relations strategies using new media platforms to effectively communicate Dalseo District’s policy values and vision, and to build a ‘Hopeful Dalseo’ that is a great place to live.”
