This competition was established to discover active administration cases from various ministries, local governments, and public institutions in order to resolve public inconveniences and innovate public services, as well as to promote a culture of innovation within the public sector.

Busan Urban Corporation won the award for its case titled, 'Unexpected Retaining Wall Collapse, Now the Citizen Safety Manual Takes Responsibility.' In April, the corporation and Korea Electric Power Corporation (Gyeongnam Headquarters) signed a business agreement to address climate change and formed a collaborative task force to jointly develop a safety response manual for retaining walls.

The two organizations enhanced the manual's quality through joint inspections, workshops, and invited lectures. They also verified the checklist's applicability in the field by directly inspecting reinforced earth retaining walls for water leakage and soil loss at sites in Busan, Jeju, and other regions. The process of identifying practical improvement tasks and significantly strengthening the manual's implementation was highly praised.

Shin Changho, President of Busan Urban Corporation, stated, "It is meaningful that our efforts to prioritize citizen safety and respond to the climate crisis have been recognized," and added, "As a local public institution, we will play an even more active role in addressing the climate crisis."
