This evaluation, which is linked to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's "Comprehensive Evaluation of Civil Service," comprehensively reviews improvements to civil affairs systems and the quality of services. Winning the award consecutively is seen as evidence of the county's substantial administrative innovation.

This year's evaluation covered a total of eight categories, and Uiseong County demonstrated consistently strong performance across all indicators.

In particular, the county was highly praised for its practical, on-site improvements, including strict compliance with statutory civil service processing periods, streamlining of official seal certificate requirements, enhanced courtesy training for all staff, operation of psychological recovery programs for civil affairs officers, and the establishment of a safe environment in the civil affairs office.

Uiseong County has continuously worked to strengthen the overall quality of its civil affairs environment, aiming not only for efficient processing but also for a "civil affairs office that is safe and comfortable for both residents and public officials." This commitment was reflected in the high level of trust shown in this year's evaluation.

Governor Kim Jusu of Uiseong County stated, "Civil affairs are the gateway through which residents first encounter public services," adding, "We will continue to provide administration that is friendly, prompt, and fair-something residents can truly experience firsthand."

Uiseong County's consecutive awards are regarded as a prime example of how refining the fundamentals of administrative services and accumulating small improvements can lead to significant change. It reaffirms that the competitiveness of local administration ultimately enhances the quality of daily life for residents.
