Suwon City Holds Online Citizen Voting for Second-Half Proactive Administration Excellence Cases

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City will hold an online citizen voting on "2020 Second-Half Proactive Administration Excellence Cases" from October 8 to 14.

Ten cases selected through the first-round written review by a panel of judges composed of citizens and public officials are candidates. Citizens can vote on the Suwon City website (https://www.suwon.go.kr) by clicking the "Suwon Citizens' Square" banner and then going to the "Surveys" bulletin board and "2020 Proactive Administration Excellence Case Selection Voting." Anyone can participate.

Among the 47 excellence cases submitted by various departments, 10 cases were selected as candidates, including "Korea's First Cloud-Based Non-face-to-face Ontact Smart Market Platform Service," "Promoting Good Donation Movement Including My Life's First Disaster Basic Income," and "Operating Quarantine Accommodations for Families of Overseas Visitors to Prevent COVID-19 Spread."

The final third-round review candidates will be selected by combining the scores from the first review (70%) and second-round online voting (30%). Award grades will be determined through a third review by the "Proactive Administration Support Committee."

One department each for Best Award, Excellence Award, and Commendation Award will be selected, and commendations and prize money will be presented in November. Departments receiving Merit Awards (2 departments) will only receive prize money. In addition, six public officials (individuals) will be selected to receive "Commendation for Proactive Administration Services," and personnel evaluation points will be awarded.

"Proactive administration" refers to "the conduct of civil servants actively handling tasks based on creativity and expertise for the public interest, such as improving unreasonable regulations."

"Passive administration," the opposite concept of proactive administration, refers to "the conduct of civil servants infringing on citizens' rights or causing financial losses to the state or local governments through passive work attitudes such as inaction or neglect of duty."

Meanwhile, the city recently published an "Excellent Cases of Proactive Administration" compilation introducing recent excellence cases.

The compilation includes 18 excellence cases such as ▲Creating standards for infectious disease response at local government level! ▲Korea's First Construction and Operation of Priority Signal System (Center Method) for Emergency Vehicles ▲Manufacturing and Distribution of Cheonma Masks to Overcome COVID-19 ▲Improving Working Conditions for Household Waste Collection and Transportation Workers ▲Building Suwon-Customized Hydrogen Economy Ecosystem ▲Activating Mobile Regulatory Reform Reporting Centers.

The compilation includes policy promotion backgrounds, implementation details, major achievements, and interviews with policy implementation managers. It also contains explanations of the concepts of proactive and passive administration, Suwon City's efforts to eliminate passive administration, and the proactive administration support system.

The "Excellent Cases of Proactive Administration" compilation can be viewed on the city website under "Regulatory Reform and Proactive Administration" -> "Proactive Administration Announcements" bulletin board.
