Suwon Designated as Top-Rated Local Government in Ministry of Interior and Safety's Shared Asset Management Evaluation

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City was selected as the top-rated local government in the Ministry of Interior and Safety's "2024 Shared Asset Management Analysis and Diagnostic Evaluation," securing 40 million won in special grant transfers, the city announced on the 24th.

The Ministry of Interior and Safety analyzed and diagnosed the status of shared asset management and utilization of local governments nationwide, comprehensively evaluating the appropriateness of shared asset management plans, computerization and maintenance of shared asset registers and registrations (comprehensive survey), appropriateness of management including rental fees and compensation charges collection, and efforts to increase revenue, among other factors, to select outstanding local governments.

Suwon was also selected for the "Excellence Award (Minister of Interior and Safety Award)" at the presentation of the "2024 National Local Government Shared Asset Management and Utilization Best Practices Competition" held by the Ministry of Interior and Safety on October 21st at the Central Building of the Government Complex Sejong, where the city was recognized for establishing a comprehensive shared asset operation system and achieving efficient and systematic management results.

To address problems arising from shared asset management, the city newly established an integrated team and changed shared asset surveys from individual departmental methods to a comprehensive execution system. The city also conducted a general overhaul to prevent omissions and ensure accuracy of shared asset information and introduced a system for real-time monitoring of land movement changes.

The city launched a visualization dashboard to view shared assets at a glance and shared shared asset information with all staff through a spatial information integrated platform. Additionally, the city converted the previously scattered shared asset management system across departments from a departmental operation method to a comprehensive approach, thereby increasing the utilization of administrative assets.

Suwon's best practices are scheduled to be included in a best practices collection to be published by the Ministry of Interior and Safety.

Mayor Lee Jae-joon of Suwon said, "Suwon has received excellent evaluations through proactive administrative handling in the shared asset field and has been selected as the top-rated local government," adding, "We will do our best in shared asset management by systematically managing shared assets and actively seeking utilization plans for idle assets."
