Hanam City Passes First Review of Excellent Public Service Design Project

[Suwon Ilbo=Eom In-yong] Hanam City announced on the 29th that following its passage of the first document review in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety-sponsored '2025 Public Service Design Support Project,' the second online review with public participation is being conducted on the 'Communication 24' website through August 4.

'Public Service Design' is a citizen-participation policy model in which citizens, public officials, and service designers participate together from the planning stage of public service policies to identify problems. This year, the city participated with the project 'A Project to Promote Bonding and Happiness Among Families with Disabilities.'

Over the past five months, the city formed a National Design Group with citizens to develop emotional support programs for families with disabilities, and conducted a total of 13 workshops together with the Planning and Coordination Division, the Elderly and Disabled Welfare Division, and the Hanam City Family Support Center for the Disabled to design customized services.

In particular, this project is significant in that it primarily addresses the emotional isolation of fathers with disabilities and non-disabled siblings left in policy blind spots, and designs customized programs to aid emotional recovery and mutual communication.

If selected as one of 23 excellent projects after the second online review, Hanam City will be chosen for the third consecutive year as an excellent public service design project, following '2023's 'Community Health Support Center Gamill: Where Our Families and Neighbors Come Together' and 2024's 'Hanam-style Urban Revitalization Project Dementia Patient Guardian 'Holding Hands Around the Neighborhood.''
