Mayor Park Seung-won of Gwangmyeong: "Residents' Voices are the Compass of City Administration"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yoo Je-sung] Mayor Park Seung-won of Gwangmyeong is pursuing on-site communication administration by directly visiting residents' living spaces to hear their voices.

Mayor Park held a time of communication with about 200 residents at Gwangmyeong Central I'Park on the 7th through this year's first citizen engagement program 'Very Precious Day of Meeting (hereinafter ASAHA)'.

'ASAHA' is Gwangmyeong City's representative life-focused communication program where the mayor and city administration directly visit citizens' living spaces for citizens who find it difficult to participate in city affairs due to busy daily lives.

The event was organized to hear the vivid voices of residents of Gwangmyeong Central I'Park (4R), where community formation is beginning with recent move-ins.

On this day, Mayor Park freely exchanged opinions with residents and directly responded to various requests regarding living inconveniences and local issues.

One resident requested the establishment of safety measures for pedestrian safety, noting that the area around the construction site is a section with heavy pedestrian traffic.

In response, Mayor Park said, "Since safety issues around construction sites are directly connected to residents' daily lives, I will strengthen on-site inspections and implement necessary safety measures."

Another resident mentioned the problem of illegal parking on the roadside near Gwangmyeong Market and suggested strengthening enforcement.

Mayor Park explained, "For sections where resident inconvenience persists, I will check the on-site situation and actively review enforcement and management measures."

Various opinions followed on improving local living environments, including △prompt advancement of small parks in District 4 △opening two-way traffic on Gwangi Road, and Mayor Park stated he would actively review solutions with relevant departments.

The event featured a performance by the Gwangmyeong City Choir, and nine administrative service booths including △legal consultation △health checks △carbon-neutral board games △noise prevention experience activities were set up. Residents obtained information necessary for their lives and participated in various experience programs while sharing time for communication.

The city plans to review the requests received on this day with relevant departments and promptly process them, and will inform citizens of the processing results.

Mayor Park Seung-won said, "The voices of residents who have begun their lives in their new homes are the compass of city administration that makes Gwangmyeong a better city to live in. Through on-site communication administration where I walk alongside citizens, I will complete a daily life where living in Gwangmyeong becomes a source of pride and each tomorrow is more anticipated than today."
