Namyangju City to Launch 'On-Site Mayor's Office' on 16th… Moving Administration Closer to Citizens

[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong Reporter] Namyangju City announced on the 13th that it will operate an 'On-Site Mayor's Office' starting from the 16th, beginning with Jinjop Eup and rotating through 16 eup, myeon, and dong districts within the city.

The On-Site Mayor's Office was established based on the principle of "Answers lie in the field, sovereignty lies with citizens," to reflect citizens' voices in municipal administration and find solutions to local issues at the on-site locations.

Mayor Choi Hyun-deok of Namyangju will work directly at eup and myeon offices every Tuesday and Thursday, spending the entire day there.

On operating days, the mayor will share status updates with eup and myeon staff and visit major project sites.

Following this, the mayor will hold events such as 'Meet the Mayor' and local resident discussion forums to directly hear citizens' requests and address concerns about their daily lives.

Regular mayoral duties will also be conducted on-site.

Rather than establishing a separate temporary office space, the on-site mayor's office will utilize existing eup and myeon offices to reduce unnecessary administrative procedures and narrow the gap between citizens and the administration.

The first schedule will take place at Jinjop Eup on the 16th.

Afterwards, the mayor will rotate through eup, myeon, and dong districts in order, examining regional issues and continuing on-site communication with citizens.

The city plans to actively reflect citizens' opinions and requests collected during these rotations in municipal administration through cooperation with relevant departments, working to realize citizen-centered governance that residents can directly experience.

Mayor Choi Hyun-deok said, "The On-Site Mayor's Office is a new form of communication in which administration reaches out to where citizens are," and added, "I will directly listen to citizens' voices in the field and swiftly reflect them in municipal administration to realize citizen-centered governance that residents can truly experience."
