Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il: "Civil servants' attitude of 'I will do it' is the manifestation of proactive administration"

Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il emphasized at an executive officials meeting held in the city hall video conference room on the 22nd that civil servants should actively step up with the attitude of "my work" rather than drawing boundaries between departments, and maintain emergency response systems for citizen safety during the Chuseok holiday period.

The mayor said, "What I always emphasize while running city administration is proactive administration," adding "It is naturally an ongoing process for departments and related agencies to coordinate and sufficiently discuss how to handle tasks when implementing new projects."

The mayor stated, "I hope each civil servant views new projects as 'my work' and actively takes the initiative," and added, "Rather than saying 'this work cannot be done,' 'I cannot do it' because there are existing tasks to handle, I ask that you approach new work with the attitude of 'I will do it. Instead, I would appreciate it if you could help with these aspects.'"

The mayor continued, "Please thoroughly re-examine the emergency response system so that citizens can safely and comfortably spend the holiday during the Chuseok break," and urged, "When emergency situations or citizen inconveniences occur, quickly grasp the situation and take necessary measures to minimize citizen inconvenience."

At the meeting on that day, the direction of the 'Yongin Central Market Activation Project' and 'Jung-ang-dong Urban Regeneration Project' to revitalize the area around Yongin Central Market were discussed as major agenda items, along with ways to stimulate the common people's economy before Chuseok.

Regarding the 'Yongin Central Market Activation Project,' ways to develop it into a 'stay-type tourist market' where visitors enjoy food, culture, performances, and night markets while staying longer were discussed, going beyond a simple market for buying and selling agricultural products.

The mayor said, "It is important that the central market activation plan leads to continuous development of the market rather than being a one-time event," and stated, "Please continuously research content that can showcase the central market's unique characteristics and practical activation plans while communicating sufficiently with merchants."

The city also reviewed the progress of the 'Jung-ang-dong Urban Regeneration Project' for central market activation. The city is pursuing major projects including the construction of a parking tower 'Smart Work Platform' to resolve parking issues for citizens using the central market, underground placement of utility poles and telephone poles, and creation of a market playground and water droplet fountain.

The city plans to organically link the Yongin Central Market Activation Project and the Jung-ang-dong Urban Regeneration Project to inject vitality into the central market and surrounding areas and enhance the competitiveness of local commerce.
