Hwaseong City Selects 'Top 10 City Policies of the Year'

Hwaseong City has selected the establishment of a village-level CCTV crime prevention network, independently built by residents of Yangam-myeon, as the most successful project among various city initiatives promoted throughout 2011.

In second place is the construction of a municipal daycare center through private resource linkage, promoted by the Women and Family Department. The Health Center, which became the first in Gyeonggi Province to establish and operate an Ecoland facility, secured third place.

On the 16th, Hwaseong City held the 'Top 10 City Policies of the Year' competition at the main auditorium of Hwaseong City Hall, targeting 15 city policy projects selected through the first round of screening.

The competition was based on citizen survey evaluation through the Hwaseong City Hall website and questionnaire surveys accounting for 40%, content review 50%, and presentation review 10%.

In particular, citizen survey evaluation was conducted from November 25 to December 9 targeting citizen evaluation panels, city council members, press correspondents, external experts, and public officials.

Additionally, content review was conducted based on five indicators: contribution to citizens' lives, contribution to city policy development, external ripple effect, implementation difficulty, and innovation.

A city official stated, "This was an opportunity to re-evaluate from the citizens' perspective the various policies promoted by each department over the year to serve citizens and improve quality of life," and added, "Through the competition, public officials had an opportunity to reaffirm their mindset as servants to the citizens."
