Jang'an District 2013 Field-Focused Administration 'Takes Off'

The new year of 2013 has dawned. Jang'an District (District Chief La Su-heung) has begun the new year with vigor, starting with open field-oriented administration alongside the Suwon mayor.

The district plans to build upon last year's achievements in communicative field administration by bringing government closer to residents and delivering field-oriented administration that moves the community. To this end, approximately 300 civil servants in the district will work directly on the ground and find answers in the field.

Aligned with residents' expectations, the district will identify and promptly resolve inconveniences in residents' daily lives and actively support village renaissance projects that are led by local residents, creating a venue where community members participate, communicate, and achieve harmony.

In particular, the district plans to implement distinctive projects to create participation, communication, and a vibrant Jang'an.

First, the district will promote multiculturalist family support projects together with the Saemaul Yeobuin Association. Building on last year's efforts, the district will expand opportunities for immigrant women to learn authentic Korean cooking, allowing them to experience Korean food firsthand and learn Korean culture to facilitate their faster adaptation to Korean society.

Additionally, to create a cultural street built by residents themselves, the district will launch a large-scale campaign to place flower pots in front of shops. The campaign to place flower pots in front of shops is expected to help create green spaces along roadsides as well as contribute to local economic revitalization through shop promotion effects.

In addition, the district will implement measures to address safety blind spots in our neighborhoods, including safety belt mapping, installation of safety mirrors, and composition of a public-private-police joint consultative body. The district also plans to promote warm welfare administration characterized by care and sharing by concluding agreements with hospitals and clinics within the district to provide free medical services to residents with mobility difficulties.
