[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Joon-sung] Suwon Special City has been selected as 1st place in the '2025 Policy Proposal Activation Excellent City/County Evaluation' hosted by Gyeonggi Province. This achievement comes following the receipt of the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award in the '2025 Policy Proposal Activation Excellent Organization Evaluation' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, marking a double crown achievement.

In Gyeonggi Province's policy proposal activation evaluation, Suwon City scored 99.4 points, ranking 1st among 31 cities and counties in Gyeonggi Province. Gyeonggi Province conducted a comprehensive evaluation combining quantitative assessment (50%) including proposal reception volume and adoption rate, as well as qualitative assessment (50%) including public relations and education efforts for proposal activation.

The city rapidly received and reviewed 488 proposals. It adopted 84 proposals and implemented 51 of them, improving quantitative indicators and substantively operating the proposal system by holding 4 proposal review committee meetings.

For civil servants, the city activated proposals by holding contests including the 'Insightful Policy Proposal Contest' and 'Empathy × Tomorrow Policy Proposal Challenge'.

In particular, the city received high evaluation for motivating proposal implementation within the civil service by awarding active administration mileage to civil servants who submitted proposals or whose proposals were adopted, and providing special leave to contest award winners.

The city also received praise for reflecting citizen proposals into policies through the mobile civic participation platform 'Saebit Talk Talk', and for increasing citizen understanding and encouraging participation by producing news cards featuring excellent citizen proposal cases and policy maps.

The city expanded proposal culture by operating the policy proposal program 'We Want to Participate Too' linked with elementary school curricula, and offering major-specific policy proposal classes for university students.

A city official stated, "The 1st place ranking in Gyeonggi Province's policy proposal activation evaluation is a result of our consistent efforts to activate the proposal system so that diverse citizen proposals are reflected as policies," and added, "Going forward, we will more substantively operate the proposal system to ensure that citizen ideas are actively reflected in city administration."
