Notable accomplishments were made in areas closely related to residents' daily lives, including ▲achievement rate of senior citizen job targets ▲establishment and operation performance of youth harmful environment monitoring systems ▲management rate of food poisoning occurrences ▲operation performance of smoking cessation clinics ▲per capita recyclable resource separation collection volume.

In terms of preparation and effort, the district also scored higher than last year. It received good scores across nine items, including ▲focused performance management through indicator formula analysis ▲progress report meetings ▲training for project managers ▲monitoring and discovery of best practices.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I am very pleased to have achieved the goals in indicators closely related to residents' lives. I also express my gratitude to the residents who have trusted the district administration and to the staff who worked hard in various fields.” He added, “We will continue to actively promote major national policies that residents can feel and respond with good results next year as well.”
