In the third year of the 8th elected term and the first year of the 2040 Gwangjin Re-creation, the survey was conducted to gather diverse opinions from residents and reflect them in district administration.
The survey was conducted from November to December last year, targeting 1,000 adult men and women aged 18 or older living in Gwangjin-gu through one-on-one face-to-face interviews. It was carried out by the professional polling agency Korea Gallup Research Institute, with a 95% confidence level and a sampling error of ±3.1%p.
In the evaluation of district administration, 61.1% of respondents answered that the administration is "doing well," while only 4.7% said it is "not doing well." This figure is similar to last year’s, indicating a continued positive evaluation of the 8th elected term’s administration.
The residential environment is gradually improving. Satisfaction increased by 3.9%p from last year to 78.8%. Notably, 93.7% of respondents said they want to live in Gwangjin-gu even five years from now, recognizing it as a good place to live.
The most satisfying policy areas were ▲cleaning and environment ▲parks and green spaces ▲safety ▲welfare ▲roads and traffic, in that order. The communication score also exceeded 70 points, receiving a satisfactory evaluation. Areas where Gwangjin-gu should focus include local economy, urban planning, and residential living environment, while necessary facilities were identified as parking facilities, cultural and sports facilities, parks and green spaces, and welfare facilities.
Additionally, the top 10 projects that contributed most to regional development and happiness promotion during the 8th elected term were selected. The six-day-a-week household waste collection system ranked first, expansion of leisure facilities in Achasan Mountain ranked second, and the establishment of the ‘2040 Gwangjin Re-creation Plan’ ranked third. Projects that directly help residents’ daily lives generally received high scores.

I thank all residents who have given us high evaluations.” He added, “This year is the first year of Gwangjin Re-creation. We will do our best to actively reflect residents’ opinions and thoughts in district administration and complete a happy Gwangjin that develops through communication.”
