The regular municipal briefing is a session designed to guarantee citizens' right to know and enhance administrative transparency by systematically conveying major issues and project progress by department.
In particular, the briefing will disclose the direction of municipal administration focusing on major projects and policies promoted by the relevant departments and solutions to residents' inconveniences, providing accurate information to citizens through the media.
During the briefing, key issues such as municipal promotion, audit administration, and permits were announced, and progress was shared. The municipal promotion plan, 2025 audit promotion direction, and improvement measures for farmland and building-related civil complaints were intensively addressed.
Pocheon City plans to strengthen communication with citizens by expanding regular municipal briefings and media center operations, as well as promoting various media education and external cooperation projects.
This year, 34 courses including video production, editing, and certification acquisition will be offered, along with the operation of the ‘Pocheon Dream Media Sharing School’ in cooperation with the Pocheon Office of Education. Additionally, the ‘Visiting Cinema’ program will be operated targeting areas where movie viewing is difficult, expanding opportunities for cultural enjoyment.
An audit plan for clean administration was also announced. Pocheon City intends to strengthen administrative transparency through comprehensive and special audits in 2025 and establish a citizen-centered audit system.
Through comprehensive audits of towns and townships and audits of affiliated institutions, administrative improvements will be encouraged. The city will operate the Clean Citizen Auditor system to support citizens in directly monitoring administration. Furthermore, policies to improve integrity will continue, including focused inspections of corruption-prone areas and the improvement of unreasonable regulations.
Alongside this, the update of farmland conversion and solutions for building-related civil complaints were also major agenda items. Pocheon City will take measures to update agricultural houses and facilities installed without farmland conversion permits before October 31, 1988, to protect residents' property rights.
Moreover, through education and promotion for town and township officials, the city will identify target farmlands and support residents in legally exercising their property rights.
To resolve building-related civil complaints, the city will operate a ‘Visiting Building Civil Service Office’ and provide ‘Free Building Consultations.’ These services will guide procedures for reporting and extending temporary agricultural structures, alleviating inconveniences for citizens visiting city hall from distant areas, and address citizens’ building-related inquiries through free consultations with architects.
Yoon Soong-jae, the Public Relations Officer, stated, “We will operate transparent municipal administration by communicating with citizens through open administration,” adding, “Through the regular briefing system, we will actively disclose policy implementation processes and major issues to citizens and conduct municipal administration that considers citizens’ concerns.”
Meanwhile, Pocheon City’s regular municipal briefings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month.
