This evaluation covered 226 local governments nationwide and assessed five areas: completion of pledges, achievement of pledge goals, communication with residents, web communication, and consistency of pledges. Only local governments that scored 83 points or higher out of 100 were awarded the 'SA' grade.

Seocho District has actively promoted transparent communication with residents by openly disclosing pledge implementation plans and quarterly results on its website, operating a resident policy evaluation group, and strengthening web-based communication. Major pledges include the three-dimensional development of the Gyeongbu Expressway, construction of the Yangjae public parking lot, expansion of intelligent CCTV, renovation projects for Banpocheon, Yangjaecheon, and Yeouicheon, creation of the Yangjae AI Future Convergence Innovation District, and expansion of support policies for single-person households.

Seocho District Mayor Jeon Sungsoo stated, "We will continue to sincerely listen to the voices of our residents and pursue a responsive administration that seeks practical solutions on the ground."
