The county announced the official launch of the Citizen Participation Sustainable Policy Advisory Committee to realize "the era of citizen sovereignty, fairness and integrity, and a new future for Shinan centered on the field."

The committee is a policy advisory body established based on the Local Autonomy Act and the Ordinance on the Establishment and Operation of the Shinan County Policy Advisory Committee. It is tasked with providing expert advice on key county policies and collecting opinions from the field.

The advisory committee operates with a total of six subcommittees, focusing on the core initiatives of the 9th term: ▲Rural Renaissance ▲Land and Maritime Transportation Innovation ▲Happy 100·Medical Welfare ▲High-Quality Stay-Type Tourism Development ▲New Renewable Energy Growth Engines, as well as a ▲Communication subcommittee to directly reflect voices from the field.

The committee plans to enhance the effectiveness and practicality of policies by including experts with extensive field experience, administrative specialists, communication experts, and representatives from towns and villages across a variety of sectors.

The committee will hold plenary meetings every month, while open policy meetings involving the county governor and public officials will be held every other month. In particular, all meetings will be broadcast live on YouTube, allowing any resident to directly observe the policy discussion process, thereby strengthening transparency and participation in administration.

Kim Taeseong, Governor of Shinan County, stated, "County administration must find its direction in the voices of the field and the residents," and added, "I hope the Citizen Participation Sustainable Policy Advisory Committee will serve as a reliable guide in resolving local issues and creating policies that residents can truly feel."

Meanwhile, Shinan plans to continue improving related ordinances and systems to realize citizen sovereignty administration, while also expanding various participatory administrative systems such as town hall meetings and communication-based work briefings.
