Through the reallocation of functions and organizational reorganization, the county will enhance the professionalism and execution of its administration and strengthen public service delivery in ways that residents can truly feel.

Key changes include abolishing the existing Tourism and Education Division and establishing a Current Affairs Task Force and an Accounting Division.

Moreover, the current Planning and Budget Office will become the Planning Office, with innovation strategy functions transferred to the planning department. This office will consolidate responsibilities for establishing mid- to long-term visions, core projects, and the discovery of future growth drivers.

The current Innovation Strategy Office will be reorganized as the Audit and Public Relations Office, enhancing audit and public relations functions to improve trustworthiness and communication within county administration.

In the rural sector, the existing Rural Planning and Rural Development departments will be integrated into the newly created Regional Vitality Department.

To address youth independence and foundation building, the existing Population Office functions will be split into Population and Youth divisions, with dedicated Youth Affairs, Public Building Relocation, and Rental Housing teams established.

In addition, the existing Tax and Accounting Division will be divided into a Tax Division and an Accounting Division. With the introduction of the Accounting Division, the county intends to reduce the workload resulting from an enlarged organization and to enhance both professionalism and transparency in fiscal management.

The Culture, Public Relations, and Sports Division will transfer its public relations functions to the Audit and Public Relations Office, be renamed as the Culture and Sports Division, and establish a Life Sports team, thereby strengthening functions related to culture, sports, and the economy.

The Economic and Corporate Division will launch a Corporate Support SOS team to provide a dedicated channel for promptly addressing challenges faced by businesses and to create a business-friendly environment that attracts new investment.

The existing General Civil Petition Division will be renamed the "Customer Satisfaction Office." The county plans to build an administrative service system that not only ensures fast civil petition processing but also improves the friendliness and satisfaction levels of its services.

County Governor Cha Seokho stated, "This organizational restructuring serves as the foundation for realizing the vision of the 9th civil administration and for creating visible changes in administration that residents can experience in their daily lives," adding, "We will address the county's core tasks—including youth, housing, public building relocation, local vitality, and business support—with greater speed and a stronger sense of responsibility."

He continued, "Administrative organizations must constantly evolve to truly support the lives of our residents. Going forward, we will continue to operate our organization at the residents' level of expectation and maintain an administration that is field-oriented, to create a Greater Haman."

Meanwhile, the restructuring plan for Haman County will be finalized this week following deliberation and approval by the Haman County Council.

Administrative organizations must continually evolve to keep pace with changing times.

Attention is focusing on how effectively Haman County will translate this restructuring into real results in securing future growth engines and delivering resident-centric administration.
