The awards were established by the Ministry of Data and Statistics to recognize institutions and individuals who successfully conducted four large-scale statistical surveys: the 2024 Basic Survey on Household and Housing, the 2025 Population and Housing Census and Census of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and the 2026 Economic Census.

Along with the institutional commendation, Yeoncheon County received a total of eight commendations: one civil servant and five survey workers received commendations from the Minister of Finance and Economy, and one survey worker received a commendation from the Minister of Data and Statistics.

The county was recognized for systematically supporting every stage of the surveys, including managing survey personnel and enumeration districts, assisting with fieldwork, and promoting public participation.

In particular, it worked to address the challenges of fieldwork by taking into account the characteristics of rural areas and established a cooperation system between survey workers and relevant organizations, helping improve the accuracy and reliability of statistical data.

The Population and Housing Census, Census of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and Economic Census are basic national statistics that provide information on the population, households, and housing, as well as the structure of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and industry. Their results are used as foundational data for policy development by the central and local governments and for regional development plans.

The county plans to continue strengthening its support system to produce accurate statistical data and improve survey quality.

Lee Hyunju, the county's planning and audit officer, said, "This achievement was made possible by survey workers who carried out their duties with a sense of responsibility despite difficult circumstances, and by county residents who actively cooperated. We will closely assess changes in the region and the needs of county residents based on accurate and reliable statistics, and pursue effective policies."
