Ulsan's Ulju County received an institutional commendation in recognition of its contributions to the smooth implementation of large-scale national statistical surveys and the collection of accurate statistical data.

Ulju County announced on November 12 that it had received an institutional commendation from the Minister of Finance and Economy in the "2026 Awards for Contributions to Large-Scale Statistical Surveys," organized by the Ministry of Data and Statistics. Thirteen county officials and survey workers also received individual commendations.

In the individual category, Kim Myeongseok, an official in the Planning and Budget Office, received a Prime Minister's Commendation, while Moon Hyeonggeun, head of the Self-Governing Administration Team in the General Affairs Division, received a Minister of Finance and Economy's Commendation. Eleven field survey workers also received commendations from the Minister of Finance and Economy and the Minister of Data and Statistics.

Starting with the 2024 Basic Survey of Housing Units, Ulju County successfully carried out major national statistical surveys, including last year's Population and Housing Census and Census of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, as well as this year's Economic Census.

In particular, the county focused on improving the accuracy and reliability of statistical data by systematically managing survey personnel to cover its extensive survey area, which accounts for more than 70% of Ulsan's total area, and by strengthening public outreach and support for field surveys.

Ulju County Governor Lee Sungeol said, "I thank the residents for cooperating with the national statistical surveys and everyone involved for doing their best in their respective roles. We will continue to carefully assess local issues based on reliable statistical data and implement policies that residents can see and feel the impact of."
