Lee Min-keun, the mayor of Ansan, expressed on the 27th, "I will listen on-site and create changes that residents can feel."
 
On this day, Mayor Lee visited Bon-o 2-dong, where he toured key locations with residents and gathered their opinions on everyday inconveniences and local issues.
 
The mayor continues his on-site communication efforts by directly visiting residents' living environments to address local concerns and hear their voices.
 
The 'Dialogue with Residents' event included Mayor Lee, relevant officials, local organization leaders, and residents.
 
Shifting away from the traditional approach of explaining policies to residents, the focus was on directly confirming the inconveniences they experience in their daily lives and collaboratively finding improvement directions.
 
The first stop was the Bon-o 2-dong public complex, which is set to open soon.
 
Mayor Lee carefully inspected the main facilities and interior spaces of the new building, ensuring that all necessary aspects for its operation and resident use were thoroughly checked.
 
In particular, he aimed to identify any potential concerns or inconveniences residents might face after the opening, ensuring accurate guidance can be provided.
 
Next, at Palkok Mountain Park, he toured the park with residents to identify everyday inconveniences.
 
Residents reported that the park's restrooms, exercise equipment, and benches are aging and suggested improvements to these facilities.
 
After listening to their explanations, Mayor Lee personally assessed the condition of the facilities and discussed maintenance plans and improvement measures with the responsible department to enhance resident convenience.

 


This on-site visit has been praised for demonstrating Mayor Lee's administrative philosophy of "listening to citizens' voices on-site and finding answers there."
 
Residents responded positively to the mayor's direct engagement in assessing facility conditions and listening to their concerns.
 
One resident remarked, "I have mentioned several times that the park facilities are old and inconvenient, but seeing the mayor come to the site and listen to our issues made it possible to convey what is inconvenient more effectively. I have high expectations because we confirmed the actual site together, not just through words."
 
Another resident stated, "Once the new complex opens, many residents will use it, so it is reassuring to see the mayor and officials inspecting the facilities beforehand. I hope they prepare carefully to ensure residents can use it conveniently."
 
Meanwhile, Mayor Lee Min-keun stated, "It was meaningful to hear and observe the inconveniences and desires of residents directly on-site. I will ensure that citizens' voices lead to real changes, not just words, by thoroughly examining the site."
 
He emphasized, "I will continue to communicate closely with residents and implement administration that allows citizens to feel changes in their daily lives."
