Seoul's Mapo-gu district office said it will operate the "2026 Mapo-gu Proposal Program" throughout the year to incorporate ideas from residents and public officials into its policies.
Proposals will be accepted at any time through the e-People portal for residents and the administrative portal for public officials. Submissions will be evaluated based on creativity, efficiency, continuity, scope of application, and effort, with adoption determined accordingly.
Adopted proposals will receive prize money, including 1 million won ($690) for the gold prize, while public officials will also be given personnel benefits.
Last year, three out of 262 proposals were adopted, and the district plans to strengthen its efforts to identify ideas that are feasible and specific.
The district is particularly encouraging participation across a wide range of areas, from improving everyday inconveniences to enhancing administrative efficiency.
