Commitment Description
What is the public problem that the commitment will address?
Shortly after the inauguration, the Moon administration took in policy proposals from citizens for 50 days (May 25 – July 12, 2017) by launching the Gwanghwamoon 1st Street, a communication channel, at Sejongno Park. Of 180,705 sets of idea collected through the Gwanghwamoon 1st Street, 1,718 were selected, and 99 of them were reflected to the Moon administration’s policy tasks. Indeed, this case showed the public’s drive for participation in policy making. Consequently, a sufficient channel that enables public access and actually facilitatescitizen participation needs to be built to respond to the skyrocketing demand amongst citizens for citizen participation such as opinion sharing, discussions and consultations.
What is the commitment?
The purpose of this commitment is to expand the on- and off-line public participation platform which boosts citizen participation and taps into the public’s collective intelligence in policy making. The primary content of the commitment is as follows: find topics for discussion such as chronic social problems and causes for inconvenience that affect people’s lives; operate a public platform for policy discussions to have the public’s input in the solution building process; provide integrated services to diversify channels of citizen participation in policy making through conneted participation channels of multiple organizations and providing a single point of access to relevant services.
How will the commitment contribute to solve the public problem?
The detailed implementation methods are as follows: 1) to operate an off-line open communication forum as a public policy discussion platform where citizens, experts and public servants discuss social issues closely related with people’s lives; to host open communication forums and policy conferences on a regular basis, thereby collecting policy suggestions and forwarding them to relevant offices so that they could be reflected in policy making; to send the forum outcome report to relevant ministries as an official document so that the ministries could collaborate through conducting follow-up meetings and discussions to reflect the outcomes in policy making; to share the entire process with the public through the “the Day of Citizen Participation“ ceremony and the publication of a white paper; 2) to provide O2O services via the online citizen participation platform (website); to re-launch the website, currently in provisional operation, as the online citizen participation platform, providing live video streaming of forums and a real-time comment feature during the later half of this year in connection with other citizen participation platforms such as People’s Idea Box, an online platform for policy proposals, and e-People officer; to bring about a paradigm shift in the government’s operation so that the public could transform social issues into policy agenda and work with the government to solve problems
