The Moon Jae-in administration plans to bring about big changes to the nation's management policies.
The long term goal is to create a government that's owned by the citizens.
Kim Mok-yeon reports.
At the first-ever Government Innovative Strategy meeting held at the Seoul Government Complex on Monday, the Moon Jae-in administration confirmed its plans to shift the government's pre-existing management method to a more public-centered one.
During his opening remarks, President Moon said the ultimate goal of the measures is for the government to recover its relationship with the public.
"The top objective of innovation under our government is, in short, to restore the fairness of public office and re-establish its relationship with the citizens."
The measures include increasing the number of high-ranking female workers to 10 percent in the senior executive service, 20 percent for executives of public institutions and 40 percent for governmental commissions.
The government also vowed to permanently operate the current Gwanghwamun 1st Street communication channel, where the public can raise their concerns over various policies through both online and offline methods.
It will also allow the public to make use of various facilities such as parking lots and seminar rooms in government buildings.
Some other key policies include measures to eliminate graft and corruption, and create a safe working environment where workers won't have to worry about sexual assaults.
The list was created by taking in ideas from public servants alongside more than 2,000 citizens who participated in an online forum over the past month.
Korea's Interior and Safety Minister Kim Boo-kyum, who introduced the overall direction of the plan, said that through the measures, the government seeks to increase the quality of life in Korea, and the level of trust in the government,... as well as reduce the nation's corruption level over the next 4 years.
The latest move comes as part of President Moon's New Year's pledge to change the current system in order to improve people's quality of life.
The government says that it plans to receive and establish detailed plans from related organizations by April and hold an overall evaluation if the plans have been put into action by the end of the year.
