Yangju City Completes Foundation for 'Civil Complaint Call Center' for Communication with Citizens... Must be Reviewed from a Public Service Perspective
Yangju City is accelerating the establishment of a 'Civil Complaint Call Center' to improve citizen convenience.
[Break News Yangju=Kim Wan-young] On the 6th, Yangju City, Gyeonggi Province, held a completion report on the 'Basic Plan for the Establishment of a Yangju City Civil Complaint Call Center' project in the city hall situation room, attended by Mayor Kang Soo-hyun and approximately 40 senior officials.
This project aimed to establish a call center operation model optimized for the city's administrative environment and to introduce efficient systems.
According to the results of the project, the newly established Yangju City Civil Complaint Call Center will operate as a 'one-stop' system, receiving all civil complaints through a dedicated main number and promptly resolving simple and repetitive inquiries with professional counselors.
In particular, the city plans to gradually introduce AI-based consultation systems, including STT (voice-to-text) and chatbots, to provide high-quality consultation services. This is expected to improve the accuracy of civil complaint processing and reduce citizen waiting times.
The call center is expected to cost approximately 2 billion won, including 1.3 billion won in construction costs, 600 million won in personnel costs, and 100 million won in maintenance costs. The city plans to secure space and begin operations soon.
According to an official working at the Seoul City Dasan Call Center, "The Seoul City 120 Dasan Call Center was initially operated through a private outsourcing model. However, due to the instability of non-regular employment, corporate profits, and value-added tax, counselor salaries have declined, and turnover rates have increased. Furthermore, with private companies being replaced every two to three years, ensuring the expertise and continuity of administrative services has become a major challenge. If establishing a separate foundation for public services is more difficult than outsourcing, entrusting the service to the Yangju Urban Development Corporation will be a future challenge, ensuring the public's continued access to know-how and information resources."
Yangju Mayor Kang Soo-hyun stated, "Based on the results of this survey, we will strive to establish a civil complaint call center optimized for Yangju City. By listening to the diverse voices of citizens and responding promptly and accurately, we will strive to make Yangju City a 'high-quality, livable city.'"
