서울 영등포구(구청장 조유진)는 구청장 직통으로 개설한 '소통폰'으로 개통 100일 만에 3천건이 넘는 구민 의견이 접수돼 구정에 반영했다고 11일 밝혔다.

'소통폰'은 별도의 본인 인증이나 행정 절차 없이 전용 번호(010-6400-8450)로 문자 메시지를 보내면 구청장이 직접 내용을 확인 후 처리 결과를 안내하는 제도다.

8월 3일 개통 후 총 3천35건이 접수된 것으로 집계됐다.

하루 평균 30건의 문자가 접수되며 주민과 구청장 간 핫라인으로 자리 잡았다는 평가다.

접수된 문자를 유형별로 살펴보면 재개발·재건축, 가로경관, 도로·치수 등 도시·주택 분야가 전체의 40%가 넘는 1천241건으로 가장 많았다. 이어 교통·주차·안전 분야 613건, 보건·환경 분야 542건, 복지·일자리 분야 278건 등의 순이었다.

소통폰을 통해 들어온 민원 중에 당산역과 선유도역 인근 보도폭 개선, 가로등과 바닥 신호등 정비, 공원 내 고장 난 운동기구 수리 등 생활 현안이 해결됐으며 처리 주체가 불분명해 장기간 방치되던 민원들도 조치됐다고 구는 설명했다.

야간 차량 굉음으로 소음 방지 신호등을 요청했던 민원에 대해서는 구청장이 직접 전화를 걸어 실제 주민이 원한 건 '소음 방지 교통표지'라는 것을 파악해 즉시 조치하는 등 적극적인 소통으로 민원을 해결하고 있다고 구는 덧붙였다.

소통폰으 보행로 정비를 건의한 뒤 구청장 전화를 받았다는 한 주민은 "인공지능(AI) 자동 안내 음성인 줄 알고 놀랐다"며 "현장을 직접 챙기고 구청장이 전화해 결과를 알려주는 모습에서 행정에 대한 신뢰가 높아졌다"고 전했다.

조유진 구청장은 "구민과의 소통이 일상이 돼야 본분을 잊지 않는다"라며 "접수된 민원 데이터를 체계적으로 통계화해 정책에 적극 반영하고, 반복적으로 제기되는 사항은 제도 개선을 통해 해결책을 적극 모색하겠다"고 말했다.

Lee Yong-cheol, again in response to controversy over indictment cancellation, "Focus on finding the truth... I will watch the special prosecution" (comprehensive)

In addition, he stated that it is difficult to evaluate the special prosecution for fabricated indictments because it is the decision of the legislator.
