Citizens' Charter

The Meaning and History Behind Gimhae Citizens' Charter

Gimhae Citizens' Charter is a vision of the city that all citizens of Gimhae can be satisfied with. It was first launched in 1981 but there was a call for a new charter that embodies Gimhae's history and traditions, the efforts made today and the dreams for the future of the city. And in 2017, various opinions were collected from the citizens, experts and the city council. Then after amending an ordinance of the city of Gimhae in March, 2018, a new Gimhae Citizens' Charter was launched on the Gimhae Citizens' Day in May, 2018.
