A survey was carried out among public officials at Gangneung Community Health Center, South Korea, to classify the 49 selected Q-statements into a normal distribution using a 11 point scale. The collected data was analyzed using QUANL program, and principal component factor analysis using varimax rotation was used to identify public officials' perceptions of improving quality of health care for local communities as a meaningful service provider. Type I can be categorized by a strong concern for the service acceptance, Type II can be categorized by advocating for service usability, Type III can be categorized by the pursuit of service specialization, Type IV can be categorized by roles for service accessibility, and Type V can be categorized by the suggestions for operation and management.
