[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-gwon] Namwon City, Jeollabuk-do (Mayor Lee Hwan-joo) announced on the 17th that it has secured 1.148 billion KRW in national funds through the 2022 cadastral resurvey project, established an implementation plan, and will actively promote the project for 5,835 land parcels across 18 villages in 4 districts.
The project districts to be promoted next year are Geumji 1 District in Geumji-myeon (Jangseung, Geumpyeong, Hwanggu villages in Sinwol-ri; Hado, Yongjeon villages in Hado-ri), Ipam District in Daegang-myeon (Ipam village in Ipam-ri), Sandong 1 District in Sandong-myeon (Pyeongseon, Deunggu, Daechon villages in Daegi-ri; Daesang, Sangsin villages in Daesang-ri), and Ibaek 1 District in Ibaek-myeon (Cheokdong, Paemun villages in Cheokmun-ri; Naedong, Oedong villages in Naedong-ri; Pyeongchon village in Pyeongchon-ri; Gwaryeop, Ipchon villages in Gwaryeop-ri).
The cadastral resurvey project is a long-term national project (2012?2030) that corrects discrepancies between cadastral maps and actual land conditions by rectifying registered details such as boundaries and areas in cadastral records for cadastral inconsistencies. It also converts cadastral data, which was recorded on paper during the Japanese colonial cadastral survey over 100 years ago, into digital cadastral data, thereby enabling efficient national land management and contributing to the protection of citizens’ property rights.
Through the cadastral resurvey, the city corrects cases where fences or buildings on cadastral maps encroach on others’ land, reducing costs such as cadastral surveying fees, ownership transfer expenses, capital gains tax, and litigation costs.
By straightening irregularly shaped land, the project increases land value, resolves ‘maengji’ (landlocked parcels without road access), secures land for residents’ priority projects such as village road construction or expansion, and thereby significantly contributes to regional economic development through enhanced land ownership exercise and utilization.
After establishing the implementation plan, the city will send the plan to landowners in the project districts, conduct a public inspection and announcement for more than 30 days, and hold a non-face-to-face residents’ briefing session via the Namwon City website to explain the project’s purpose and procedures and collect residents’ opinions.
In particular, since the designation of the project district requires the consent of more than two-thirds of the landowners and area, efforts will be made to secure residents’ consent forms.
A city official stated, “This project will resolve boundary disputes among neighbors and enable rational and efficient land use. We will move swiftly during project implementation and actively communicate with local residents to reflect landowners’ opinions as much as possible to maximize project effectiveness.”
