From now on, the allowable margin of error for cadastral surveys conducted to confirm land boundaries or for various permits will be reduced by up to 60cm.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will promulgate a partial amendment to the "Cadastral Survey Enforcement Rules" and the "Cadastral Work Processing Regulations" on the 26th. The enforcement date is set for March next year.

The amendment sets the allowable error for cadastral surveys to be between 24 and 120cm. Previously, it was 36 to 180cm, reducing the margin of error by 12 to 60cm. This improvement is a result of increased survey accuracy due to the digitization of equipment such as electronic maps and surveying software (S/W).

Additionally, the amendment requires not only the client but also adjacent landowners to participate in cadastral survey sites to help prevent disputes. Through this amendment, all surveys are institutionalized to investigate and confirm the survey history and results of the target land and adjacent lands.

Furthermore, the cadastral work processing regulations have been revised to clarify the methods and result documentation when using satellites and drones for surveying.

Park Geon-su, Director of the Land Information Policy Division at the Ministry of Land, said, "This institutional improvement is significant as it establishes a foundation for reducing allowable errors to ensure consistency and accuracy in cadastral surveys and for the introduction, utilization, and expansion of new technologies such as drones." He added, "We will improve the cadastral survey system through the collection of diverse opinions."
