[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] Residents near the Hanjin CY site development plan, which introduced the 'Pre-Negotiation System' for the first time in Busan, have raised objections.

The 'Hanjin Site Negotiation Committee,' composed of residents of the Centum e-Pyeonhansesang Apartments located near the Hanjin CY site, held a press conference on the morning of the 7th at the City Council briefing room and announced their opposition to changing the Hanjin CY site, a semi-industrial area, to a commercial area through the Pre-Negotiation System.

The committee stated, "It is unfair to develop only the Hanjin CY site, located between the semi-industrial Centum e-Pyeonhansesang and the vehicle inspection center, into a commercial area," and added, "Developing a high-rise residential area in front of a 22-story apartment is a selfish change of land use."

They also pointed out, "According to the plan, four high-rise residential buildings and three residence hotels will be constructed, effectively creating a high-rise apartment complex, which infringes on the sunlight rights, educational rights, and views of neighboring residents."

The committee further demanded, "The fact that there is no procedure to collect opinions and demands from local residents in the adjustment council meetings reflects only the interests of private businesses," and insisted, "Local residents should be included in the council to share their opinions even at this stage."

The Pre-Negotiation System is a system where, when developing idle land of 5,000㎡ or more or large-scale facility relocation sites within urban areas, Busan City, private proposers, and external experts collectively negotiate and decide on changes in land use zones and acceptance of development plans.
