Yeosu-si Promotes Comprehensive Update of 'Nongjiwonbu' Records

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) is promoting a comprehensive revision of the Nongjiwonbu (Farm Land Register) by the end of 2021 to update the management of farmland ownership and usage status.

The Nongjiwonbu is intended to grasp the status of farmland, ownership, and usage, and to utilize this as administrative data. It consists of general information about the farm household head, farm household members, status of owned farmland, and status of leased farmland.

The city plans to prioritize the revision of 3,874 Nongjiwonbu cases where the farmland location and the address of the subject differ, and 1,894 cases of elderly farmers whose farmland location and address are the same or adjacent.

The revision process involves comparing and analyzing the Nongjiwonbu with agricultural management entity registration information, land registers, and other data. If discrepancies are found, on-site visits will be conducted to verify the facts.

Particular focus will be placed on inspecting ownership and lease information of farmland.

If information is unclear during the revision process or inconsistent with the management entity registration information of the subject, the case will be included in the farmland usage status survey scheduled for September to November, ensuring thorough investigation.

Yeosu City has hired auxiliary personnel to ensure reliable revision of the Nongjiwonbu and completed group training for town and township officials on the 17th to enhance the efficiency of the comprehensive revision.

A city official stated, “This comprehensive revision of the Nongjiwonbu is expected to update the records of official registers, prevent fraudulent receipt of public direct payments, and contribute to the efficient management of farmland.”
