[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 22nd that it held an urban planning committee meeting on the 19th and deliberated and approved a total of seven cases, including a land use zone change plan to integrate and relocate the Agricultural Resources Management Institute to Danbuk-myeon, Uiseong-gun.

The approved agenda items include the Uiseong County Management Plan change, as well as ▲ Yeongdeok-gun Samsa Recreation Area Development Plan change ▲ Chilgok-gun Yakmok-myeon land use zone change ▲ Yeongju City Dongyang University campus reduction urban management plan change ▲ Yeongju City Hucheon District urban development zone designation ▲ Andong urban management plan reorganization ▲ Pohang Uhyun-dong private rental housing supply project.

First, the 'Uiseong County Management Plan change' involves changing about 20,000㎡ of agricultural and forestry land in Danbuk-myeon to a planned management area to integrate and relocate the Agricultural Resources Management Institute headquarters (Daegu Buk-gu) and Uiseong branch (545,047㎡), which are Gyeongbuk provincial offices.

The 'Yeongdeok Recreation Area Development Plan change' involves partially changing the recreation area development plan within the existing Samsa Recreation Area in Ganggu-myeon, Yeongdeok-gun, to install hotel and condo accommodations and a marine cable car. This approval is expected to boost private investment projects such as hotels and marine cable cars in the future.

The 'Chilgok County Management Plan (land use zone) change' involves partially changing 6,848㎡ of agricultural and forestry land to a planned management area at the Chilgok County Agricultural Technology Center in Yakmok-myeon, Chilgok-gun, due to the need for public office facilities (offices).

The 'Yeongju Urban Management Plan (school facilities) change' involves reducing the university site (from 352,238㎡ to 262,377㎡) to seek ways to utilize idle land due to a decrease in student numbers at Dongyang University in Punggi-eup, Yeongju City, and the opening of the Dongducheon campus.

The 'Yeongju Hucheon District Urban Development Zone designation' involves urban development by acquisition method on undeveloped land in Hucheon-dong, Yeongju City (site 32,672㎡, 416 households). The committee decided to re-examine this after in-depth discussions on infrastructure such as surrounding roads and residential conditions resulting from the development.

The 'Andong Urban Management Plan reorganization' is a project to review and reorganize every five years the entire administrative district of Andong City, reflecting policy directions of higher-level plans such as the basic plan, and correcting unreasonable land use zones, districts, and urban planning facilities. The committee conditionally approved this, subject to reflecting provincial review opinions and adjusting some urban areas.

The 'Pohang Uhyun-dong Public-Supported Private Rental Housing Supply Promotion Zone designation' is a project to supply private rental housing (961 households) for homeless low-income and actual demanders in Uhyun-dong, Buk-gu, Pohang City. The committee, which had decided to re-examine this twice before (6th meeting in 2018, 9th meeting in 2019), finally approved the original plan after reviewing the validity of the submitted rental housing demand. Accordingly, the project will proceed through procedures such as district plan approval and housing construction business approval.

Baek Yong-su, Director of the Construction and Urban Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, said, "We will rationally promote changes to provincial and city/county management plans for various projects such as relocating public offices within the province, active private investment, and urban reorganization," adding, "We will try to avoid land use zone changes for indiscriminate development as much as possible and make continuous efforts to improve residents' pleasant living conditions and quality of life."
