Why Is Gangbuk-gu Undertaking a Comprehensive Cleanup of Agricultural Support Records?

Updating Actual Cultivation and Ownership Information for Efficient Management of Farmland Over 1000㎡...Issuing Farmland Disposal Orders and Imposing Enforcement Fines Upon Detection of Violations

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Park Gyeom-su) is promoting a comprehensive cleanup of farm registers that do not match the actual cultivation status and land registers to ensure the efficient use and management of farmland.

The farm register is created to understand the status of farmland, ownership, and usage relationships, and is used as administrative data for farmland management and as supporting evidence for agricultural policy support projects.

It is prepared when cultivating or growing crops or perennial plants on farmland of 1000㎡ or more, and is managed by the resident center of the village where the head of the farming household resides.

The district will first update the registers by dividing them into priority cleanup targets and basic cleanup targets. Priority cleanup targets include farm registers of farmland owners whose farmland location and the address of the person subject to registration differ, as well as farm registers of owners aged 80 or older located within the district.

Basic cleanup targets are farm registers updated annually according to the Farmland Act due to changes such as ownership transfer, duplicate registration, lease expiration, death of the farming household head, or insufficient cultivation area.

The cleanup is conducted by comparing and analyzing information recorded in the existing original registers with government and land register data, agricultural management entity registration information, and by visiting the sites for verification.

If farmland information is unclear or inconsistent with agricultural management entity registration information during this process, the district plans to request clarification. For those who own farmland but find it difficult to farm directly, the district will connect them with the ‘Farmland Lease Entrustment Project,’ which finds farmers to lease the land directly.

Additionally, if signs of illegal leasing are found, the farmland usage survey conducted from September to November will include these cases to verify violations, and necessary measures such as farmland disposition orders and imposition of enforcement fines will be taken.

Park Gyeom-su, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, stated, “If a full survey of farm registers, which serve as basic data for agricultural support, is conducted, it will increase convenience for farmers and improve the efficiency of farmland use. We will make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the data through this project.”
