Laying the Foundation for Rapid Civil Service in the Information Age

Eunpyeong-gu Completes Digitalization of Closed Cadastral Records View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) has completed the digitization of closed numerical cadastral records, including the boundary point coordinate registration book, which were previously stored on paper, finalizing the digitization of paper cadastral records that have been sequentially promoted since 2006.


Cadastral records are important documents that reveal the history of land changes, consisting of land (forest) registers and cadastral (forest) maps that record the designation of land and its owners. However, these records were written and used on paper for nearly 100 years from the Japanese colonial period to the 1990s, always facing risks of wear, damage, and loss due to fire.


The recently digitized cadastral records include over 3,330 sheets of boundary point coordinate registration books and closed numerical cadastral maps stored on paper. Starting with the closed cadastral (forest) maps in 2006, the digitization of a total of approximately 192,600 sheets of land (forest) registers and cadastral (forest) maps was completed by 2019. With this digitization of closed numerical cadastral records, the digitization of all paper cadastral records has been completed.


This completion of digitizing closed cadastral records has established the foundation for a nationwide online network, enabling the provision of high-quality civil services suitable for the advanced information age. It also secures data that can be fully restored even if cadastral records are lost or damaged due to natural disasters or accidents.



An official from the district stated, "According to Seoul City's plan to promote online issuance services for cadastral preservation documents, the online issuance of closed cadastral records, which is currently only possible at the district office, will be available at each community service center starting in 2021. To ensure smooth implementation of this service and provide better civil services and convenience to our residents, we have completed the digitization of closed cadastral records."
