How to search for land information about ancestral land found through a QR code.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A service that allows citizens who have found ancestral land to immediately check land use information through QR code search will be launched for the first time in Busan.

Busan City announced on the 28th that, to reduce unnecessary face-to-face administrative services amid the resurgence of COVID-19, it will implement the "Ancestral Land Search QR Code Land Information Search Service" nationwide for the first time starting in September.

This QR code service does not directly find ancestral land. The process of finding it requires face-to-face administrative services. However, it is a service that allows users to immediately know the purpose and usage information of the found ancestral land.

The "Ancestral Land Search" is an administrative service introduced to verify inheritance relationships when land owned by direct ascendants or descendants cannot be identified due to negligence in property (land) management or unforeseen accidents.

It is a service that informs the results by searching nationwide cadastral electronic data. Last year, it helped 9,870 citizens find ancestral land. A total of 37,743 parcels (44.2 km²) of land, equivalent to 15 times the area of Yeouido, found their owners.

In line with the non-face-to-face era caused by COVID-19, Busan City provides a "one-stop land information search QR code" that allows citizens who have found ancestral land to easily check land information without having to separately obtain cadastral maps or land use plan confirmation documents through face-to-face administrative services.

The QR code is printed on the "Ancestral Land Search" result form, and scanning it with a mobile phone automatically connects to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Land Use Regulation Information Service website.

From there, users can search by lot number or road name to easily check land use zones, urban planning, various regulatory restrictions, and whether construction is possible.

Choi Dae-kyung, Director of the Urban Planning Office of Busan City, said, "Through this service, which will be implemented nationwide for the first time starting in September, citizens will be able to easily check detailed information about land on their mobile phones via QR codes without issuing additional civil documents."
