Yeosu City Council's Dolsan Overdevelopment Investigation Committee Conducts Aerial Survey Using Drones

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] On the 9th, the Dolsan Area Overdevelopment Investigation Committee of Yeosu City Council announced that it is diversifying the methods of identifying the actual status of development activities by utilizing drones following administrative vessels.

The City Council stated that the Overdevelopment Investigation Committee plans to deploy drones to the Dolsan development sites to secure aerial photographs and conduct an in-depth inspection to determine whether there are any illegal activities.

Previously, on the 21st of last month, the Overdevelopment Investigation Committee, along with experts in civil engineering and architecture, investigated coastal development activities by boarding an administrative vessel, and conducted on-site inspections until the 2nd of this month.

Based on the aerial data secured on that day, the committee intends to identify any illegalities in the development process and conduct additional investigations in areas suspected of illegal development.

The Dolsan Area Overdevelopment Investigation Committee was formed to investigate overdevelopment in the Dolsan area following the issue of illegal damage to Somisan last year. The activity period was from January to March, and the investigation committee members were the members of the relevant standing committee, the Marine City Construction Committee.

To increase efficiency, the investigation is focusing on 57 cases such as lodging facilities and restaurants, excluding single-family houses, prime farmland, and livestock barns, out of a total of 295 permitted cases in the Dolsan area.

The investigation is also being conducted on permits related to development activities including mountain area conversion, construction activities, design changes, and illegal activities after completion such as completion documents.

Going forward, based on the on-site inspection data secured so far, the committee plans to hold internal discussions and meetings involving experts and public officials to devise efficient restoration and institutional improvement measures.

Na Hyun-su, chairman of the Dolsan Area Overdevelopment Investigation Committee, said, “We are conducting a selective and focused investigation mainly on permit sites with relatively high concerns of illegal activities. While currently investigating the presence of illegal activities, improving institutional aspects to prevent recurrence of similar incidents in the future is also a task of the investigation committee.”
