[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Gijang-gun has taken a stance to eradicate speculation and illegal conversion of farmland and mountain land.


On the 18th, Gijang-gun held a 'Countermeasure Meeting to Eradicate Speculation and Illegal Conversion of Farmland and Mountain Land' and announced that it will begin investigations into speculative and illegal conversion activities.


Gijang-gun plans to establish internal plans by each department to investigate any suspicious cases of farmland and mountain land within the jurisdiction and root them out completely.


Oh Gyu-seok, the head of Gijang-gun, emphasized, "The principle of farmland being used by those who cultivate it has been broken, causing public outrage nationwide," and added, "We must hold those responsible strictly accountable and take appropriate measures."


Accordingly, the Forestry and Parks Division, Eco-friendly Agriculture Division, and Human City Division of Gijang-gun will promptly establish their own plans and conduct a full-scale investigation into farmland and mountain land transactions.


Following the county head's directive the day before, Gijang-gun formed a 'Public Officials Real Estate Speculation Investigation TF' and began auditing real estate speculation by current and former Gijang-gun public officials over the past five years.



The TF consists of 11 members led by the deputy head of Gijang-gun. Additionally, starting from the 17th, Gijang-gun opened and began operating a 'Real Estate Speculation Reporting Window for Current and Former Public Officials and Elected Officials.'
