Busan Gijang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Gijang-gun has taken decisive action to eradicate real estate speculation violating the Farmland Act.

Gijang-gun announced on the 24th that it will conduct a special crackdown on violations of the Farmland Act until July.

Prior to this, Gijang-gun launched a full-scale investigation of farmland acquired in the past five years.

From 2015 to 2019, over 18,000 parcels of farmland were investigated, uncovering 433 cases of violations such as fallow land or illegal conversion, which were subject to administrative measures.

This special crackdown on violations of the Farmland Act will be carried out in conjunction with the annual farmland usage survey.

Gijang-gun plans to expand the scope of the speculation investigation by conducting a full survey of farmland acquired in the past five years and focusing on farmland suspected of real estate speculation to investigate violations of the Farmland Act.

Farmland in large-scale development areas such as Ilgwang New Town, Ori General Industrial Complex, and Myeongrye General Industrial Complex will be intensively investigated.

Farmland found to be in violation of the Farmland Act during this special crackdown will be subject to administrative measures in accordance with the Farmland Act.

Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Gijang-gun, stated, “Taking this special crackdown as an opportunity, we will conduct continuous investigations on all farmland in Gijang-gun, not limited to specific farmland, to ensure that farmland acquired for speculative purposes does not arise.”
