Yeosu City Distributes Customized Cadastral Maps... Citizen-Centered Service Draws Attention

Expectations for Utilizing the Special Real Estate Measures Act in 245 Rural Villages

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced on the 31st that it will produce and distribute customized cadastral maps and parcel-specific registers for 245 rural fishing villages to facilitate the convenience of residents in aging rural fishing areas.

Although it is now easy to identify locations and utilize maps using smartphones, the city explained that due to the characteristics of areas with a large elderly population, many citizens have difficulty searching parcel numbers on the small screens of smartphones, which led to the production of customized cadastral maps for each village.

The city plans to distribute cadastral maps that allow understanding of land location and status, along with parcel-specific registers containing parcel numbers, land category, area, and owner information, to 245 rural village halls starting from mid-next month.

With the distribution of customized cadastral maps, even citizens who cannot use smartphones will be able to accurately identify land locations and status within their villages without having to visit the city hall or eup/myeon/dong community centers, which is expected to provide citizen-centered administrative services.

A city official stated, “With the distribution of cadastral maps by village, citizens can conveniently view them at their preferred times within their villages,” adding, “In particular, it is expected to be a great help in confirming land locations for guarantors and applicants when filling out ownership transfer registration applications under the currently enforced ‘Special Measures Act on Real Estate Ownership Transfer Registration, etc.’”
