Pohang City Sees 'Resident Support' for Cadastral Resurvey Project... Accelerates with Priority Project Area Designation

If Two-Thirds of Residents Agree, Preliminary Survey... "Cadastral Resurvey Project to be Completed by 2030"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City announced on the 16th that it is actively promoting the 'Cadastral Resurvey Project' to align the actual land conditions with cadastral records, receiving great support from residents.

The previous cadastral records (documents containing land information such as land registers) were based on cadastral maps created during the Japanese colonial period, and over the long 110 years, they have experienced distortions and wear, revealing the limitations of paper maps.

Although the digitization of cadastral records was completed in 2002, disputes among neighboring residents have continued due to accumulated cadastral discrepancies (situations where actual conditions do not match the maps).

In this regard, Pohang City has been promoting the cadastral resurvey project focusing on dispute areas from 2013 to 2030, responding swiftly by selecting priority project districts when more than two-thirds of residents agree.

According to the Urban Planning Division of Pohang City, the cadastral resurvey project covers 10% of the total area of Pohang City. The Nam-gu and Buk-gu offices of Pohang City have completed about 28% of the cadastral resurvey project targets (890 districts, 38,000 parcels, 9.3㎢).

A Pohang City official stated, "In the case of Nam-gu and Buk-gu, we plan to significantly increase the workforce to complete the project early," adding, "We intend to complete the cadastral resurvey project by 2030 to resolve the long-standing issues of residents."
