[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Anyone who has organized real estate through inheritance or other means may recall visiting a local community service center to request an old cadastral map (closed cadastral map) by fax and waiting for a long time.

Starting September 1, in Mapo-gu (District Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun), issuing cadastral preservation documents such as closed cadastral maps can now be done in just 3 minutes without any waiting.

The secret to reducing the procedure, which previously required waiting up to 3 hours after applying for a closed cadastral map issuance by fax at the community service center, to just 3 minutes is the implementation of the ‘Cadastral Preservation Document Online Issuance Service.’

Previously, land registers and cadastral maps could be issued online within 3 minutes through the Real Estate Comprehensive Study System at the district office or community service center, but closed cadastral maps and forest maps were not computerized, requiring applicants to visit the district office in person or apply by fax at the community service center and wait for issuance.

Additionally, cadastral maps were created and managed on paper for nearly 100 years from the Japanese colonial period to the 1990s, making them vulnerable to damage and fire, which posed significant management challenges.

To resolve these inconveniences, the district computerized 857 sheets of closed cadastral maps and forest maps, linked them with the existing online issuance system, the Real Estate Comprehensive Study System, and enabled immediate online issuance not only at the district office but also at community service centers.

This ‘Cadastral Preservation Document Online Issuance Service’ is expected to bring benefits such as reduced civil service processing time, prevention of damage and forgery through computerization, and easier boundary identification by providing high-resolution cadastral maps, generating anticipation ahead of its full-scale implementation.

Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “This service improvement will significantly reduce the time and economic costs for civil petitioners,” and added, “We will continue to actively discover and implement administrative services that enhance convenience for residents.”
