[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 7th that it will officially open the comprehensive portal "Jeongbi Saeop Jeongbo Mongttang," where information related to maintenance projects can be viewed at a glance, from the progress status of each redevelopment and reconstruction site in Seoul to the union's budget, accounting, and member contributions.


Opening on the 8th, "Jeongbi Saeop Jeongbo Mongttang" was created by integrating and reorganizing the overlapping functions of three existing systems related to maintenance projects: ▲ the "Clean-up System," where the union discloses the progress of maintenance projects ▲ the "e-Union System," which digitizes 100% of all documents produced by the union and discloses them online in real-time to union members ▲ and the "Contribution Estimation Program," which calculates estimated contribution amounts by landowners.


Until now, the Clean-up System and e-Union System were operated in parallel, causing some overlapping functions such as user management and information disclosure, and union executives faced a heavy workload due to double input of related information. Additionally, the Contribution Estimation Program was criticized for its lack of reliability and accuracy because it did not properly reflect inflation and other factors.


Through the integrated "Jeongbi Saeop Jeongbo Mongttang," 37 budget and accounting ledgers of the union can now be viewed by any union member simply by logging in. The disclosure method has also been improved from a manual setting by the union to automatic real-time viewing immediately upon approval by the union head. Items that must be disclosed by law, such as service provider selection results and general meeting minutes, as well as 70 recommended disclosure items by the city, are also accessible.


The scope of information disclosure accessible to landowners and union members has been expanded. Participation is now possible not only for redevelopment and reconstruction but also for regional housing unions, small-scale reconstruction, street housing maintenance projects, and remodeling sites. This aims to prevent opaque union operations.


The Contribution Estimation Program has also been improved to automatically reflect price fluctuations. In addition, improvements include map-based project location confirmation and unification of information disclosure viewing windows. Furthermore, it plans to link with the electronic voting system currently being developed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Real Estate Board to enable electronic voting for union member votes. The digitization of application forms for union establishment approval is also underway.


"Jeongbi Saeop Jeongbo Mongttang" is available not only on PCs but also on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.



Kim Seongbo, Director of the Seoul Housing Policy Office, said, "By allowing any union member to view the information, we will enhance the accounting transparency of maintenance projects and prevent union fraud and corruption in advance. The city will also cooperate with dedicated departments for maintenance projects, such as the Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office, regarding illegal activities by unions. We will do our best for rational and clean maintenance projects."
