Naju-si Awarded the 'Presidential Institutional Citation' for Excellence in Cadastral Resurvey Work

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 16th that it received the Presidential Institutional Citation for excellence in cadastral resurvey work in celebration of the ‘1st Digital Cadastral Day’ (September 16), hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Digital Cadastral Day was held for the first time this year to reemphasize the value of cadastral resurvey that enhances national competitiveness through national land digitalization, strengthen cooperation systems among related organizations, and boost the morale of workers.

The cadastral resurvey is a national policy project that corrects the boundaries in cadastral records that do not match the actual status of the land to the real boundaries, according to the ‘Special Act on Cadastral Resurvey.’

The core of the project is to convert paper cadastral maps over 100 years old, created during the Japanese colonial period, into three-dimensional digital cadastral maps to resolve cadastral discrepancies.

Upon project completion, it has effects such as confirming real boundaries, resolving landlocked parcels, increasing land value through land regularization, reducing boundary disputes, and protecting property rights, thereby decreasing social and economic costs.

Previously, the city was recognized for its cadastral resurvey capabilities and status through the highest honor, the Presidential Citation, following its selection as the best institution nationwide in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s cadastral resurvey work evaluation in 2019.

To promote efficient project implementation, the city has been advancing initiatives such as ▲the responsible executing agency system involving cooperation among private, public, and government sectors ▲pilot projects applying new drone technology ▲establishment of a cadastral resurvey status map management system ▲installation service of completed cadastral resurvey maps in village halls.

In particular, it received high praise for installing and providing newly created cadastral maps and drone footage in village halls so that landowners in the 11 completed project districts (25 villages) can easily and accurately confirm land boundaries.

Mayor Kang In-gyu recently attended the award ceremony held at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s main conference room in the Government Sejong Complex.

Mayor Kang said, “This Presidential Citation achievement was possible thanks to the cooperation of landowners and the hard work of related officials. We will do our utmost to secure national funding and promote the project so that the value of the national land is properly established and more citizens can confirm accurate land boundaries without surveying costs and protect their property rights.”
