Addition of 7 Land Development Projects Including Land Preparation Projects to the Cadastral Confirmation Survey Targets

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 30th that it will add seven land development projects, including residential land development projects under the Housing Act, to the cadastral confirmation survey target projects to improve the precision of cadastral surveys for efficient land management.

The cadastral confirmation survey is a cadastral survey conducted to register in the cadastral register the new lot numbers, land categories, areas, coordinates, etc., of newly subdivided land when the shape of the land within the project district changes after the completion of land development projects.

Starting in 1976 with five projects including urban planning projects, the scope of cadastral confirmation survey target projects has been expanded whenever laws related to large-scale development projects were revised, and currently, it is operated for 24 projects.

Currently, most parcel boundary points registered on cadastral maps are represented as scaled-down figures at a scale of 1/1200 of the actual distance, which results in a high probability of errors during the scaling process and the cadastral survey process that restores boundaries on the ground.

However, after the completion of land development projects, when the cadastral confirmation survey registers the parcel boundary points with X,Y coordinates, the scale is converted to a larger scale such as 1/500, thereby improving boundary accuracy and survey precision, ensuring consistency of survey results regardless of who conducts the survey.

Additionally, land development project implementers can apply for land movement on behalf of landowners, such as division and merger of land, under a special provision for land movement applications, facilitating smoother project implementation.

The cadastral confirmation survey is a project in which private cadastral surveyors can participate, and with the expansion of the cadastral confirmation survey target projects, it is expected to increase job opportunities for cadastral survey technicians and revitalize the private cadastral survey industry.

Yoo Seung-kyung, Director of the Spatial Information System Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, "We plan to continue identifying projects where the shape and boundaries of existing land are completely changed among land development projects and add them to the cadastral confirmation survey target projects."
