"End of Concerns Over Complaints and Property Rights Infringement!" ... Busan Gijang-gun Implements Negotiated Purchase of Private Land on Current Roads

Busan Gijang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Gijang-gun has launched a negotiation purchase process for private land within existing roads.

This project is being implemented to reduce civil complaints and infringement of private property rights, and to enable efficient road maintenance and management.

The purchase targets are private lands within existing roads up to 8m wide, located in residential, commercial, and industrial zones according to land use designation.

Private lands within urban and county planning facilities under the “National Land Planning and Utilization Act,” as well as access roads opened for the purpose of subdivision or private land development, are excluded.

Landowners wishing to negotiate purchase can submit an application form by visiting the Urban Infrastructure Construction and Compensation Team with identification from the 3rd to the 28th.

Gijang-gun will receive purchase applications, prioritize applicants according to selection criteria, and proceed with negotiation purchases sequentially starting in June.

Selection criteria for applicants are as follows: ▲First criterion is road width, with priority given in order to roads 4m or less, 6m or less, and 8m or less. ▲Second criterion applies when multiple purchase applications exist on the same existing road within the first criterion priority.

▲Third criterion is a comprehensive judgment reflecting traffic volume, civil complaint situations, etc., when ties occur in the first and second criteria. Final decisions are made after review by the Shared Property Deliberation Committee.

If negotiation purchase is not possible for higher priority applicants, the negotiation purchase process will proceed for lower priority applicants within the budget.

For lands confirmed for negotiation purchase, Gijang-gun will conduct cadastral surveys and select two appraisal companies to perform appraisals and calculate compensation amounts. According to relevant laws, existing roads are appraised at up to one-third of the appraisal value of adjacent land.

A Gijang-gun official stated, “We will continue to promote negotiation purchases of private lands within existing roads to resolve various civil complaints and infringements of private property rights caused by the inclusion of private land within existing roads in the jurisdiction.”
