[Seoul District News] Gangseo-gu Completes 'Hwagok 1 District' Cadastral Resurvey Project, Resolving Land Boundary Disputes and Expecting Land Value Improvement... Yangcheon-gu Selected as Excellent Institution in 'Public Data Provision Operation Evaluation'... Seodaemun-gu Conducts Sewerage Survey to Eliminate Odors

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Incorrect land information in the Hwagog-dong area of Gangseo-gu has been corrected.

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Roh Hyun-song) announced that it has completed the cadastral resurvey project for the Hwagog 1st District at 355-28 Hwagog-dong and finalized the new land boundaries.

The cadastral resurvey project involves investigating and surveying the registered details in the cadastral register to correct discrepancies between the actual land status and the records, and converting the existing paper-based cadastral maps into digital form.

The purpose is to protect residents' property rights and enhance the value of land use by correcting land boundaries that do not match the actual status.

Starting in March last year with the establishment of the cadastral resurvey project plan for Hwagog 1st District, the district conducted precise cadastral resurvey measurements using satellite surveying (GPS) techniques on a total of 58 parcels (13,976.5㎡) around 355-28 Hwagog-dong, adjusting and confirming boundaries.

In particular, since cooperation and consent from local residents were essential during the project, efforts were made to encourage their active participation.

Before the full-scale project launch, the district produced explanatory materials detailing the purpose and effects of the cadastral resurvey project, project overview and location, background and procedures, expected effects, and how to submit consent forms, and posted them on the district website to enhance residents' understanding.

Additionally, an online residents' briefing session was held for landowners and stakeholders within the project area. For those who had difficulty attending online, individual explanations and opinion hearings were conducted on-site during cadastral resurvey measurements to minimize residents' inconvenience.

The district expects that this cadastral resurvey project will resolve disputes between neighbors caused by boundary mismatches and improve land usability and value by creating regular shapes and eliminating blind spots.

Meanwhile, the newly created cadastral register will be submitted for registration requests, and for lands with area changes, adjustment payments will be settled with landowners within the year, ensuring smooth follow-up procedures to complete the project.

A district official said, “Thanks to the active cooperation of residents, we were able to complete the project smoothly. We will continue to carry out cadastral resurvey projects to adjust unreasonable land boundaries and contribute to protecting residents' property rights.” For more details, contact the Gangseo-gu Real Estate Information Division.

Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) announced that it was selected as an excellent institution in the ‘2021 Public Data Provision Operation Evaluation’ hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The ‘Public Data Provision Operation Evaluation’ is a system that annually evaluates central administrative agencies, local governments, and public institutions in five areas: public data management system, openness, utilization, quality, etc., according to the Act on Promotion of the Provision and Use of Public Data.

In this evaluation, Yangcheon-gu achieved first grade in 12 out of 16 indicators, scoring 90.55 points, which is 32 points higher than the average of 58 points for basic local governments.

In particular, the district established a data-based infrastructure by integrating all data related to Yangcheon-gu into a big data platform that allows real-time monitoring. It also received high marks for promoting big data analysis projects to support scientific and objective decision-making and operating a public data open channel on the district website for demand-oriented data disclosure and discovery.

Furthermore, the district has established and is actively pursuing a public data provision and utilization activation plan to enhance data utilization capabilities, including ▲public data opening, expansion, and utilization ▲quality improvement target tasks.

Meanwhile, last year, the district was recognized as an excellent institution in the data-based administrative innovation policy implementation evaluation and won the excellence award in the administrative agency category at the public big data analysis contest hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the National Information Society Agency, demonstrating its prominence in data processing.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “We will do our best to strengthen capabilities in the data sector, a core resource in the smart era, to provide administrative services that satisfy residents.”

Spray-type Odor Reduction Device

Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) is conducting a ‘Survey on the Actual Condition of Sewage Odor Sources and Establishment of Reduction Measures’ as part of creating a pleasant urban environment and will promote odor reduction projects based on the results.

The district is investing 85 million won of its budget to prevent residents' inconvenience caused by sewage odors and to identify and improve the root causes, planning to complete the survey by September this year and establish reduction measures by region and source.

First, to accurately identify the causes and locations, hydrogen sulfide concentrations, a major cause of odor, will be measured at 210 points along public sewage pipelines in the area and 30 forced discharge-type septic tanks with a capacity of over 1,000 people.

Based on these values, an odor map will be created, target sites for reduction projects will be selected, and improvement plans will be established.

A district official said, “We will promptly complete the survey and systematically implement odor reduction projects based on the results.”

Meanwhile, the district has been making various efforts to reduce sewage odors, such as installing invert structures to reduce manhole drop, odor prevention devices in rainwater inlets, odor reduction equipment, and cleaning pipelines.

It is also collaborating with Seoul City to upgrade the sewage odor rating of the Hongje Station area from grade 4 (poor) to grade 3 (good).
