The Korean Society for Public Property, an academic research organization studying all properties such as buildings and land owned by local governments nationwide as well as public properties owned by the state, has been launched.

On the 17th, the Korean Society for Public Property held its inaugural commemorative academic seminar at the Korea Local Finance Association and announced the appointment of Professor Nam as its first president. The president’s term is two years. President Nam is currently a professor in the Department of Public Administration at Kyungpook National University and has previously served as the dean of the Graduate School of Public Administration at Kyungpook National University and as president of the Korean Urban Administration Association.

President Nam stated, "Until now, there has always been a regret due to the lack of an academic foundation and platform to freely discuss and activate various issues related to public property. Now that the society has been launched, we will actively conduct research on the properties of local governments nationwide as well as those of the central government, aiming to contribute significantly to academic maturity, regional economies, and local finances."

Meanwhile, the inaugural commemorative academic seminar, themed "Reestablishing the Value of Public Property and Strategies for Management and Activation," featured presentations and discussions on establishing an integrated management system for public property and improving the efficiency of public property management organizations.
