Jongno-gu Completes 2022 Cadastral Document Digitization Project

Completion of Digitization for Approximately 74,000 Land Transfer Freeze Documents from 1976 to 1993 Secures High-Quality Data... All Related Land Transfer Records Can Be Queried and Issued Using Only Parcel Numbers

Cadastral Survey Map Created in 1978

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jongno-gu (District Mayor Jeong Mun-heon) completed the '2022 Cadastral Document Digitization Project,' which has been underway since March, this month.

The project aims to prevent damage to and efficiently manage the Land Transfer Resolution documents, which are permanent preservation documents, in order to provide prompt and accurate civil service.

The digitized data secured through this project consists of approximately 74,000 pages of Land Transfer Resolution documents from 1976 to 1993.

The Land Transfer Resolution documents serve as the basis for changes recorded in the cadastral register, such as lot number, land category, area, and boundaries. When one wants to know the reasons for division, merger, or land category changes of a specific land parcel, they can refer to these documents.

Despite being important documents for property management, they had been managed in paper form, which over time led to deterioration such as corrosion, contamination, and folding, as well as exposure to safety hazards like fire and flooding.

Additionally, when viewing the documents, staff had to manually search for the papers in the archive and scan or copy them, causing inconvenience and risk of data loss.

However, through this project, Jongno-gu has established an environment where digital data can be accessed instantly with a single click without omissions or damage.

Furthermore, by linking with existing land registers and cadastral map data, it is now possible to view and issue all related land transfer materials using only the lot number.

Jongno-gu plans to carry out the digitization project for Land Transfer Resolution documents from 1994 to 2005 in 2023.

District Mayor Jeong Mun-heon stated, “With this digital data construction, cadastral records, which are fundamental to property management, can be permanently preserved in high quality without information loss,” and added, “We expect to establish a digital cadastral administrative system and greatly enhance convenience for civil petitioners.”
