This pilot project was promoted to ensure public safety by supporting the safety management of buildings left unattended for a long time due to construction halts, and to improve urban aesthetics and residential conditions. Construction-halted buildings refer to buildings under construction or major repair according to the Building Act or the Housing Act, and the target buildings were those confirmed through a survey to have been halted for more than two years.

The Real Estate Board installed protective fences for safety management, while Nonsan City and Jangseong County agreed to provide administrative support such as obtaining consent from related parties and to take on future maintenance and safety management roles. Among these, about 60 people including students and faculty from nearby Ganggyeong Sanyang Elementary School, officials from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and employees of the Real Estate Board participated together in a social contribution activity of 'mural painting' to improve the commuting environment on the protective fence in Nonsan City.

Currently, the Real Estate Board is supporting local governments as an organization for the maintenance of construction-halted buildings by assisting in the establishment of maintenance plans, providing estimated data on demolition costs and market prices of land and buildings, and more to activate maintenance efforts.

Lee Jae-myung, Head of the Industrial Support Division at the Real Estate Board, stated, "We will prepare various local government support measures to promote safety management and maintenance activation of construction-halted buildings to ensure efficient safety management and maintenance."
