Application for Noise Damage Compensation at Seongnam Military Airfield Open... January 15 to February 29

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will accept applications for compensation payments from residents living in the noise control areas of Seongnam Military Airfield from the 15th of this month until the 29th of next month.

The eligible applicants are residents who were registered and actually lived between January 1 and December 31 of last year in certain areas of Siheung-dong, Sasong-dong, Sinchon-dong, Oya-dong, and Simgok-dong in Sujeong-gu, which are designated and announced by the Ministry of National Defense as military airfield noise control areas.

Seongnam City will also accept retroactive applications from those who were eligible for compensation payments between November 27, 2020, and December 31, 2022, but did not apply.

The compensation amount is differentiated according to the degree of noise damage (types 1 to 3), and residents living in the Seongnam Airfield noise control area classified as type 3 will receive 30,000 KRW per person per month. However, the amount may be reduced depending on the time of moving in, workplace, or place of employment.

Applications can be submitted by directly delivering the compensation payment application form, a copy of the applicant’s bankbook in their name, and a copy of their ID card to the Environmental Policy Division on the 5th floor of Seongnam City Hall, or by sending them via registered mail or to the person in charge’s email (ckdlsk26@korea.kr).

One family member may submit the application forms completed by each household member on behalf of the family.

Applicants who miss the deadline can apply retroactively within five years, but interest will not be added for delays in compensation payments.

Compensation payments will be made to the applicant’s bank account by August 31 after review by the Regional Noise Control Deliberation Committee.

A Seongnam City official stated, “Compensation payments to residents in the Seongnam Airfield noise control area have been made since 2022 under the ‘Act on Prevention of Noise and Compensation for Damage from Military Airfields and Shooting Ranges,’ and 2,610 people have received a total of 590 million KRW over the past two years.”
