The compensation targets are residents or foreigners who were registered and actually resided in noise control areas from January 1 to December 31 of last year. Those who did not apply for compensation during 2022 and last year’s compensation periods can also apply retroactively.

The noise control areas include Paengseong-eup, Cheongbuk-eup, Jinwi-myeon, Seotan-myeon, Godeok-myeon, Seojeong-dong, Jisan-dong, Songbuk-dong, and parts of Sinjang 1 and 2-dong. The noise control areas were designated and announced by the Ministry of National Defense in December 2021, targeting areas near K-5 and K-55 airfields, and noise levels are measured every five years for re-announcement. Detailed noise control areas can be checked through the "Military Airfield Noise Area Inquiry System."

Applications can be submitted by visiting the eup, myeon, or dong offices or through the Pyeongtaek City Hall website.

The monthly compensation amount per person is ▲Type 1 area: 60,000 KRW ▲Type 2 area: 45,000 KRW ▲Type 3 area: 30,000 KRW. The amount may be reduced depending on the time of moving in, actual residence days, and workplace location.

The city plans to finalize the compensation recipients after review and notify individuals of the decision in May.

A city official stated, "We will actively promote to ensure that all residents in the military noise damage compensation areas receive their compensation without omission."
