Hanam City to Promote Reorganization of Long-term Unexecuted Urban Planning Facilities

"Pursuing Both Public Interest and Protection of Residents' Property Rights"

Gyeonggi Hanam City (Mayor Lee Hyunjae) announced on the 25th that it has officially changed its urban management plan in order to secure public interest and protect residents' property rights by revising long-term unexecuted urban planning facilities, such as priority-released settlements.

This reorganization of long-term unexecuted urban planning facilities was carried out to organize "expired" facilities where projects have not been implemented, and to secure efficiency in land use.

The target facilities are those within nine priority-released settlements (Hak-am Valley, Bakkat Changmoru, An Changmoru, Seommal, Sangok, Saraegi, Neolbeunbawi, Songnim, Daesagol) and eight collective settlements (Gunlyanggol, Gaedaengi, Cheongtteul, Gaemichon, Gwangam, Nambak, Chunjang, Hasangol), where urban planning facilities have not been promoted for 20 years after their designation and are scheduled to expire in July 2025.

Additionally, some facilities outside the designated districts, such as roads and rivers, were also included.

Roads were adjusted to reflect actual conditions. Roads that could not be constructed were abolished, and roads currently in use were reduced in width and length to match their actual usage. However, according to the review by the Hanam City Urban Planning and Architecture Joint Committee, in order to prevent construction restrictions on dead-end roads under the Building Act, roads longer than 35 meters were adjusted to a width of 6 meters. Major changes such as these were available for public viewing from July 8 to July 22.

For facilities such as parks and parking lots that are being abolished, 30% of the increased land value resulting from the change (abolition) of urban planning facilities must be paid as public facilities or costs, in accordance with the National Land Planning and Utilization Act.

In addition, long-term unexecuted facilities such as collective settlements within development-restricted zones without implementation plans, and facilities outside the designated districts, were also changed or abolished.

Starting in the second half of this year, Hanam City is conducting on-site investigations of 26 priority-released settlements designated in 2006. If possible, public viewing for residents will begin between late September and October, and the city is also considering holding explanatory sessions.
