The non-registered road purchase project targets privately owned land that has been incorporated into roads used by the general public. The application period will run for about three months, from March 3 to the end of May. Landowners who wish to apply should visit the Cadastral Management Team at the General Civil Service Office of Yeongwol County Office and submit an application form.

Last year, the county completed compensation for a total of 92 lots and received positive evaluations from residents in terms of improving the traffic environment and protecting property rights.

This year, the county plans to invest a total budget of 550 million won to carry out the non-registered road purchase project and will provide compensation in stages by setting priorities within the budget limit.

Choi Eunhee, head of the General Civil Service Office, said, "The purchase of non-registered roads is a project closely related to residents' daily lives, aimed not only at ensuring traffic safety but also at protecting the rights and interests of landowners," adding, "We hope that the owners of eligible land will actively apply."
