Pocheon City Launches Full-Scale Cadastral Resurvey Project in Sineupdong

Pocheon City (Mayor Kim Jong-cheon) announced that it will begin a full-scale cadastral resurvey project for the area around 28-4, Sineupdong (587 lots, 186,079㎡), starting with "Sineupdong 2 District," to resolve cadastral discrepancies in Pocheon-dong as part of its commitment to residents to create "dignified living environments."

The cadastral resurvey project is being pursued in accordance with the "Special Law on Cadastral Resurvey," and is a national project aimed at correcting registration entries in cadastral records that do not match the actual conditions of land and converting paper-based cadastral records into digital cadastral records based on world geodetic system coordinates by 2030.

While Sineupdong is a representative central area of Pocheon, most of the downtown district is classified as cadastrally discordant land and is recorded as land subject to registration correction where cadastral surveys cannot be conducted according to land registers. This has restricted real estate transactions and various construction activities, preventing landowners from exercising property rights and creating many boundary-related disputes among neighbors.

In response, Pocheon City designated 1,889 lots covering 564,514㎡ in the area around Sineupdong 28-4 across three project districts: "Sineupdong 2 District" in 2017, "Sineupdong 3 District" and "Sineupdong 4 District" in 2018. The city received 331.2 million won in national funding for surveying costs and plans to complete the project by 2019 on a yearly basis.

Furthermore, to efficiently promote the cadastral resurvey project, the city plans to utilize drones (unmanned aircraft) to provide landowners with high-resolution orthoimagery, thereby enhancing understanding of the actual sites and contributing to improved project achievement through smooth boundary determination.

Since the cadastral resurvey project in Sineupdong has long been a cherished wish of residents, it is expected that the project will resolve boundary disputes and enclosed lands, regularize land shapes, and generate effects of increased land value, while improving residents' quality of life.

Mayor Kim Jong-cheon of Pocheon City stated, "Through the cadastral resurvey project in Sineupdong, we will implement proactive administration that resolves the region's long-held wishes and create 'Pocheon, a city of hope where citizens' dreams are realized.'"
