Suwon Completes Cadastral Resurvey of Imok District in Jangan-gu

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Suwon City has corrected the cadastral records of cadastral non-conforming land through the cadastral resurvey project of Imok District in Jangan-gu.

Cadastral refers to records in which various matters pertaining to land are registered, while cadastral non-conforming land refers to land where actual land use conditions do not match the registered items in the cadastral records.

The city conducted the cadastral resurvey project for Imok District over 22 months beginning November 14, 2017. The target area was the vicinity of lot 243-5, Imok-dong, Jangan-gu, comprising a total of 402 parcels (115,118 ㎡). According to the survey results, the area of Imok District was confirmed to be 400 parcels (115,064.9 ㎡) rather than the existing 402 parcels. The area decreased by 53 ㎡ from the previous figure.

The city corrected the registered items in cadastral records for land—▲land registers ▲cadastral maps ▲land use plan confirmation certificates ▲land registry—that did not match the actual conditions of the land, and registered the cadastral boundaries that were published on paper using World Geodetic System coordinates, the global standard.

The city, which began cadastral resurvey projects in February 2014, completed cadastral resurveys for Beolter District in Gwonseon-gu and Pajang District in Jangan-gu (a total of 471 parcels, 535,000 ㎡).

The cadastral resurvey project, initiated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2012, is a project that resolves cadastral non-conforming land by comprehensively converting inaccurate paper cadastral records created during the Japanese colonial period into digital cadastral records utilizing satellite surveying.

A city official stated, "The cadastral resurvey project allows us to accurately confirm cadastral boundaries. This will reduce verification costs and disputes arising from boundary discrepancies," and explained, "Next year, we plan to select and proceed with projects in four districts including Ui District in Yeongtong-gu and Jamok District in Gwonseon-gu."
