Osan City Promotes Cadastral Resurvey Project for Dugok and Osan Districts

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Osan City is promoting the 'cadastral resurvey project' for Dugok and Osan districts.

The 'cadastral resurvey project' is an undertaking to re-measure regions where actual boundaries do not match the cadastral map among lands registered on paper maps from the 1910s, and to accurately register them as digital cadastral records.

Cadastral non-conforming lands face disputes between neighbors and constraints on various permits and licenses due to the mismatch between actual boundaries and cadastral records. To resolve this, individual lawsuits must be filed.

To address this issue, the city has previously implemented the cadastral resurvey project on 2,175 parcels across 7 districts since 2011. This year, the project will be promoted on 560 parcels in Dugok and Osan districts. Next year, the city plans to expand the project to two additional districts—Oesanmi and Busan—covering 281 parcels. All costs will be covered by national funds.

Through the cadastral resurvey project, disputes and boundary conflicts between landowners and related lawsuits are expected to be resolved, contributing to the exercise of property rights and addressing boundary issues concerning public projects.

A city official stated, "The cadastral resurvey project is an essential undertaking to protect citizens' property rights by resolving boundary disputes," and added, "Residents' interest and cooperation are necessary for successful implementation."
