Suwon Selected as Top-Rated Institution in Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '2021 Cadastral Resurvey Project Evaluation'

[Suwon Ilbo=Chung Jun-sung Reporter] Suwon City has been selected as the top-rated institution in the nation's basic local government category in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '2021 Cadastral Resurvey Project Evaluation' and received an institutional commendation. The awards ceremony was held on the 22nd in the conference room of the Government Complex Sejong.

Suwon City, which was previously selected as the top-rated institution in the '2019 Cadastral Resurvey Activation Commendation Evaluation,' has achieved the distinction of being re-selected as a top-rated institution two years later.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport inspected and evaluated cadastral resurvey projects conducted by metropolitan and basic local governments across the nation, and selected local governments with outstanding achievements, such as the advancement of preliminary projects following the introduction of the 'Cadastral Resurvey Responsible Implementation Institution System,' as excellent institutions.

The Responsible Implementation Institution System is a system in which the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport designates a responsible implementation institution for cadastral resurvey measurement and investigation operations, the cadastral authority implementing the project entrusts the work to the responsible implementation institution, and the responsible implementation institution can delegate some operations to private entities.

Suwon City received favorable evaluations in recognition of its contributions to protecting citizens' property rights by actively promoting cadastral resurvey projects.

In particular, the city proactively introduced the Responsible Implementation Institution System, dividing operations between the responsible implementation institution (LX) and private businesses, and improved the cadastral resurvey district designation procedure.

Beginning in July 2017, the city has vigorously pursued cadastral resurvey operations and has completed cadastral resurveys for 1,991 parcels across seven districts, including Pajang and Imok districts in Jangan-gu and Beoltteo and Jamok districts in Gwonseon-gu.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's cadastral resurvey project, which began in 2012, is a national project to be pursued until 2030 that resolves cadastral discrepancies by converting inaccurate paper cadastral records created during the Japanese colonial period into digital cadastral records utilizing satellite surveying.

In accordance with this year's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's changes to basic plans, Suwon City reviewed its comprehensive plan and, reflecting environmental changes and project stages such as the implementation of the Responsible Implementation Institution System, revised and announced its comprehensive plan on September 1st.

In November, the city completed the preparation of implementation plans for six districts scheduled for promotion in 2022, and applied for government funding of 206 million won. The city is establishing groundwork to begin next year's projects early by registering projected cadastral record districts and immediately executing public notice procedures.

Park Byeong-gyoo, head of Suwon City's Land Information Division, stated, "The selection as an excellent cadastral resurvey project institution is a result achieved through citizens' interest and Suwon City's efforts," adding, "We will utilize the latest surveying technology to accurately investigate and survey cadastral records, resolve cadastral discrepancies, and complete accurate cadastral records that anyone can trust." He further stated, "We will do our utmost to protect citizens' property rights."
