pocheon City Launches Large-Scale Cadastral Re-investigation Project in Sinnip-dong

pocheon City (Mayor Kim Jong-cheon) announced that it has officially launched a cadastral re-investigation project for the area around 28-4, Sinnip-dong (587 parcels, 186,079㎡), starting with the "Sinnip District 2," to resolve cadastral irregularities in Pocheon-dong as promised to citizens for the creation of an "enviable living environment."

The cadastral re-investigation project is being promoted in accordance with the "Special Law on Cadastral Re-investigation," and is a national project to correct the registration entries in the cadastral records that do not match the actual conditions of the land, and to convert paper-based cadastral systems into digital cadastral systems using World Geodetic System coordinates by 2030.

Sinnip-dong is a representative central area of pocheon, but most of its urban area consists of cadastrally irregular land, recorded as target land for correction of entries that cannot be surveyed in the land register. This has restricted real estate transactions and various construction activities, preventing landowners from exercising property rights and creating numerous conflicts among neighbors over boundaries.

Accordingly, pocheon City designated 1,889 parcels (564,514㎡) in the vicinity of 28-4, Sinnip-dong into three project districts: "Sinnip District 2" in 2017 and "Sinnip District 3" and "Sinnip District 4" in 2018, and plans to receive 331.2 million won in national funding for survey expenses to complete the project by 2019 on a year-by-year basis.

Furthermore, to efficiently promote the cadastral re-investigation project, the city plans to utilize drones (unmanned aircraft) to provide high-resolution orthographic images to landowners, thereby enhancing on-site understanding and contributing to improved project achievement through smooth boundary determination.

The cadastral re-investigation project in Sinnip-dong has been a long-standing residents' wish for decades. Through this project, effects such as resolution of boundary disputes and dead zones, and land regularization are expected to increase land value, and it is anticipated that the quality of life for citizens will improve.

Mayor Kim Jong-cheon of pocheon City stated, "Through the cadastral re-investigation project in Sinnip-dong, we will address the region's long-standing concerns and pursue active administration to build 'pocheon, a city of hope where citizens' dreams come true.'"
