Gunpo Mayor Han Dae-hee is enhancing on-site administration to systematically manage development-restricted areas and preserve the urban environment.
On September 18, Mayor Han announced that a concentrated crackdown on illegal activities within development-restricted areas will take place from September 21 to November 20, aiming to prevent environmental damage.
The crackdown will focus on 140 suspected illegal activities identified through aerial photography in the city’s development-restricted areas.
Mayor Han stated that the approach will not only involve regulation but will also integrate aerial photography with on-site investigations to closely verify actual land use.
To facilitate this, two investigation teams consisting of five members each will be deployed to compare aerial photography results with on-site conditions. They will conduct location verification, measurements, take photographs, and interview land stakeholders to confirm any violations.
The inspections will particularly target various illegal activities within development-restricted areas, including unauthorized construction and alterations, illegal changes in land use, unpermitted land modifications, and illegal logging.
If violations are confirmed, necessary administrative actions, including restoration orders, will be implemented in accordance with relevant laws.
This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to manage and monitor development-restricted areas, preventing indiscriminate development and ensuring a balanced management of Gunpo’s natural environment and urban spaces.
Mayor Han's actions align with his administration's focus on improving citizens' living environments and sustainable urban management.
The goal is to strengthen a management system that harmonizes development and conservation, concentrating administrative efforts on creating a pleasant living environment for residents.
Mayor Han remarked, “We plan to conduct more accurate and systematic inspections of illegal activities in development-restricted areas by linking aerial photography data with on-site investigations.”
He emphasized, “We will do our utmost to prevent damage to development-restricted areas and create a healthy urban environment through continuous monitoring and management.”
Additionally, Mayor Han plans to continue monitoring and managing development-restricted areas to prevent the recurrence of illegal activities and protect the urban environment.
