| Abstract | Land readjustment (LR) projects played a useful and effective role
until the 1980s in providing urban infrastructure and residential land
in Korea. However, in the early 1980s, the shortcomings of LR as practiced in Seoul and Pusan caused the government to discontinue its use in
these cities in 1982, preferring the government development (GD) method.
The aim of this study is to identify the reasons for the dropping
the LR technique in Seoul, to compare the advantages and disadvantages
of the LR and GD techniques, and to recommend on measures improving the
LR technique in Korea. The study was made by case studies of two recently
implemented LR projects in Seoul.
The study found that since the 1970s there was serious land speculation and large increases in land prices within the LR projects in Seoul
which the government failed to control . The government turned to the GD
technique in order to prevent land speculation and to recover the
betterment.
However, if the government had given more attention to improving the
LR technique, most of the disadvantages of the technique could have been
overcome. The study recommends on the measures to be adopted to improve
the LR technique and recover its disadvantages. |
