In addition, the Democratic Party and the government decided on the 14th to lift the protected areas of 16 military facilities, which are not restricted for military operations. The area to be lifted was 34.7 times the area of ​​Yeouido (167,4284 m2), up 31% from last year (7709,6121 m2). 87% of the lifted areas are subregions of the metropolitan area, including Goyang, Paju, Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do, Goseong and Hwacheon, Gangwon-do, Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, and Nonsan, Chungnam.

The Democratic Party announced this morning that it held discussions with the government on measures to lift and mitigate protection zones for military facilities, and “collect various opinions on the infringement of residents’ property rights and difficulties of local governments.”

By region, the flight safety zone in the area of ​​Seonyeon-ri, Okseo-myeon, Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, was the largest. In addition, 1491,6959㎡ of restricted protected areas in 13 regions including Seo-gu, Gyeyang-gu, Gwangju, Gimpo, Paju, Goyang, Yangju, Gangwon, Hwacheon, Inje, Goseong, Taean, Chungnam, Ulleung, Gunsan, etc. were released, and Nonsan, Chungnam. The control and protection area of ​​Anmun-ri, Yeonmu-eup, will also be lifted.

The cancellation of the protected area will take effect upon posting in the official gazette on the 19th. The 1.32 million, 8441 square meters of controlled protected areas were also reduced to restricted protected areas. Building construction, etc., is virtually forbidden in the controlled protected area, but if it is eased into a restricted protected area, new buildings can be built under consultation with the military.

Local governments decided to entrust consultations with the military on development, etc. in areas where the protected area was restricted. Accordingly, local governments can permit construction or development below a certain building height without consultation with the military. Target areas include Paju, Yangju, and Pyeongtaek in Gyeonggi-do and Jangheung-ri, Cheorwon, Gangwon-do.

Democratic Party leader Kim Tae-yeon said, “In the past, even green houses had to obtain permission from the military, so the border regions of northern Gyeonggi and Gangwon-do had a great difficulty in revitalizing the local economy.” “Defense and security can be strengthened with the support and trust of the people. I said. He said, “Removing the protected area of ​​military facilities is a measure to bring the military and the public closer.”

Gangwon-do Governor Choi Moon-soon said, “Thanks to this measure, it will be a good example to prove that peace is economy and peace is money.” “(The area released from the military facilities protection zone) is an area where property rights can be exercised and development is possible. It is an area where it is falling, so it will be very helpful in revitalizing the local economy.”
