The government announced on the 7th that it will carry out the ‘2·4 housing supply measure’ without a hitch despite the suspicion of land speculation in the Gwangmyeong and Siheung new towns by employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), but there are concerns that the negative impact on the supply plan will not be too much. Is coming out. The leading role of public institutions including LH is important for urban public development and reorganization projects, and new public housing projects in the metropolitan area according to the 2·4 measures. Because. It is pointed out that in order to restore trust, effective measures to prevent recurrence must be preceded with the results of a survey that can be convinced by the public. As early as this month, the government plans to disclose some of the candidates for the public-led urban development project, which was first proposed in the ‘2·4 Supply Measures’ at the end of this month. In addition, in next month, it plans to announce the location of the second new public housing site in the metropolitan area following Gwangmyeong and Siheung, and in May, it plans to conduct the first competition for candidate sites for leading projects such as public direct implementation maintenance projects (redevelopment and reconstruction) and urban public housing complex projects. The public-led urban development project candidates, scheduled for the end of this month, will be reviewed at the request of some residents, so there will be no problem with the disclosure. However, in order for this project led by LH and Seoul Housing and Urban Corporation (SH) to go on the track, such as designating a district, consent of at least two-thirds of the land owners is required.If distrust in these public institutions is not resolved, the process of collecting residents’ opinions will be difficult. There is a concern about suffering. This is because the opinions of land owners who oppose public-led development may become dominant based on the allegations of speculation in Gwangmyeong and Siheung. There is a growing concern that the project will be delayed for the same reason as the public offering of candidate sites for the public direct implementation maintenance project scheduled for May. It is observed that the announcement of new housing districts in the metropolitan area, which was scheduled for next month as early as possible, will be delayed. This is because there is a high concern that another suspicion and controversy will arise if a new housing site candidate is disclosed before the follow-up measures such as an investigation into the speculation of a proposed site in a new city and measures to prevent recurrence are completed. In addition, compensation work in the third new cities such as Goyang Changneung, which is facing land compensation this year, is expected to be difficult. It is pointed out that the voices of landowners who demand compensation for a reasonable price are inevitably protested that only the natives cannot take the land at a bargain price due to the speculation of the LH employee, who was in charge of compensation. Meanwhile, the government is currently grasping the status of real estate acquisitions for the last five years of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, LH employees, spouses, and direct relatives through the Korea Real Estate Agency. Through this, public officials will check if there is any purchase of land in the 3rd new city, Gwacheon district, and Jangsang district in Ansan before designating the housing site, and if they are suspected to have made speculative investments using internal information, they will ask the police for an investigation. An official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said, “We are currently receiving a list of public officials from the Real Estate Agency on the weekend and analyzing it,” he said. “We will disclose and explain in detail to the public as soon as the results are available.” By Choi Jong-hoon, staff reporter
