Study on the Improvement of Non-Urban Area Management System

In 2003, the National Land Planning And Utilization Act was enacted, but the non-urban area management system through the use area system has problems due to the too wide range of restrictions on management areas, small-scale development using loopholes in the existing legal system, and double administrative procedures due to the lifting of conservation areas. To solve this problem, it is necessary to re-establish the permit standards of non-urban areas or incorporate management areas into the vertical use area classification system to clearly distinguish the identity of the management area. In order to prevent waste of administrative power, it is necessary to give special-purpose areas to areas released from preserved mountainous districts and agricultural promotion areas without separate administrative procedures, strengthen diversion requirements for in preserved mountainous districts, and reorganize the management system so that accommodation facilities can only be made possible through planned locations such as district unit planning areas or growth management planning areas. The growth management plan is an auxiliary means for Permission for Development Activities and can designate non-permissible uses, but it cannot relax permitted uses, so it has limitations as a means of inducing location. In the case of planning management areas, most facilities are permitted due to negative use regulations, so it is difficult to induce location through additional relaxations. Therefore local governments and residents will actively establish growth management plans only when restrictions on behavior in existing special-purpose area are strengthened and ease of allowable use through growth management plan. The planned development of non-urban areas is possible only by planting the perception that regional development in non-urban areas is possible only through district unit plans and growth management plans.
