Busan Metropolitan City Expands Public Disclosure of Public Property Information to Enhance Transparency and Citizen Access

내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that starting today (the 15th), it will expand its “Public Property Information Disclosure Service” to include administrative property—land and building information owned by the City—for public access.

Since July last year (2024), the City has disclosed information on public property focusing on general property (land and buildings). As of today, the scope of disclosure has been expanded to include administrative property as well, establishing— for the first time among local governments nationwide—a foundation that enables citizens to comprehensively review the status of public property.

Administrative property refers to assets used by public institutions for administrative purposes and, under relevant laws such as the Public Property and Commodity Management Act, cannot be leased or sold. This expansion of information disclosure has been 추진ed to enhance public understanding and transparency by making basic information on administrative property available to citizens.

With this service expansion, the total number of public properties subject to disclosure as of 2025 includes approximately 3,000 general properties and more than 35,000 administrative properties owned by the City.

The disclosed information includes the location, area, acquisition date, purpose of use, and managing department of land and buildings. Some details may change depending on the purpose, usage status, or maintenance process of administrative property.

The information can be accessed through the Busan Metropolitan City website (https://www.busan.go.kr) under “Information Disclosure – Public Property and Commodities.” For more detailed information, citizens may contact the department serving as the property manager for each asset.

Location information for each property is visually available through map-linked standard and satellite maps, allowing users to check the latest information in real time.

However, information subject to non-disclosure under Article 9 of the Official Information Disclosure Act—such as sensitive or security-related data—will be excluded from the scope of disclosure in compliance with information protection requirements.

The City expects that this expansion of public property information disclosure will significantly reduce inconvenience for citizens, who previously had to search individual parcels one by one or separately obtain registration records to understand the status of public property.

In particular, by providing property information on a map-based platform, citizens will be able to intuitively check the status of land and buildings in areas of interest, greatly enhancing user convenience.

Kim Gyeong-tae, Director General of the Planning and Coordination Office of Busan Metropolitan City, stated, “This expansion of public property information disclosure marks an important step toward practicing public property administration together with citizens,” adding, “We will continue to actively open public information in ways that are easy for citizens to understand and steadily enhance transparency and trust in asset management.”
