Analysis of factors that increase development through review of the status of development permit

Abstract:

The Development Permit System is to obtain permission from a mayor when it is deemed appropriate to review or manage it at the city planning level among development activities related to land use. The Development Permit System was introduced in 1993 to prevent indiscriminate development that threatens the ecological environment of urban areas, and in 2003, the National Land Use Planning System was reorganized into the Act on the Use and Planning of National Land, and expanded into non-urban areas. Cities that have grown rapidly with the expansion of the development permit system and easing standards are experiencing complex problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, reduction of open space, urban decline, and unplanned expansion of cities.

Yongin City is located in the center of the southern part of the metropolitan area, which belongs to Gyeonggi-do. Therefore, the population has been continuously increasing at an annual average of 3.52% over the past 10 years. In the case of rural housing complexes, the natural environment and landscape are being damaged because it is centered on a forest area with excellent accessibility, low land price, and excellent view. Yongin City promoted the regional economy, efficient land use and balanced urban development by easing the standards for permitting development. Based on this background of Yongin City, it was selected as a study site.

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors intensifying development by analyzing the development patterns in time series using data on the status of development permits in Yongin City.
