The government will provide a total of 21,200 new public dwellings by 2037 through the reconstruction of permanent rental dwellings in the first generation new towns.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 29th that it will begin the full-scale reconstruction of 14,000 permanent rental dwellings in Bundang, Goyang, Pyeongchon, Sanbon, and Jungdong, which are first-generation new towns.
In Bundang, the targeted complexes include ▲Cheongsol Complex 6 (1,300 dwellings), ▲White Complex 6 and Mokryun Complex 1 (1,500 dwellings each), and ▲Hansol Complex 7 (1,700 dwellings).
In Ilsan, the included complexes are ▲Hwindol Complex 4 (1,100 dwellings), ▲Munchon Complex 7 (600 dwellings), and ▲Munchon Complex 9 (500 dwellings).
Pyeongchon and Sanbon include ▲Gwanak (500 dwellings), ▲Gaya Complex 2 (900 dwellings), ▲Maehwa Complex 1 (1,300 dwellings), and ▲Jumong Complex 1 (1,200 dwellings).
Jungdong targets ▲Hallasan Complex 1 (900 dwellings) and ▲Deogyu Complex 1 (1,000 dwellings).
Additionally, it plans to build 7,200 new public dwellings through separate reconstruction. Accordingly, the total of 21,200 dwellings will be supplied sequentially by 2037, combining the 14,000 dwellings from the existing permanent rental reconstruction and the new public dwellings.
In complexes where permanent rental dwellings and private apartments are mixed, integrated reconstruction will be promoted with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) as the project implementer if residents wish. In particular, for integrated reconstruction projects, the quantity resulting from the permanent rental reconstruction will be recognized as public contributions to enhance the project's feasibility. Private construction companies can also participate in the reconstruction work.
During the reconstruction work, the existing residents are planned to temporarily stay in permanent rental dwellings located near the first generation new towns. Currently, there are 13,000 public rental dwellings near the five new towns, including 4,300 permanent rental dwellings. This relocation will be carried out sequentially by 2033.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport supports moving costs and relocation services for the elderly and disabled, who make up most of the permanent rental residents. The ministry plans to collaborate with hospitals and social welfare centers near the temporary residences to support medical expenses and provide free health check-ups.
Before establishing the reconstruction plan, the ministry conducted a survey on temporary residences targeting 975 households from October to November. Among the responses regarding temporary residences, 39.0% noted that the surrounding environment, including transportation, hospitals, and commercial areas, is important.
This was followed by 'distance from the current residence' (37.3%) and 'interior environment of the dwelling' (8.5%).
Among the types of dwellings preferred for relocation, 97.1% favored public residences such as public rentals or permanent rentals. Among the public residences, the preference rate for permanent rental dwellings (50.2%) was the highest.
The desire for reoccupation after reconstruction was surveyed at 88.2%, while the rate of those who want to continue living in temporary residences was found to be 11.1%.
