Land is, We might say, a resource which is not only the object of private possession, but also the basis of all people for living. It has, that is, two functions in private and public properties. We might say that the Green Belt is the most conflicting zone between private and public interest.
In this research Paper, I investigate the designated status, problems and remedies of the Green Belt, which has been intended to prevent people and industries from centralizing on cities by prevention the disorderly spread, and thus to secure a delightful life - environment by preservation the natural environment around the cities.
First of all, I observe the designated status of the Green Belt, which measures the area of 5,397 ㎢ dotting 21 towns, 39 countries and 186 subcountries located around cities.
Secondly, I analyze and examine some controversial points raised by its designation; ( 1 ) destroying the Green Belt, ( 2 ) damaging the residents dwelling within the area, ( 3 ) being illegal change of usage, ( 4 ) regarding it as a target of speculation, ( 5 ) licensing the unauthorized shacks built prior to notification.
Third, it seems to be keen the necessity for a maintenance it, despite these problems.
The attendent problems in maintenance the Green Belt, however, would be improved upon.
For developing more logical theory and institutionalizing it, I suggest some reform-measures about the Green Belt.
( 1 ) To separate the right of development from dominium and to buy it up to make public - owned property could be compensation to the owner and be possible to maintain the Green Belt through controlling the right of development.
( 2 ) It would be better to make function the Green Belt as a zone of territorial integrity in the sense of national planning rather than urban planning.
( 3 ) It needs to operate a general investigation for the Green Belt, to readjust it as far as the object permits and to devise an applicational measure positively, not to let it alone passively after designation.
It is about twenty years since the Green Belt is designated in Korea. It is the time, I think, to make fundamental estimation about it's roles and existing merits by our experiences and data of reality.
