As any driver will tell you, parking in urban neighborhoods can be very difficult. The current policy to ease this problem is to lease unused private land for free and turn it into public parking. However, due to soaring real estate values recently, the number of public lots is dwindling. Joseph Kim has more.

This is a public parking lot located in Donam-dong, Jeju City. Since there are a lot of offices in this area, the road often has heavy traffic.

In october in 2014, Jeju City leased this unused land for free, and turned it into a public parking lot. Drivers here are happy about the increased parking spaces.


INTERVIEW
Yang Jae-hyeon / Yeon-dong, Jeju City
Before the public parking lot was made, I had trouble finding a place to park my car. I’m happy that this lot is close to my workplace because it saves time.
“공영주차장이 생기기 전에는 이 근처에 행사 있으면 차 세울곳이 없어서 5분정도 거리에 세웠는데, 이제 여기 생기니까 회사 사무실도 -----수퍼체인지-----
근처인데 좋고, 출근할 때 시간도 단축돼서 좋아요.

INTERVIEW
Kim Seong-ho / Ido-dong, Jeju City
It is true that there are not enough parking lots in Jeju City. I think using vacant land for more public parking lots is a great idea.
“제주시 전체적으로 봤을 때 주차공간이 많이 부족한 것은 사실이에요. 비어있는 땅들을 많이 활용을 해서 주차장으로 이용하면 좋죠."

However, there has been a steady decrease in the number of public parking lots in the downtown area.

### C.G IN

For the past 3 years, an increasing number of landlords have requested the lands returned.
28 public parking lots have disappeared this year alone.

### C.G OUT

Due to the boom in land prices, people are opting to develop the vacant land.

Even though Jeju City is looking for new land to make more public parking lots, it is not easy to find.

INTERVIEW
Lee Yong-soo / Dir., Jeju City parking dept.
Jeju City has worked to relieve the parking congestion, but the recent rise in real estate values and the construction boom makes finding land for parking lots exceedingly difficult.

“제주시에서는 주차난 완화의 일환으로 다양하고 실효성있는 주차장 확충 시책을 추진하고 있는데 최근들어 지가상승과 건축경기 활황으로

인해 부지확보에 굉장히 어려움이 많은 실정입니다.”

If a landlord agrees to turn their unused land into a temporary public parking lot, they will be offered tax incentives in return.
