en.Wedoany.com Reported - South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport recently passed an amendment aimed at accelerating the post-disaster recovery process in affected areas, allowing the omission of certain administrative procedures in construction projects.

According to the amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Construction Technology Promotion Act, which was reviewed and approved by the State Council, "construction projects carried out under disaster recovery plans pursuant to the Natural Disaster Countermeasures Act" have been included in the scope of projects eligible for adjusted administrative procedures. Previously, although the law allowed for emergency construction adjustment procedures, it was difficult in practice to determine whether routine recovery projects qualified as "emergency projects," leading to limitations in the implementation of relevant provisions.

Following this revision, procedures such as design economic feasibility reviews for approximately 9,000 disaster recovery projects annually can be omitted or adjusted, significantly improving the speed of recovery initiation and project progress. Additionally, the amendment to the Enforcement Rules of the Construction Technology Promotion Act, scheduled for implementation earlier this month, stipulates that disaster recovery projects may also omit design and construction suitability reviews by local construction technology review committees.

Kim Myung-jun (phonetic), Director of the Technical Safety Policy Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated that disaster recovery project contracting agencies, such as local governments, should actively utilize the newly clarified provisions as well as existing emergency project exception rules to ensure that the golden time for recovery is fully utilized.
