1. Reason for Amendment
- Industrial complexes currently regulate neighborhood noise and vibration under the Noise and Vibration Control Act only in residential and commercial areas as defined by Article 36 of the National Land Planning and Utilization Act, excluding other zoning areas such as industrial areas, in accordance with the purpose of industrial development.
- However, semi-industrial areas within industrial complexes accommodate residential, commercial, and business functions alongside light manufacturing and other industries, leading to complaints and demands for noise and vibration regulations.
- Therefore, while maintaining semi-industrial areas within industrial complexes as exempt from regulations as they currently are, the Special Self-Governing Mayor, Special Self-Governing Governor, head of a Si, Gun, or Gu may designate them as regulated areas when necessary, taking into account the zoning plans of the semi-industrial areas. This aims to provide a serene residential, commercial, and business environment for rational and equitable improvement, and to refine certain deficiencies that have appeared during operation.
