“…In a study on UGBs in Seattle by Cunningham, a pseudo-UGB was constructed for Seattle's UGB to test the probability of land development, both within and outside the UGB [55]. This article refers to this practice, and we obtained a new narrow greenbelt by indenting it 500 m from the inner and outer boundaries of the present greenbelt.…”

The Effects of Greenbelt Policies on Land Development: Evidence from the Deregulation of the Greenbelt in the Seoul Metropolitan Area

Greenbelt policies are important urban containment policies. On the one hand, they can effectively control the disorderly growth of a city; on the other hand, they can cause other social problems because of their strict control over land development. This paper uses data from 2000 and 2010 and the difference-in-differences (DID) method to evaluate the effects of greenbelt deregulation policies on urban land development in the Seoul metropolitan area (SMA) through a quasi-natural experiment. The results show that first, the deregulation of the greenbelt has significantly furthered urban land development that was not caused by economic development or other factors. Second, the greenbelt deregulation had no significant effects on urban land development in the city centers, but has furthered urban land development near the boundary of Seoul City and greenbelt boundaries. Third, in terms of the effects on land development, the greenbelt deregulation has resulted in regional heterogeneity. Specifically, the greenbelt deregulation has had a significant impact on the urban land development in the southern section of the Han River, whereas the effects of the greenbelt deregulation in the northern area of the Han River are not as obvious.

“…Subsequent amendments to the Land Acquisition Act changed the statutory date for purposes of valuation for compensation to 1 January of 1986, 1992, and 1995. In 2007, the use of a historical statutory date was removed by Parliament, and compensation has since been pegged to full market value.…”

“…However, in the case of Singapore, these lower development intensity effects do not exist for land leases sold by the government because the government defines the land use, development intensity (plot ratio), and time-to-project completion under the Government Land Sales Programme. The detailed planning regulations basically strip away development options and reduce the uncertainty linked to the optimal time to exercise the real option of land development, thus accelerating investments (Cunningham 2007).…”

Land-use regulations may also potentially have non-negligible distributional effects (Quigley and Swoboda, 2007;Cheshire and Vermeulen, 2009).…”
