Restoration of National Homogeneity between two Koreas and Stabilization of Land Order inside DMZ for Peaceful Co-existence There are several kinds of important things which have to be achieved in the era of inter-Korean exchange and cooperation. One is the restoration of national homogeneity between North and South Korea, and another is the stabilization of land order inside DMZ for the sustainable development. In order to restore the national homogeneity, it is imperative to improve the scope and impact of humanitarian assistance to the vulnerable groups in North Korea, expand social, cultural and sports exchanges, resume Mountain Kumgang tourism project and Kaesong Industrial Complex and raise awareness of unification and the importance of inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation among the youth in South Korea. The whole land in DMZ north of the 38th parallel was nationalized in 1946 by the land revision of North Korea's Government. On the other hand, the ownership of land in DMZ south of the 38th parallel, that is to say, the land in Pa-ju County, Gyeong-gi Province, was scattered and disappeared by the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. Beside, there is a substantial probability that the commanders of combatant nations in Korean War might insist on the dominium of some parts of land in DMZ during preparation for Korean Peace Arrangement instead of the present Armistice Agreement. It is, therefore, urgent mission for Korean People to change the DMZ into a neutral area as a natural monument like the Green Belt in Germany. In respect of stabilization and sustainability, the land in DMZ could not be nationalized or privatized and then should alternatively become the commons, so to speak, the public land like the open space or public surface. |
