This study is to suggest the need to apply appraisal in calculating estimated compensation in order to efficiently implement the national cadastral resurvey project. The results from this research are summarized as follows. First, it is expected that the need to calculate estimated compensation would increase in the near future because current cadstral records do not reflect the reality. Second, the calculation and adjustment of estimated compensation can not be performed by officially assessed individual land price because the true value of a land can not be evaluated on the basis of the individual land price. Third, a variety of evaluation techniques such as individual evaluation and partial evaluation would be required in calculating estimated compensation depending on the type of land. In addition, an expert appraisal would be applied to the calculation of estimated compensation in order to achieve the purpose of fair estimated compensation.
