Article 46 (2) of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory provides that, according to the provisions of Article 29 (5) of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory and Article 29 (1) of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory, compensation amount for expropriation of land shall be based on the standard land price, but it shall be determined in consideration of wholesale prices increase rate, normal market price and other matters in neighboring similar land which are irrelevant to the area concerned from the date of the public announcement of the standard land price to the time of the determination of compensation amount. Meanwhile, according to the latter part of Article 29 (1) of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory and the Act on the Management of the National Territory and the Act on the Management of the National Territory and the Act on the Management of the National Territory and the Act on the Management of the National Territory and the Act on the Management of the National Territory, the compensation amount for expropriation of land shall be calculated based on the price at the time of the adjudication on expropriation.
